I actually fudged a longer layover to take my sisters out for lunch in Philly.
The big thing is that on the way back I need to take an afternoon departure from CDG (as I need to take the TGV from Poiters, France in the morning to get to CDG) - United I believe has a 12:30 pm one and US a 1:30 pm flight. Continental has one too but I seem to have horrid luck connecting in EWR, plus it arrives in BDL on the late side. I appreciate the alternate ideas for PVD, which is cheaper, and Stewart, which this time appears not to be (though domesticly it almost always seems to be when I've flown). Really I have it narrowed to BDL and HVN, and I would really like to fly out of HVN, but I am realistic this might not be the time to do it. Perhaps this should be more... "Should I fly United out of BDL and connect in IAD, or connect in PHL with US Airways?"
Thanks guys for your help...
