From central Massachusetts, BDL is actually a decent option. I can be at BOS in 55 minutes, PVD in 60 minutes, BDL or MHT in 75 minutes, but factoring in traffic and parking, BDL has often been a decent option for me.
Small world -- I grew up in Guilford. When I visit my parents, who still live there, I almost always fly into BDL. Once in a while PVD. It's a haul to NYC from Guilford when you factor traffic in. When I was in college I'd fly out of EWR once in a while.
