I've got 4 trips booked. I was a little late getting into it and so did it the easy way just to & from SEA -- didn't have much time to plan anything
Too bad I didn't realize that ART was so close to Ottawa or would have booked one for next January when I have to go there. Would have been nice to get 2 round-trips back to back on a weekend but couldn't. Since I'm in Vancouver, Canada, I did most of them on our holiday weekends going Sun-Mon - no saturday-sunday left that I could find. Not quite as good as my SEA-ORD-CLT-ORD-LAX & LAX-ORD-CLT-ORD-SEA trip last fall all on UA metal for a little more money (when I actually had to go SEA-LAX) but I'm not complaining.

I'm stuck in Watertown the following nights:
Sat. Nov. 5
Sat. Feb. 4
and
Jan. 13 to 16, 3 nights
The latter was suppose to be nested with a trip to Las Vegas, but in the few minutes it took to book this, that fare disappeared, so I am stuck in Watertown for 3 nights or have to eat this. What should I expect? 30 below and 200 inches of snow on the ground? Any way at all to make something worthwhile of this place in the dead of winter?
Reserved room at Econolodge for $40 - at least it appears to have a nice indoor pool and steakhouse and Cracker Barrel within walking distance (if i dont get frostbite).

Days Inn has an airport shuttle (per website)
I have an overnite in ART on 5/27 and just booked the Days Inn for $63.75. Their website says they have an airport shuttle. I am in Hamburg right now so I haven't called to confirm this. the Econo Lodge was $40 something but said it was full that nite. Figured taxi to and from would eat up most of the difference.
Just called the Days Inn and they do have a shuttle. It runs until 10pm but as the flight gets in at 10pm, they said to call and they would pick up any late arrivees.
Also, Just passing thru on:
5/16 (leaving SBA on 5/15)
5/24
5/26

Sackets Harbor is very close to the airport. The airport is actually west of Watertown. It's an important historical site relating to the War of 1812. In the summer it could be worth a cab ride if one is on a layover.

Is someone going to conslidate all of the information together? Now that this thread is getting longer that would be a great thing to do.

Hey everyone,
ART is my local airport as I currently live in Watertown, NY. Lots to do and see up here, if you have time I can show you all around. Alexandria Bay is beautiful this time of years and the boat tours are a must. Plenty to do in Syracuse as well. I missed out on the fare mess-up (still kicking myself about that!) but if anyone wants to see the town, maybe I can show you all the good places to eat, stay, and see.
Let me know!

This goes for all of you-let me know if and when you will be here, and hopefully I can work something out so that you won't be bored out of your mind! Trust me, there's lots to see and do!
