You could take a taxi from New York to Boston. That s about a 3.5 to 4.5 hour drive (more or less depending on traffic and your actual starting and ending points). Since you would have to pay the taxi for the return trip, the cost would be significant - my guess is $300-400, perhaps more. The major issue would be arranging for a taxi to make the trip -it s possible, but you would need to do something more than just flag down a taxi on the street outside your hotel in New York.The practical options are to fly or rail. Rail would take about 5.5 - 6 hours, but that could still be faster than flying considering the hassle getting to and from airports, the time required for security checks, claiming luggage, etc). There is a daily train that leaves Penn Station about 11:30 and gets into Boston s South Station about 4pm. You do need a reservation on the AMTRAK system, but there is much less hassle than with flying. I haven t checked the pricing, but my intuitive feeling is that the rail option would be far less expensive than taking a taxi..
You can take the train instead of driving or flying.You can take Amtrak s Acela Express or the Northeast Regional from Penn Station NYC to Boston s South Station. Once in Boston, you can take either a taxi or the subway (underground) to Logan Airport.Now the trip by inter-city train will take about 3.5 to 4 hours and the one way fare ranges from $62 on the Regional to $140 on the Acela Express. You can relax and do any work you want to catch up with, while traveling on a HST.I hope this information is very helpful.Good luck and happy holidaysNative New Yorker
Well the first of December was covered with snowSo was the Turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston So there goes your driving optionYour best bet is to take one of the 19 trains that Amtrak runs each dayAs others have mentioned flying the route would only marginally improve your door to door times
Take the train. between the the traffic and security at the airports, Amtrak is just as fast and drops you off in the middle of Downtown Boston. It s a three hour ride on Acela Express, vs 3-4 hours in the car (including food and bathroom breaks-also, trains don t get stuck in traffic).
I fancy a little flight to New York and then hopping down to Boston.You can come with me in my plane if you wish.I don t fly anymore because my health isn t the best but my pilot Gregor is one of the best there is.I could do with a break and some good company ! EDIT--It s a nice little baby similar to this one.http://privatejetcharter.com/private-jet��
