Several hotels down there offer cheap parking if I stay a night, so that's my primary plan, but for around the same amount of money, the two of us can fly down from Lebanon, NH on Cape Air.
But the earliest flight arrives at 7:10am, 2 hours before my flight (I know AA likes earlier arrival for international flights, but realistically, every time I do this flight I spent hours hanging around the departure lounge). Anyone done the Cape Air into BOS and transferred to another airline? As long as it runs smoothly, this shouldn't be an issue (Cape Air is Terminal B, American is Terminal C), but was wondering if anyone else has done this.
You live in the area, so you probably know this. Still, just in case, realize you will have to leave the sterile area in B, hike to C (not too bad) and re-clear security. At 7:30 AM (give or take), that may cut into your connection time a tad making things a bit uncomfortable.
Presumably you wont pay parking if you fly down/bus down/etc. What about spending a night at a hotel on property. Sometimes the rates for the Hyatt and Hilton through the bidding sites come to 50-70 bucks. Not bad to spare yourself the sweats in the security line. I'm not sure about Terminal C, but B has new nude-o-scopes and once the rush gets going, things get a bit slow.
