Sounds like you'd be near the State College area?

I flew with some guys who did that drive. SC-BWI. It was about 3 hours each way. But obviously the logistics of the central PA area pretty much make it a drive due to the frequency of any flights...

I値l be in Lancaster. 3.5 hours from JFK and 2.5 hour drive to EWR. Or I can take the train to Philly and catch a flight to Boston. Sitting in a train/ plane where I知 reading and watching movies sounds a little bit more enjoyable than driving 3.5 hours. However, I am usually wrong, so any input from commuters would be valuable

No brainer. Drive, especially if it痴 only to EWR & not JFK.

Bid EWR and try the drive for a while.
As a line holder at JFK, bidding one 3 or 4 day trip a week limited my driving commute and made it manageable. The drive is easy off peak hours (before 0600 and after 2100). Cross the Verrazano Bridge before 0600 or after 2100 and you are usually fine. Otherwise, you will battle NY and NJ traffic. Last day redeye returns suck, but the NJTP southbound traffic going home will be OK. Pick your poison.
The PHL-BOS commute (EMB190) used to be wide open, but I haven't checked loads lately.
If your car is at the airport, you'll NEVER miss your commute home...right?
