I could fly into NYC but I don't think that is much easier! I would have to overnight in NYC also which is inconvenient and expensive.
No international flights fly into RIC.
I am also curious about the Amtrak train. Surely I can take on baggage? Even if it costs a bit.
I am very tempted to just take an Uber! Around $255 but no changes and I could potentially even sleep a bit.
Do you use Uber there or something else??
Thanks for all your replies guys. It is very enlightening.
