<p>I flew to Boston once during the school year on a weekend out of Newport News on Airtran, I believe. It was an afternoon flight there and an evening flight back and it was around $130 roundtrip. Nonstop, comfortable, and convenient. So unless they’ve somehow discontinued service there, I’d say getting to and from Boston isn’t going to be much hassle for you.</p>
<p>There are cabs that go there, or if your son knows someone with a car it’s about a 15 minute drive.</p>
