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

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

It's still a decent place. 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.
