Can I land in LGA at 4:30pm and get to JFK for an 8pm international flight? That’s 3.5 hours... there’s also an option for a 6 hour layover..
Take the risk or no?

I wouldn’t entirely ignore the subway suggestion. If there’s a lot of traffic that will be your best bet. From LGA take Q70 to Jackson Heights subway stop (it’s direct with no stops). Take the E to Sutphin and then jump on the AirTrain to JFK.

If you had a bunch of bags that would be annoying but otherwise you’d limit your traffic exposure significantly

like

Q70 bus - Budget approx 40mins (this is perhaps worst case. Took me 45mins from B at 5:30pm on Thurs) for transit to Jackson hts. From there to Jamaica stn is 20mins. Jamaica gets you the air train (++ ~15mins for terminals) .

I would think so. That’s if you do land at 430pm. Had a lot of flights into LGA delayed recently.

I wouldn’t risk it. The traffic can be awful

Yes, if your lands on time. N preferably not landing in Terminal B (that one’s a real bad boy. No Uber from arrivals)

Shuttle takes about 50-60 mins or a 30 minute Uber for around $30.

You could walk there in that time.

Uber you will be fine. Know that Uber at LGA picks up in a separate lot

I’d do the 6 hr layover and use lounge access at JFK if you get there early. Too much stress worrying about delays and traffic

Depends if you have checked baggage. If not, uber and you can make it.

LGA delays can be really bad. In theory you'd have no problem but if a flight gets cancelled or delayed you might miss the connection.

like

Delays in/out of LGA and construction now.

like

DO NOT TAKE the 3.5hour layover, you’ll miss it for sure

like

@McKinsey2 "can I land in LGA at 4:30" hence fly into LGA

I can read perfectly well. A majority of comments which suggest it's a bad idea reference the ongoing construction and issues at LGA. My point is that those references are blown out of proportion

As mention multiple times the actual travel time to JFK isn't far so 3.5 hours should be fine for OP

Hi there!
I completed the last round of an interview (presentation) last week. Originally they said they would be calling my references & then make an offer accordingly.
Today they updated that they'd like me to travel to their HQ (based in Nordics & I'm in London) for the final round where I'd meet the CEO, the hiring manager and a couple of people in the team.
I don't think I'm the only one in the process - even though initially the last round was the presentation.
What are your thoughts?

Pros:

- fairly decent place to work (from someone who worked with the Vancouver and San Jose offices). never met a blue badger (permanent employee) who had awful things to say.

- Ashley Goodall (their SVP, Methods & Intelligence) co-authored a brilliant book on leadership and people management called “Nine Lies About Work” that makes me believe they can be an awesome place to work

Cons:

- red badgers had low morale since they’re contract workers and can be terminated at any time
