feet1,
Call me silly, but, I just don't like the idea of leaving our car parked at a remote lot at the PHL airport for a week and neither does my DH. Too many things can happen. That area is not a particularly welcoming area to begin with and I just don't feel comfortable. Maybe if there was a huge difference in the price of renting a vehicle one way vs. parking for the week, but, since it's just about even costwise........for us anyway it's a nobrainer. However, trust me, you will love flying ns vs. stopping anywhere.....Atlanta in particular. AVP is practically in my backyard and while I think the new airport facility is very nice.......they can't compare when it comes to nonstop flights and prices. Believe me, I would prefer to fly from AVP (it takes us about 4 minutes to get there!!) if we could get comparables. Our last four trips have been on SW from PHL ........all ns and the most we've paid was $137.00 rd trp per person. This trip was $110 rd trp as was the last one in October.....can't beat it and SW is the BEST airline as far as I'm concerned.....we've never had a problem with them which is something I can't say for the two legacy carriers that fly from AVP.
