448.0. "Information on traveling to Newfoundland?" by BAGELS::SCARAMUZZO (Pete Scaramuzzo, LAN/CSSE Eng.) Thu May 30 1991 12:18

    Hello,
    
         I am looking for information about traveling to Newfoundland from
    the Boston area. I know I have 2 options land or sea. Can anybody give 
    me advice on what is the most economical/speediest route to take. I
    am planning on making a number of trips up there so that is why I am
    asking.
    
         I guess Air Canada would be my best bet? Also anybody know if I
    should fly out of Logan? Or would it be cheaper to flying out of New
    Hampshire or Maine? Any information that you all could provide would
    be appreciated...

    Oh, really?  I'm not sure how you get there overland, but I've been
    twice, the first trip going over to Port aux Basque from North Sydney
    and returning from Argentia, the second time North Sydney<->Argentia. 
    Argentia is the longer trip, but it makes sense if your destination is
    on the Avalon Peninsula.
    
    Were you wondering whether to go overland or by ferry to get to Nova
    Scotia?  One time we took the Portland to Yarmouth ferry, but you still
    have to drive all the way up Nova Scotia to Cape Breton.  It's good if
    you're leaving after work on a Friday night and can get a cabin on the
    ferry.  Either way it takes you about 1 1/2 to 2 days to get to North
    Sydney from Boston.
