Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9

I was actually looking around and sometime mid-July some of these fights will switch to a -300. At least for the LGA-BWI flights, not sure about the rest...I looked those flights up on Flight aware so who knows what can happen by then....
Glad to see some Canyon Blue in NYC! =)

The first BWI-LGA flight Sunday morning was a -300. Maybe that will be a Sunday-only thing, it was a -700 today.All the flights are scheduled to be -700's however there is always the option of MX or WX causing a swap out to a -300.

hey futterman fix the preview pics plz because im getting red X'S on my comp
I was excited since the day I heard the news, I live in NY but commute to Baltimore weekly for school so there more options the better.
Everyone kept saying the flights are just $49 etc. etc. and I kept telling them that its most probably only $49 if you book 2 weeks in advance but I just looked online and the flight for today and tomorrow is still at $49.
It must be a promotional deal for the launch of LGA service. If you check their web site, you can't get the $49 fare from ISP to BWI without an advanced purchase.

Yes, that BWI-LGA was a swap in BWI.
I am still showing LGA being entirely a -700 station in regards of SCHEDULED service. I have no clue what you are using flightaware for Bobby because that is very useless in regards to figuring out WN aircrafts.
As we all know WN probably swaps out the most of any airline, I assume they intend to keep LGA as a -700 station for noise reason and whatnot. However as we have already seen swaps have happened to a -300.
Yes, N603SW has winglets.

Well it's 2240 on Thursday night and WN 208 just taxied past my office, almost 3 and half hours late and no gate, as two WN birds landed within 5 mins of each other. Ground sent them down to the penalty box at the east of the end of LGA. I think WN is getting and early dose of LGA, their last 3 departures today are delayed between 3 and 4 hours, and are likely full with the holidays. That means about 400 people stuck at Gate B4. Their 1325 departure to MDW pushed right on time, but spent 2 and a half hours in line for takeoff, meaning I would guess many missed their connections. Well Southwest, you wanted LGA, you got it !
