An overnight trip on a ferry is an alternative to a five hour flight?

A five hour flight?


Yes, unless you want to pay through the nose for a non-stop. Most go
to NYC with a layover

AirCanada offers round-trip service to Boston with no stops. 2-1/2
hours. Flying is a hassle, because of security and because of the
passengers are crap attitude of the airlines. If there were an overnight
ferry, I'd consider it.

My in-laws come up here on an overnight train from NE Florida. 12-hour
trip. They like it. Includes dinner and a sleeper compartment. No
airport/airline bull****.

**** the airlines.
