Is 3.5 hours enough time to get from LGA to JFK for an international flight? It is wayyy cheaper but dont wanna push it

That’s enough time for a ground transfer if the first flight is on time. The much bigger risk is that your flight to LGA would be delayed and you not have time to make the connection.

Personally I go out of my way to avoid surface transfers as connections, and NYC airports are particularly bad places to do them reliably. Are there really no other connection cities with similar fares?

I have not tried it. Usually fly out of EWR. Heard positive reviews on a podcast with Tom Segura

$1500 difference but I might just connect through Chicago instead for no airport change and only a $200 increase. Thank you so much guys!!

How much cheaper are we talking? Do you have status to rebook at low/no cost if you miss your connection. If Murphy's law butts out of your life, I'd say yes. But if you get delayed and then there's traffic/weird subway stuff and a long line at security it may be close..... I'm am idealist if it's $1k, but it might not work out.

I've heard the Uber chopper isn't super expensive so maybe that could be an option to remove some of that risk since you're going airport to airport 😂 if you wanna get wild... Not sure totally how that works tho
