exactly. My advice to anyone going to such places including Egypt, have a bunch of singles. Even better, get half dollars and tell them its dollar coins.

Gotta appreciate Israel's one and only neighboring country willing to accommodate this.

Is this considered a risky flight on a Friday?

Everyone has a different definition of risky but technically yes.

My rav told me it was ok.

If the flight would have been significantly delayed I would have just stayed in Miami for shabbos.

The scheduled arrival was more than 5 hours before shabbos and I was staying pretty close to the airport so the only concern I really had was a delay after landing in LGA and that left enough time for that.


Also I was happy to see a shop in the airport selling challah just in case I would get stranded for shabbos.  ;)
