Anyone have any experience or recommendations for either of those airports? TIA. Another option that hasn't been mentioned is PHL. There are inexpensive flights from SYR to PHL, if your pax insists on flying commercial part way. PHL is busy but not GA unfriendly. DB |

flights from SYR to PHL, if your pax insists on flying commercial part way. PHL is busy but not GA unfriendly. DB The last time I flew into PHL I had to pay a $20 landing fee plus $20 ramp fee. They would have waived the ramp fee had I bought fuel at a very high price. |

Come to think of it, I was on Angel Flight missions both times when I've been there, so they prolly waived the fees for Angel Flight. DB |

You pretty much invariably get 8/26 and 35/17 for a short uncomplicated taxi to/from Atlantic. Parking fees are a bit weird and variable but often waived for short stays and fuel purchases, and there is (was?) a weekend discount for fuel. (And "fill it up tomorrow morning so I get a discount" worked fine.) Even getting in and out when they're busy isn't hard due to the runway layout, though Clearance Delivery can be a zoo. With regard to the original question, despite that I live near Boston I'd go *anywhere* before BOS, even JFK. OK, so JFK is actually pretty nice and amazingly reasonably priced, but BOS is a pit. And an expensive pit. |
