Ok, so I don't profess to have a head for business, but I don't see how flying past to New York to Boston, then flying from Boston to New York saves money. Those flights from Pittsburgh were always full, so it's not like they had to make a stop to pick up more passengers.

It's bad enough the TSA has made flying a chore. Now the airlines are making flying both a chore and an expense. I used to love to fly. Now, if the opportunity presents itself, I'd rather go by car.

Unless you are going suburb-to-suburb, driving from the city of Boston to the city of New York is not recommended. The I-95 corridor is absolutely horrendous.

So flying would still make sense, especially now that you can take Uber from the airport to mid-town Manhattan for a reasonable rate (as well as to Logan Airport from Boston).

Another alternative (gulp) is taking Amtrak. Even that is better than driving between New York and Boston.
