I always preferred Hartford (I flew from Detroit). The shuttle ride to NH is about 45 minutes vs the 3-4 hours from NYC/Newark. A train from the NY/NJ airports is cheaper but takes a lot more effort. Unless the cost diff is monstrous, I’d recommend Bradley.

I’ve heard that NH/Tweed airport sometimes has good connections. When booking, it’s worth checking that option too. That’s a cheap taxi to campus.

If parents are visiting, renting a car from BDL is a good option. Use the package deals from the airlines’ own websites. Great combo deals can be had (the last time I was at Yale for about a week, my rental car cost only $120).
