    HPN to PHX - need help with impossible itinerary!

    Hey everyone. My boss needs to go to Phoenix on Sunday night...only problem is that it's Father's Day and he'll be in Westchester. The last flight out of NYC airports is 7:50 and there's not way on earth he'd make that, so I'm aiming for a connecting flight out of HPN. Only problem is that the latest listed connecting flight out of there is earlier than that. I'm trying to customize a connecting itinerary by using 2 airlines and booking seperately (cost does not matter at this point).

    Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm hunting around but I'd like some direction as far as best hubs to look at connecting from Westchester to PHX.

    Thanks in advance! :)

    It's hard to take chances but sometimes it's better if you do

    HPN that late is impossible without a 5 hour layover at best. The latest viable option is US from JFK at 8:19 or EWR at 8:30, with a connection in LAS which lands at PHX at 1:16am. Or he has to leave earlier.
    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

    Ok guys...thanks for your efforts, but it has proven to be impossible. Matt's itinerary was the only one that even got him there the same night (overnight) but it just wasn't feasible. He has to go the next morning.

    Eric,

    No, she said he has to GET THERE....and there's no guarantee that he will with US Airways these days.

    Mel, not sure there is an acceptable option from HPN. but LGA is closest by far.
    It's the fares, stupid

    Tell him to open the wallet and charter an aircraft.
    Leave when he wants. ;)
