saving on airfare ??

[SweetSue]

I have similar issue. I no longer live in NYC but have an airport about 25 minutes from home. Airfares from Stewart are generally much higher and would involve parking costs too ($20/day adds up when you're gone for 10 days or more). So, I usually make the 1 1/2 to 2 hour drive to JFK or LaGuardia to save a few hundred. Sometimes, I can take Metro North & the train or bus to the plane thereby saving the parking fee too. It makes for a long day's travel BUT sometimes that translates into $300+ which I would rather have to spend on the island. It is hard to get rides to the airport these days - especially when the haters get jealous! (Friends & family have accused me of having too much fun! )

I have driven to Birmingham, AL and Charlotte, NC from Atlanta a few times to save that kind of money. If I were in your situation I would do it to save the money.....but thats just me.

How about out of Pensacola or new orleans? New orleans is about 4 hours away and what I used when I lived in the panhandle.
