My son has just about convinced me on a Disneyland trip this winter (Feb most likely).
I'm coming from NY. So, I could...
1. Drive 20 minutes to my small local, really nice airport, fly to BWI (about a 45 minute flight), change planes and fly to San Diego (have family in SD that we'd see, too, which is why I was flying there and not LAX or elsewhere). I'd fly SW as it's the only option at this airport.
Or
2. DRIVE to the bigger airport (at least an hour but with NYC traffic would leave at least 2 hours drive time) and fly direct to San Diego. I have a greater variety of airlines to choose from with this option.
My son is 5, almost 6 at the time of the trip. He's a good flyer and I'd take the ipad with plenty of loaded movies. At the moment, option 1 is slightly more expensive but they are within $30 of each other.
Anybody see the benefit of one over the other? Thanks!
