THE NIGHT BEFORE
  • Pranay flies DL 751 to Denver at 8:55 AM, also Delta from LGA, so you travel out together on the same early PATH.
  • Pick your exact PATH train in RidePATH (or the Transit app) tonight — before 6 AM they run only about every 35–40 min. Aim to leave Harrison between ~4:45 and 5:15 AM.
  • Check the MTA app for weekend work on the E. The backup route is at the bottom.
  • Prefer zero stress? A car from Harrison to LGA takes ~35–45 min that early — book it tonight as a backup.
