Serving JFK and EWR from Manhattan's East Side (& JRB-BDR), and plans for Midtown West and LGA, this
is the only way to get the airport for the cost conscious at least. Codeshares with Delta and
Continental allow for check in from 34th or Wall Street to anywhere they fly! Now you get 500
Sky/Onepass miles too. 8 minutes between the city and the airport, maximum 8 people on board, cheap
fares, and ok frequency this is the best way to finish that 3:30 call at the office and still make
the 5:30 out of JFK. The best part about is that you clear TSA in the city, and thankfully the
travelers that go once a year and have no clue are no where to be found. Also, they call you if you
are running late, and will hold a flight if needed: happened to me twice now. It is a small
operation and limited in scope, but take advantage if you can. Staff are friendly and efficient,
even the TSA seems humane. The only thing, check with a Delta agent when you get to JFK, even though
you have an onward boarding card for some reason the check-in never registers, and a Delta desk
agent needs to reissue the boarding card, technology as usual I suppose. I have checked in for
international flights about 1,5 to 2 hours before hand from TSS/JRB and no problems, 15 minutes
later I was sitting in the lounge; finally travel the way it used to be.
