Tight YUPP Connection

WOW!!!! Your game, I hope your only travelling with carry on.

I wish you luck with what I've been reading about AA recently and all their delays I hope all you departures and arrivals are on time.

I'm so chicken I always allow at leat 1 and half to two hours between flights, I'm always worried my suitcases won't arrive with me.

(As it has happened and was in NYC for three days with no suitcase)..
Good luck with that and would like to hear what you do.

I also forgot to mention, depending on what time and what airport it can take 35 minutes and longer just to get through security.

Not really an issue when you are staying airside as would be happening here.

Yeah - bout that.........

SO - re-looked at the plan now and have no problem at ORD - but have a 45 min connection at LGA.

Those who know LGA know that it's horrible if you have to change terminals - security alone will destroy my connection (even if the flights are on time). That would probably increase the difficulty with being reAAcommodated.

That said there are mulitples out of LGA later in the day...........

EF says both those flights are from Terminal B - but I just don't trust it......... although I'll probably do it anyway!



On another note - I need to go grab my heart pills because I just looked at the price and I think I may have just cracked the holy grail!!!

Those that know will understand - but let's just say I don't have to meet anyone named Martinez, Diego or Marquis Jnr!!!

can you increase the 45 connection at LGA? There may be multiple flights leaving later, but the issue is getting the confirmed F seat. If you possibly can, allow a couple hours.

thanks for the heaps up with the pricing!

If I choose one of the later connections the price goes up dramatically.

On the particular day I wish to travel it's my only cheap option - so I figure I'll choose the cheaper one and risk the bump or ORC but I still arrive same day (even with a bump).

I haven't tried other days as this is the best day for me.

Just priced the return (have to do it as separate tix) - comes in "just" over the holy grail for the return.

Done and booked.

Turns out some friends want to catch up in LAS for a couple of days so that will immediately precede my run.....

(Not sure how wise that will be - especially considering how I felt the last time I caught up with them in Reno )
