Reply to comment by degggendorf in Breeze Airways opens base of operations in Rhode Island by therealDrA

There always seem to be people on Reddit asking for the best way to get to Logan from RI.

At the risk of being a “well ackshully” guy…there are only so many flights that fly out of Green/Warwick. It sucks, but it’s true.

You can connect with one stop to anywhere in the world on United. You connect at Newark or Dulles or Chicago and the world awaits.

nonstop > 1-stop

What I communicated further below is that Boston does not have as strong an international network as other east coast airports. So...you end up having a stop even when flying out of Boston in many instances. So I would rather have a one stop in Newark or Dulles out of PVD than a commute to Boston and a stop somewhere else.

Well yeah, of course less driving and cheaper parking with the same number of layovers is preferable.

I guess my frustration is that many people (not you) automatically assume Logan is better because it is larger and do not even consider that PVD might actually be better in many cases...even for international travel and sometimes even point to point...use it or lose it as they say..and I want PVD to thrive.

I actually would argue Boston has a pretty darn good international network for the east coast. Not like jfk obviously, but pretty good. Avianca just restarted flights to bogota from Boston yesterday, as a example .

I said it didn't have as strong an international network as Newark or Dulles which is true. They have a decent international roster, I agree

Flights from PVD to EWR and LGA get delayed contstantly. I would avoid connecting through them if I could.

I can't speak to LaGuardia but never had a problem at Newark. But then again I never do under a two hour connection. Latest flight had was 20 minutes.

Hey, in 2019 we flew to Ireland from Green via Philly. Would I have rather nonstop? 100%. It was cheaper, and we had a membership with the airline. That being said, no stops is better than stops.

Wasn't Ireland Air or something doing non-stop to Cork from Greene a while back?

Norwegian did. PVD to Cork, Dublin, Edinburgh, Bergen, annnnd possibly Manchester, UK? They had a good presence but their own management as well as the 737Max did them in.

In Spring 2018, you could catch a direct red eye from TF Green to Dublin for ~$350-$500 roundtrip. My wife and I were fortunate enough to take the trip with Norwegian while it lasted…Those were the days!
