If you can get a direct, non-stop out of NY, go for it. If you check out the link below on another thread, you can read about the problems I am having with the flight we booked on AA out of BDL. BDL has no direct flights, and AA's connections through both MIA and SJU now have LONG layovers. If you can avoid BDL, you are better off.

As other posters indicate, Boston also offers non-stops, but I get the impression you are between BDL and NYC. Choose NYC so you can avoid the headaches I'm currently dealing with. Good luck!

As far as the airport goes, I agree it's pretty nice. We try to avoid traveling on the weekend because of the lines. Generally if we can, we fly mid-week -- and the airfares are cheaper, too.
