MA DIS'ers - Best Route to Bradley?

[CJsMom]

Hi - hoping there's a few DIS'ers from MA who have travelled to Bradley Airport in Windsor Locks, CT. Our flight leaves at 1pm next Wednesday. I'm planning to get to the airport by 11am, and I live about 1 hr. 45 mins away (according to mapquest), so I anticipate some morning rush-hour traffic. Traffic -wise, is it best to take Mass Pike to 84 to 291, or stay on the Mass Pike through Springfield and pick up 91 there? Thanks!

I commute to Hudson (from Metro West) every day and have been to that airport once. Get on the Pike before 7:30am. Most of the traffic on the pike will be heading east bound towards Boston, but there can be a hiccup or 2. By the time you should encounter any traffic for Worcester or Springfield, most of the rush hor should have cleared out. Same for when you head south for Hartford. You may get to the airport 9:45-10:30, but better early than late.

Thanks. I will not be able to leave until 8:30am unfortunately. BTW - I live in Marlborough. Do you think it's better to take the Pike to 91 and avoid 84, or not much difference from Pike-84?
