Planning notes

Before booking

Check

Airport choice can matter more than city choice in New York, Washington, Chicago, Los Angeles, Dallas, Houston and San Francisco Bay Area.

Check

JFK, LGA and DCA are slot-controlled; EWR, LAX, ORD and SFO have FAA schedule review processes.

Check

Domestic self-connections on separate tickets can be risky around weather, security re-clearance and checked baggage.
