Just Got a Great Airline Fare On-Line

Why should it be cheaper to fly from Calif. or Wash. than it is for a measly two hour flight from hartford Ct.?

Flights coming from major hubs of airlines seem to get the lower fares because those planes have to go there. Phoenix to Orlando on American will either stop in Dallas or St Louis so fares are cheaper. The short hops seem to always be more because there are no hubs in-between to pick up passengers going somewhere else.

Ann, you might want to also keep fare watchers on fares from Providence (PVD) along with Bradley. That's a very easy airport to get to from our area (I bet I live not 5 miles from you - I'm right by the Pike in Westfield!). I just got nonstop fares for us next month for $166 including all taxes on Delta. I could have gotten fares from Bradley at that time for just around $200, but they were transfers through Detroit and would have added close to 4 hours to our travels. The airport at Providence is just around 70 miles from Bradley, and *much* easier to use than Logan.

Ruth, wow we are neighbors, we live about five mins. from the purple onion on the southampton side. Small world. I will look into providence, never thought of that, hartford takes us about 45 mins so 70 is not bad. My husband said to check worcester too. Gotta hit the airfare sites and plug in those areas, thanks! Ann
