My goal is to fly direct from the west coast non-stop to one of the NYC airports where I can then easily connect via train to get to Albany NY.</font>
Not sure why you have this goal-- you must have your reasons....
But FYI, Southwest flies right into ALB, and the majors are matching $198-type round trip fares fron Seattle. But, if you'd prefer the trans-NYC trek, more power to ya!
