Boston Globe Story today:
MANCHESTER, N.H. --In a world where airlines are struggling to attract passengers, the Manchester City Council voted Tuesday to rename the local airport Manchester-Boston Regional Airport. Never mind that Boston is about 50 miles away.
The airport has billed itself as a no-hassle alternative to Boston's Logan International Airport. Kevin Dillon, director of Manchester Airport, said he wants to make sure distant travelers who might not know New England's geography understand the airport is close to Boston.

isnt Manchester more than 50 miles...I always thought Worcester was almost 50...if Worcester is 50 miles from Boston, Manchester must be about 75 or 80 miles away??please correct me if I'm wrong
Manchester really is only about 50 miles from Boston, while Worcester is more like 40 miles...
I had to fly into Manchester a couple months back, when Providence got snowed in... Very surprised how many of the people around me (SouthWest) were from Massachusetts, not New Hampshire. They found it easier to drive up to Manchester then down into Logan.
