Last Sunday morning I found myself stranded in Dallas needing desperately to get to New York by Monday morning. My options were very limited and I ended up flying into Philadelphia International Airport (PHL).
I spent the entire 2+ hour flight from Dallas to Philly worrying about how I was going to make it through […]
This past weekend I finally had the opportunity to take the BoltBus (which I have covered extensively here and here) from Boston to New York! I didn’t get one of the “as advertised” $1 fares, mine was $15 due to my lack of planning and having to purchase the ticket as the last minute. […]
Just last month, the BoltBus started service between New York and Washington D.C. and it looks like business has been good for the Greyhound company; next week they will begin service to Boston.
There will be six daily trips between the two cities with departures from New York at 7am, 9am, 11am, 1pm, 3pm, and […]
Due to its location just 30 miles north of Manhattan, Westchester County Airport (HPN) in White Plains is one of the fastest-growing airports in the Tri-state area. Lower ticket prices and less congestion make it a great alternative airport to Newark, JFK, and LaGuardia. Airlines are always adding more destinations to the departure schedule. Currently […]
If you travel frequently between New York and Washington DC, you have a new transportation option. Boltbus, a division of Greyhound Lines Inc., will begin operating Thursday, March 27, making daily trips between DC and Manhattan.
The new Boltbus will run between Metro Center at 11th and G Street NW in DC and two stops […]
I am always up for adventure in my life. Cliff diving in Mexico, swimming with sharks in Thailand, taking a shoddy ferry across a very turbulent Strait of Gibraltar from Spain to Morocco, and so many more questionable things that I shouldn’t share because my mother reads this site. Last week I […]
Located about 50 miles from Manhattan, Long Island MacArthur Airport isn’t the most convenient airport to fly into, but it is one of the least expensive. MacArthur, also known as Islip Airport, is the only New York-area airport from which Southwest Airlines operates.
Bus-to-Long Island Railroad Train: Least Expensive
By far, the least expensive way […]
Taking a cab in New York City can be a new, and sometimes daunting, experience for travelers to The Big Apple. With just a few pointers, you can be cruising the streets of Manhattan in the back of a taxi in no time.
It always seems that there are never taxis available when you need […]
John F. Kennedy International Airport is truly the United States’ international airport. Flights from Abu Dhabi, Casablanca, and Reykjavík arrive on a daily basis. The smaller LaGuardia Airport has a large number of short-haul and regional flights with destinations mostly along the East coast.
Panic! You’ve just realized that your Delta airline tickets have you arriving […]
I could always see the giant blue warehouse with the big yellow letters as I drove north on the Jersey Turnpike. But I never took the time to figure out how to exit the turnpike. Luckily, IKEA has solved the problem for those “transportation-challenged” residents of New York City by offering a free […]
