Are Alternative Airports Worth the Drive

Great story in USA today earlier this month, click here. Worcester got mentioned:


Boston

Main airport: Logan: Close in, good public transportation, easy cab access to centers.

• Manchester-Boston Regional Airport, Manchester, New Hampshire: 58 miles from central Boston, free shuttle to Boston every 3 hours, 15 minutes; too far for cabs; closest Boston airport for Southwest, also other airlines. Use it mainly for Southwest.
  
  •T.F. Green Airport, Warwick, Rhode Island: 59 miles from central Boston; poor public transportation (Amtrak/MBTA airport station under construction); too far for cabs. Boston option for Southwest, also other airlines. Use it mainly for Southwest.
