Lived in the Lehigh Valley area for 22 years. LVIA is easy to fly in and out of and flights are less often delayed/cancelled than from PHL/EWR. Lafayette is around 20 mins drive from LVIA. My D2 studies in Atlanta. She “flies” into LVIA whenever possible as it is easier for her mom to pick her up from there instead of Philly or Newark. United has a bus service from EWR and the tickets are cheaper from ATL to/from ABE.
