An overnight trip on a ferry is an alternative to 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.

You mean this AirCanada? And this didn't just happen once...

I have other reasons, but I will not fly with them. Used to be
government and it still shows.

Agreed. I wonder when they say it is a safe way to travel, do they
factor in the hospital and clinic visits after being exposed to one of
the biological filthiest vehicles of transporation going short of a
waste removal truck?

Just ask a doctor what to watch for after being on a flight.

Did you ever figure in getting to the airport, checking baggage, being
at the gate 30 minutes minimum ahead of schedule, probable overbooking
therefore delay in offering passengers another flight, getting your
baggage at the other end, and on and on? That will make it 5 hours
easy.

Not for flajim...he's on the no fly list. After all, why would he need a
fly when he's got nothing to take out of it.
