Flying Into Youngstown...
I have to be in Youngstown OH in mid November. It seems that my options are to fly into either PIT or CLE & drive from either. Any recommendations as to which airport is better? Also, I will be flying UA...

It depends... CLE is a much easier airport to navigate through. Do you have to fly UA? Airtran has a growing presence at akron and it is actually a bit closer to youngstown

If you're going to the actual city of Youngstown, it looks like PIT is the best bet. 60 miles or so, all freeway, so if you drive like me, probably about a 45-50 minute drive.
CLE is about 75 miles away, so just a little bit further (all freeway).
CAK is about equidistant from PIT (58.6 miles on the freeway), so time should be about equal from PIT as it is to CAK. For that reason alone, I'd choose PIT, just due to the greater availability of flights.
Plus, as a US Airways Club member, you'll have a club to use at PIT...
