We can either A) drive an 1.25 hours to our local airport (Scranton PA) and take a flight that has a stop in Atlanta and pay $208 per person. OR
We can drive to New York, which I think is about 2.5 hours (but we would plan on 3.5 hours in case we get lost ha ha). And take a nonstop flight that is $142 per person.
Both scenarios give us decent flight times and are on Delta. We are very familiar with the Scranton airport... but have never driven into NY.
We'll have 3 kids with us, and I don't know if we want to take them into a NY airport (they're huge, right?) or will sacrifice and get on and off planes. I also don't know which of the two airports is closest and easiest to get in and out of (so far I've been looking into JFK).
So.... how bad is it getting in and out of JFK? Is it worth doing this to save money and to get a non-stop flight?
Really stuck on this one. And if you think we should fly out of NY... how do I convince him that he can do it (nervous about the NY traffic!).
Also, how much does it cost to park for a week at the airport?
