Tonight into Wednesday • all times EDT

The overnight route to LaGuardia.

Overnight rail connection

Wed 00:33 · NJ TRANSIT 3892New Brunswick → New York Penn 01:36.

Penn → Jackson Hts → LGAUse the 8 th Avenue subway entrance at 34 St-Penn. Earlier verified overnight work routes the Queens-bound F along the E line to Jackson Hts–Roosevelt Av, then the free Q 70 to TerminalB. Recheck the linked MTA alert before boarding.

04:29 · LGA TerminalB targetAllow 90 minutes or more from Penn as a planning buffer, not a live prediction.

Fallbacks, not promises

Missed 3892? Backup 3800 departs New Brunswick 01:19 and reaches Penn 02:19. Check departure boards. If rail or subway becomes unreliable, compare a direct car to LGA with the airport target.

Train ticket: check the NJ TRANSIT app before traveling.

Very early airport arrival: counter opening, security access, shops and lounge admission are separate. Do not assume overnight amenities or lounge access.

Rail timings rechecked against the official temporary weekday timetable effectiveOct 11–Nov 14. MTA’s live alert did not load in this pass; the specific F reroute remains a prior verified instruction to recheck.

Getting home Sunday night

Scheduled LGA arrival 23:34 EDT. A car to the actual destination is simpler; no ride is booked. The earlier verified weekend rail option is Penn 01:22 Monday(train 7805), New Brunswick 02:21/Princeton Junction 02:38. Only 1 h 48 separates scheduled landing from that Penn departure, before deplaning and transit. Treat it as conditional, not dependable; check the return-night subway route and timetable, and use a car if tight.

Confirm your own room dates, assignment and check-in time with the hotel. The photo illustrates the resort and does not show an assigned room.

At SJD: your confirmed shuttle

  1. After immigration/customs, go outside the terminal to the Group Transfers area.
  2. Find On Tour staff: purple shirt, black pants, carrying a Hard Rock sign. Terminal 2 map marks umbrella 9.
  3. Email advises 20–40 minutes waiting after meeting the host. Shared transfer travel is approximately 50 minutes and may collect other guests; not a live road estimate.
  4. The confirmation allows one luggage piece plus one carry-on per person.

Help: +52 6246890160, extension 4440, 07:00–19:00. Call yourself; the operator says it does not request cash at the airport.

Sunday pickup 08:10. Visit a Vacation Planners desk to reconfirm flight details at least 48 hours before pickup (by Friday, October 23 at 08:10 Cabo time). Do this on arrival rather than leaving it until the wedding day. Confirmation is not provided by phone.

Keep calm. Start here.

If something goes wrong.

Immediate danger in Mexico: 911. Get somewhere safe and ask hotel staff to help you contact official services.

Lost wallet or card

  1. If merely misplaced, temporarily lock it in the issuer app while searching.
  2. If lost/stolen, promptly report it to the issuer for cancellation/replacement and review recent charges. A freeze is not a theft report.
  3. Ask about hotel delivery and temporary payment options. Timing and availability are not guaranteed.

Lost passport

If traveling on a U.S. passport: contact U.S. consular services promptly and state your flight date. Reporting it lost/stolen invalidates it, even if later found. Replacement requires an in-person application; a photocopy cannot replace your passport for flying home.

Bring available ID, citizenship/passport copy, 2×2-inch passport photo, itinerary, DS-11 and fees. Consular staff can advise if something is missing. An emergency limited-validity passport may be possible, not guaranteed.

Your return is SundayOct 25. Mexico passport services require appointments and are unavailable weekends/U.S. or Mexican holidays. Do not wait until airport departure.

Los Cabos Consular Agency is listed at Las Tiendas de PalmillaL-B 221, Km 27.5 Carretera Transpeninsular, San José del Cabo 23406. On-site emergency passport issuance was not verified: contact first, do not arrive expecting same-day service. If your passport is notU.S.-issued, use your country’s embassy/consulate instead; ask about separate visa/residency-document implications.

Before leaving home: keep a backup card and modest emergency cash separate from the everyday wallet. Save a protected offline passport copy separately from the passport, plus insurance assistance details if insured. Verify banking-app access. Do not put full card numbers, CVV or passport images in this HTML.

Preparedness only: no passport report, card freeze or replacement order has been made.
