<p>Today, being the busiest day of the year for Hartsfield-Jackson in Atlanta, is living up to its reputation. Took son to the airport, got him there by 8:00 a.m. for a 10:00 a.m. departure and the flight has been delayed, and delayed, and delayed. Plane had mechanical problems in Denver. Right now, it's scheduled to leave at 5:00 p.m., but who knows. At what point does it become unrealistic to try and get back to KP in the evening? How late will the taxi service run from LGA to KP? Son has already called and informed KP of the delay and his being late. I'm getting the sneaking suspicion his flight will be cancelled.</p>
<p>majmattmason, you can always get a taxi, no matter how late. Friendly Taxi is available 24/7. They are cheaper than a NY taxi, plus they can find USMMA more easily. Getting back late is preferable to the next day. This avoids missing class, borrowing notes, make-up assignments, etc. That said, KP was very understanding when this happened to my son last year. Communications with KP is the key. Let us know how this turns out.</p>
<p>His plane finally took off around 7:00 p.m. yesterday evening. He was back at KP sometime after 10:00. All's well that ends well.</p>
