International flight - Changing airport and airline in New york
I'm looking at an international flight and the return segment involves changing airports from John F. Kennedy Airport (JFK) to LaGuardia Airport (LGA). The airline changes as well, from British Airways to Virgin America.
If I purchase this ticket from Skyscanner Ltd. and if there is a delay, will I be taken care of and put on a different flight on Virgin America, or does that become my responsibility at that point?
Best Answer
It sounds like you are booking two separate flights - one to JFK; and then another separate trip outbound from LGA.
These are unrelated; which means that your luggage won't be checked through, and you'll have to check in at LGA to receive your boarding pass for the second flight.
So to answer your question regarding the delay - it is solely your responsibility as Virgin America will not have any knowledge of your British Airways flight - even if you told them; they are not liable for any compensation to you.

And there is no easy way to do this. You need to use a taxi (JFK to LGA) or car service (JFK to EWR). Trying to do it via public transit would be a PIA and likely take even longer since there would be multiple changes. And if this is 2 separate tickets then YOU are responsible for making the next flight.Can you switch airports with the same airline?
