You don't get 2 large bags on most airlines anyway. And the size of luggage is even smaller if you're flying international, although you get a checked bag too, unlike most domestic airlines that aren't Southwest. You have to be able to carry your own luggage one way or another, whether it's on an airport shuttle to a car rental facility, a subway, or through the airport itself.The NY Airporter just shows how stupid people are. Every single route they run is easily replicated by existing mass transit operations. I don't care about some stupid bus/limo service, as it is completely pointless. If I want to go to the airport, Metro-North is the best way to get there. Right now, from the Hartford area, you'd have to drive to NH and pay for parking to catch MN, but soon the NHHS service will connect to that at NHV, which isn't much different from SLE for us folks on the shoreline. The biggest problem with getting to airports is overnight parking availability and rates. In some towns, you can street park somewhere for free, but that's limited in other places. If the B15 is better, then take that. Either way a cab is entirely unnecessary. One of the reasons JFK is attractive is that it's accessible directly by rail. On the flip side, JFK itself is a congested cluster**** because of stupid Delta. |
