The question is Atlanta or Orlando?
I am just throwing it out there and any input is appreciated - sarcastic or sincere.
I used this forum last year and ended up in Doylestown, PA and enjoyed it.
Thanks.

If you "enjoyed it" why would you leave for a lifetime of commuting?

BOS not easy but doable; at least you can drive or train it if you have to and there are multiple carriers serving it. As stated above, a ton of senior commuters.
I did Greyhound once. Living the dream. Seriously though Boston can be a breeze one week and a disaster the next. Keep an eye out for college breaks. LGA and shuttle is there when really in a pinch. At least the Q400's are gone, that was an epic fail.

I will be in that commute starting here in a few weeks. I have been told it's horrible , having been flying for Jetblue for the last 4 years. I commonly flew TPA-EWR, and we always have United guys coming with us that say if it wasn't for jetblue they would never get to work, problem is jetblue currently only has 2 flights a day. Not too much to choose from , always can use LGA and JFK as back ups but man those airports aren't really close.

Been told Orlando is easier cause of the amount of flights
