Transportation between Laguardia and JFK airports

Transportation between Laguardia and JFK airports ?
I have a flight coming from Memphis, TN and landing in Laguardia , NY at 12:00 pm (noon) and another one leaving from JFK to Egypt at 6:30 pm. I need to know, what are the available means of transportation and what is the best ? How much will it cost ? (We are a couple and we may be carrying 3 bags, not sure yet ). Thank you. And what if I have only a carry-on (In case we send the bags directly from Memphis to Cairo) ?

Cab - there is a cab line by ground transportation - this will be the easiest way b/c you are carrying bags and it will be cumbersome if you try to take the trains. a cab shouldnt cost you more than $20 - i'd be very suprised if it was more that $15. and you will have plenty of time to make your flight

What's the best site for cheap flight tickets

What's the best site for cheap flight tickets?
I need some help finding some cheap flight tickets. This will be my first time flying and I'm not familiar with a reasonable price of plane tickets. I will be flying from Memphis, TN to Los Angeles California April 12-15. What are web sites that I can go to to find some reasonable price plane tickets and what's the best day to buy those tickets?

The best site from my experiences is orbitz. I always find good deals. Unfortunately, the best time to buy tickets is either Saturday at midnight or Wednesday at midnight. It's one of those, but I'm not sure which. I am more positive about Wednesday, though. Reasonable plane tickets for your trip should be from $250 to $350. I searched orbitz and with those dates, I found the cheapest tickets are $266. For future reference, try to book a lot earlier than this, if possible, because you have more time to search for the best deals and as you get closer to the travel dates, the prices go up. Good luck and happy ticket hunting!

There are certainly many website that offer deals on travel, keeping that in mind I always suggest comparing prices with several travel websites before booking any travel. Many of the "big" name sites are really owned by the same company (hence the prices will all be about the same). If these are the only sites you check, then you won't know that there are better deals out there! I suggest always trying this travel site to compare prices (hope this helps)! www.everydaytravelconnections.com

There is no best day to buy tickets. The price can change at anytime. Now there are certain days that will make your trip cheaper as in flying midweek to midweek. With only a month out, it is highly unlikely that you will find cheap fares anymore. Except fares to only go up.

Honestly the best way to go is to book directly through the airline's website. I have ran across too many passengers who have had their itineraries messed up by third party booking companies. I checked Continental Airlines for you and the price quote with taxes and all is $291.30. United shows a little bit higher at $445. US Airways shows $414. Delta Airlines shows $445. American Airlines shows $444. Like I said, I've seen too many itineraries messed up or dropped by places like Orbitz or Cheap-O-Air. Continental Airlines would be your best bet!

Try http://www.kayak.com. Delta/Northwest should have a direct flight from Memphis to LAX. I would start searching for tickets now and buy no later than March 28. Sometimes flying on a Tuesday or Wednesday is a little cheaper so if you are flexible with your dates of travel, that would be good. Another option is if you are willing to drive to Nashville, Southwest Airlines flies out of there and the ticket price may be a little lower.

To my knowledge, there are currently no airlines flying nonstop on the MEM-JFK route. The Wikipedia page for MEM indicates that Delta had been operating this route (under the Comair/Delta Connection banner); however, the January 2011 timetable for Delta does not list any flights on the route at this time. Unfortunately, it appears that at this time, any flights to New York would require either a connection to get you to JFK, or flying into one of the other New York airports (LaGuardia or Newark) and then transferring to JFK on the ground.

yes there is stopover

Delta have non-stop from Memphis to New York - La Guardia (if you are going to Manhattan, LGA is a lot quicker and cheaper to go from) and Continental flies non-stop from Memphis to Newark, which is still closer to Manhattan than going from JFK. Hope this helps.

why, when you look for a scheduled flight at flightaware.com, you get the flight route which is planned.

why, when you look for a scheduled flight at flightaware.com, you get the flight route which is planned.......
... by dispatch, but when you compare then the north atlantic tracks (NXXWXX) from this flight plan to the real time NAT tracks which you can find online, they are not exactly the same? (i looked up the flight Northwest 58 from memphis to amsterdam, which leaves tonight, and there is written that the first waypoint over the atlantic is '47 north, 70 west', however, when you compare to the real time NAT tracks for tonight on https://www.notams.jcs.mil/common/nat.html you can see that non of these tracks begin with 47N070W... So how is that?

The flight plan is what is filed...the green track is the actual flight path (what the airplane flew). You can file Lat/Longs anytime you want, it does not need to be on the NAT's.
2 :
The one u look is the name of the way points in Dispatch FPL and 47 north or 70 west is the names these r not the coordinates u should not mix coordinates with way point names
