BOS -> Norwich by limo?

I'm assuming you're talking Norwich, CT. If so, call Mohegan Sun Casino Tranportation Services at 1-888-320-4577. Tell them that you're mom wants to visit her sister in Norwich and the casino and ask what they recommend. Note that she may be better off flying into JFK than BOS.

Edited to add: Boston Coach (www.bostoncoach.com) quotes $345 + 18% service charge, plus tolls and a fuel surcharge.

Yikes. Thanks. That starts to make it less expensive for me to fly out with her and rent a car!

Too bad I don't have the vacation time to do that. :(

Non Stop options are BOS or JFK. There are less expensive bus and train options for ground transport if you are interested, but they may not be worth the hassle for your mom and friend. FC domestic is not that great period. However, the RJ segment will be short and it is probably the easiest way for them to get there.

Except the OP still would have to get his mom from wherever the RJ drops her -- presumably BDL or PVD -- to Norwich. Given that, I agree with the OP that he's better off sticking with a non-stop and then worrying about ground transportation from there.

I ramdomly checked flights for Sept 27, and DL has a connection through ATL that arrives in BDL @ 7:13 PM. This is on a 767/737. AA has connections through DFW that arrive in BDL @ either 5 PM or 11:10 PM. These are on a 757/737.

The flights to PVD do connect to an RJ - except for 1 on DL connecting in ATL that arrives PVD @ 8:20 PM on a 767/MD88.

Interesting... I rarely go into the New England forum, but I just walked in here today and when I saw Norwich in a subject I nearly did a #2 in my pants. :eek: And living in Seattle, I feel required to help! :D

OK, so that's basically where I grew up and where my parents live today. Norwich (if you've been there) is really just a blip on the map and it would be even smaller today if Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods aren't around.

I understand the concern of not having your mom needing to connect as well as her comfort level, but if we're taking the concern of getting her to Norwich after flying, it adds to the degree of difficulty in pulling this off. :(

The more and more I think about this I can't figure out anything cheaper from BOS to Norwich than the limo price quoted (besides having my mom or dad drive up to BOS ;)).

Getting a cab to the train station and going to New London or Mystic is an option, but you would, in a sense, be connecting and the comfort level would be lost on Amtrak. A bus would lose that same comfort for her. :(

The Mystic Coast & Country website has nothing specific. Neither does the Mohegan Sun nor Foxwoods.

Honestly birdstrike... I know you don't want to have her connect, but at the end it seems that the best option may be to fly to PVD or BDL and give your mom ample time to connect in ORD, ATL, DFW or SLC (which has new DL service to BDL). Then have your aunt drive the hour to pick her up. Otherwise, Logan to Norwich transport is going to be quite pricey.

Other ways to look at it (i.e. how this could possibly be a "better" option)...
*The drive from the airport (BDL or PVD) to Norwich would be an hour shorter than from Logan.
*It would definitely be cheaper.
*Maybe your mom would appreciate the "break" in flying that a layover would provide.

I hope that helps... some.
