even if I booked through Priceline I'm assuming I have to speak with AC about the schedule change they made to my flight? Trying to arrive in LGA instead of EWR

+1 ,although they only changed  the schedule with 25 minutes and in order to have free changes it has to be 60 minutes change

depending, if your first flight  leaves now earlier, you can explain them that you cant leave work so early, etc.

you need to speak to price line if you booked with them.

+1 just got a schedule change email

I think this is the first time in my life I booked tickets early enough to get schedule change emails

what was changed? the short flight, or the international flight?

Thanks, will give them a call. They are much more difficult to deal with than going direct to the airline. Up until when can I make a change?

usually within a few days

did they notify you, or you noticed by your self? if by your self, then you can wait until they will notify you.

You sure it's just +/- 7 days?
2.5 years ago, UA let me push a trip back 2 months due to a schedule change.

Also, why call ASAP? As soon as you change, you lose flexibility afforded by schedule change.
Risk is opportunity

Not saying people shouldn't book if they have half of chance of going. But to grab multiple dates when you know you're only going to use one of them, tops, can be unfair.
most people myself included, when taking advantage of a glich, are not exactly fair conscious.

Is it fair to take advantage of a glich?

I just realized that my connection at YYZ for flight to TLV is 1 hour and 3 minutes. Please tell me this is going to work! Any tips to make this work? I have Global Entry if that helps..
If you are trying to get my attention/assistance and I'm not responding, please feel free to PM me. :)

It should work, no customs, but with any delay you are screwed, go right to the gate since as usual TLV comes with a second security check

They changed the flight to tlv by 5 minutes. If you are now 58 minutes it's less than min connection and you can change to an earlier flight. You should since as searchguy says there is no leeway.

If you're on a puddle jumper your odds of delay are higher.

Or get to airport early and try to get on earlier flight.

I'm so confused. Should I change the flight? If yes, which one and how much is the minimum time I should allow myself?

I don't think anyone would disagree that you should change it if you can. a two hour connection would allow some leeway but not be too long.
