Thanks
There are two terms to become familiar with:
Double Town and Cross Town.
Double Town is the mileage and hourly expense that you are entitled to IF you are based in EWR and Flying a Trip that is both out of LGA and into LGA. Already explained in above thread.
Cross Town is when you fly out of one airport and back into another airport (ex out of LGA and into EWR). The company must get you back to your original airport via ground transportation which counts as a ground DH. in the example above you would fly out of LGA and then land in EWR. The company would need to ground transport you from EWR to LGA at the end of your Pairing. However ... you may request and the company must provide your request to put the ground transportaion on the front of your pairing. IOW you can call the Hotel desk and tell them that you'd rather get the ground transportation on the front of your pairing from EWR to LGA. Then when you land at EWR you are done. That way you can park in EWR. If you get company provided transportation in the cross town example ... you do NOT get the double town expense reimbursement.
