WN has not been a LCC for a long time. Their Q4 current CASM all-in is 15.3c. Applying that to the 1381 miles LGA-DAL and applying a 77% system LF, yields all-in cost of $275 per pax OW. ($211 at 100% LF) I'd argue with LGA's high airport costs ($35-40 CPE?) that the cost is likely higher.
Agree with @byerussell.com 100%. That’s my reaction every time I pass through the JFK Air Train.
Unlike at EWR, the cost is not integrated into the fare of the onward train.
Checked out the G concourse at ORD today, post gate re-allocation. It’s a circus…even by ORD standards.
UA has mainline and express gates on G. Not contiguous. One gate is shared with AS. One podium shared with AA.
Two EAS carriers, NK, AS, AA, and B6 all there. Three versions of FIDS.

@crankyflier.com landed at ROA this afternoon and saw these Breeze and AirWis aircraft on the ramp. VA Tech is close by, neither airline flies sked ops here, gotta be sports charters.
Hope you feel better! I must say...I have hit refresh on my browser all day today, feeling out of sorts. And then came here to see if I could find out what's going on. A Thursday with no Cranky has been weird, about as strange as UNC playing Cal and Stanford in ACC this week. Get well!!
Greetings from the WN operation at DEN. Flying a -700 this morning but was surprised to see tail stands for the -800 and -8 at the gate. I was told by Boeing many years ago tail tips would be *impossible* on the MAX due to the Leap engine weight and position. Any Blue Sky avgeeks know more?
Saw the GE aircraft at ORF this morning.
I am onboard the 51st tonight…
Seeing the impact of those post summer capacity reductions.
