Weird. For some reason, I've always been on the flights between LGA and LAX. I don't think I've ever flown out of JFk since I was probably 6 years old. It's just the way the ticketing and times have played out.
United is back. LAX-JFK with 46 seat biz class 767's ...yep not much competition for that
Alaska offered a woefully inferior product on the route. Their downgrade on the product offered by Virgin America finally bit them. How long before they end JFK - SFO? Frankly, I have always found Alaska's first class product to be lacking, no matter the market.
