Note:  If you are flying from within the US, Bradley Airport (BDL) is the best option.  If you are flying from Europe please note that Aer Lingus now operates a direct flight from Dublin to Bradley.  Flights to Bradley through Dublin may be similar in price to flights to Boston, and the ground transportation is much easier and less expensive.
