I know this is far in advance, but for those of us on the West Coast that prefer to fly nonstop if at all possible (read: spoiled), would it be too far out of the way for a Tarrytown gathering to fly into Hartford, CT-- I think the airport is called Bradley Int'l-- instead of Stewart? (:::she asked hopefully:
Hartford is a little over 100 miles from Tarrytown. It would probably make more sense to fly in to Newark, as it is only 40 miles from Tarrytown and most major airlines fly direct in to Newark from LAX. Using American Airlines website, as of today, punching in dates of leaving LAX on June 24th and returning on June 28th 2004 a RT flight would cost $339.00.
I put these dates in assuming Jim might try and host the event in conjunction with the ann. of Dark Shadows first airing.June 27th, 1966, as he has be known to do in the past. Ideally, if you can get a decent airfare in to White Plaines, HPN is the place to fly in to. It is only 8 miles or so from T-Town.
American offers directs from here in Chicago to White Plaines (HPN), but I didn't see any directs from LAX on their site to either White Plaines or Hartford. I did notice it was also quite pricey to fly RT into White Plaines(HPN) or Hartford from LAX. Around $450.00!!
and this wasn't even direct,requiring layovers in Chicago Another option for the West Coasters is to fly in to one of the two other New York airports (LaGuardia or Kennedy) and take a shuttle to Tarrytown. ProfStokes did this on her recent trip from the Left Coast. She could probably offer up some words of wisdom. But I think of the three NYC Metro airports, Newark is probably the most economical if your ultimate destination is Tarrytown.
