Associated Press | Delta Air Lines said that on Monday it will launch hourly shuttle service, with 11 flights each weekday, between New York’s LaGuardia and Chicago O’Hare International airports.
Delta, the world’s largest airline, was operating nine flights daily between LaGuardia and Chicago’s Midway and three between New York’s JFK airport and O’Hare.
With the addition of Chicago-O’Hare, Delta said it will become the only
airline offering shuttle services to all of New York’s top three
business markets: Chicago, Boston and Washington, D.C.
United has a strong foothold in the Chicago market, and American has
recently announced plans to expand in New York.
Delta also announced Wednesday it is offering its frequent fliers triple
flown miles and triple Medallion Qualification Miles on all Delta
Shuttle flights connecting LaGuardia to Boston Logan, Washington D.C.’s
Reagan National and Chicago O’Hare between June 14 and Aug. 31.
I find it interesting that DELTA is making a big deal about these shuttle flights, but they are really being operated as codeshares by an unknown airline, Shuttle America, under contract to DELTA. As we’ve all come to learn, there’s a big difference between mainline flights and those operated by regional airlines as codeshares.

Nice catch Eric…they also fly a 12 seater to Detroit, and if my company puts me on it again I’ll blow my top!! Half the time they claim ‘mechanical problems’ when they don’t have enough customers, then I’m running down to Southwest to catch one of their flights….what a load!
