DEN to NYC Commute

Are you going from Den to Jfk, Lga, or Islip? I'd say it's pretty hard with all the "flow" into LGA unless u leave 1-day prior....

Jet Blue has 3 flight from Den-Jfk
United has 7 flights from Den-Lga
Frontier has 3 flights from Den-Lga

I am sure CO flies to EWR and AA might have some, but with the "flow control" delays, and winter snow at DEN, I'd say it's kinda hard.....Good Luck

Did it for 2 years, DEN-LGA. Everything is relative. PM me if you want more info. It also depends on WHO you are working for, days off, quality of trips, etc.

Hope you have a good commuter clause. Sounds risky in the wintertime with all the snow storms in DEN and NY....Good Luck

Grew up just a few miles from LGA and worked at JFK for a year...thought about moving back with Mom (LoL) till second-year pay, but found it an absolute NIGHTMARE to Jumpseat in and out of any of the big three. Haven't tried MacArthur.

Good luck and let us know how you make out - maybe you're better at it than me LoL

I've been doing it for the past four months with very little issue. I've gotten on every flight home I've tried for, and only had to call in commuter clause once. Typically I'll get on the 0055 JetBlue (flt 98 I think) that gets into JFK at 0630. They area a classy operation and treat other flight crew members well. They have the best snacks too.
