The price difference is amazing isn't it. The only issue I can see ( which doesn't effect me at all as I would always get dropped off at RST or at worst my car would be 10 minutes from my house at RST ) would be if RST was closed because of weather and you weren't able to get a flight from MSP to RST that day.
I know MSP has the best snow removal equipment but not sure about RST.
What makes less sense is MSP/BDL is 25K miles R/T..... RST/MSP/BDL 40K Miles...................so if you are paying cash you are better off flying out of RST............paying in miles use MSP................at least for my dates and flights
