I currently leave 2 hours for my PHL commute gone/parking/shuttle/gate for a ULCC. Just making my list of pros and cons. (Yes, one pro will be “it’s not a ULCC.”)
It’s not amazing, but plenty do it. Caveat is that flying shifts as network needs it to, but on the 737 there are currently a good % of EWR-based trips you could bid for if you’re on that fleet.
