Which airport would it be best to fly to for the CT game????

With a quick look at Google Maps I think Bradley International Airport would be the best choice.

Looking at those options, Boston is probably your best choices for being able to get a decently cheap ticket. I flew CID to BOS over labor day last year for about $300 a ticket. New York would be another option, but would be more of a hassle getting to UCONN from there.

A lot of those airports are either General Aviation (like Martha's Vineyward), or no bigger than the Des Moines Airport (Like Albany), so you'd have several connections, which drives up price and reduces your options.

I've been looking at BDL and those tickets actually look pretty cheap. $300 - $350 round trip from DSM.

I'll probably fly into Boston because we have a wedding that Saturday there. I'm hoping for an early game and a late wedding so I can make both!

I would agree. Boston is really easy to get in and out of plus they have more flights etc. Then Saturday after the game it has some good places to hang out etc. Plus 74 miles is a good drive just to get out and see/experience the area. Have fun.

Ill be flying into Washington (Reagan). I know it is a ways away, but that way my mother can pick me up (she lives about 1 hr. away) and it is a very easy airport to go in and out of. I have never had an issue flying into Reagan. Ill probably drive up that Saturday and make it there just in time to get a little Ames Iowa tailgating in, then off to watch what I hope is a BIG Cyclone road Victory.....

FYI, the game is in Hartford not Storrs.

Which airport would it be best to fly to for the CT game????

It looks like the Gridiron Club may be sponsoring a air trip to the Conn game if you are a member.....and every ISU football lover should be.

BDL (Bradley International Airport) is the nearest airport. Southwest flies to Bradley. I used to live 2 exits from BDL. Boston & Providence airports will be the next best bet especially if you want to travel around Boston.

Getting to Long Island (ISP) and other New York City airports is a hassle. There is more traffic and rental cars/hotels are also usually more expensive.

If you fly out of kc you can go to Hartford for 217 which isn't at all bad

I have some buddies going (may be going myself) and they're flying into Newark. One of our buddies from college lives up in Hudson, NY and he's going to come down and pick everyone up, and we'll drive to the game from his place (about 2 hrs to Hartford).

I was just going to bring this up. UCONN plays in East Hartford.

Also Bradley would be your best airport to fly into. Easy access in and out. I have flown from there serveral times as I have family just south of Hartford.
