I recommend flying into Logan airport in Boston, then using Concord Coach to bus the rest of the way.<br />Bangor airport is small and charges a premium, so its almost never an option for me.<br />You can save some money flying to Portland, and using Concord Coach from there for $20, it will get you to Bangor in 2.5 hours, you can watch a movie on the headphones, reclining seats, and enjoy wifi on the bus.<br />The best savings for me though is always to fly using Logan Airport, and taking Concord to Bangor directly from the airport for $40 and 4.5 hours. Logan is a major airport and flights are always cheapest. <br />I should add that the cost of the bus is cheaper than what it typically costs me in gas and tolls to drive to either Portland or Massachusetts. Roundtrip to Mass to visit friends runs me over $100 by car.<br />A recent example: I needed to get to Georgia, and was looking to by tickets on short notice. Bangor was over $500. Don't know why I bothered looking. Portland was $259, a savings over Bangor. However Boston had a flight for $129. That's the one I bought, and took the Concord Coach, and saved a good chunck of change.<br />Just thought I would share this insight, good luck!Ray Peck Jrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05937520278830058153noreply@blogger.com
