Delta To shift Chicago-New York shuttle
Delta will start a new shuttle service between New York LaGuardia and Chicago O’Hare on June 10.
The Delta Shuttle service, with 11 daily roundtrip flights departing between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m., will replace existing service between LaGuardia and Chicago Midway that currently is offered nine times a day between the same hours. Even with 11 flights the service will not quite be hourly throughout the time period, with a two-hour gap before and after the 11 a.m. flight out of both cities and another two-hour gap later in the day.
