Closest airports and other Portsmouth, NH Transportation Tips

'Mode': TO
Category: Airplane
Getting TO/AROUND: The closest commercial airports are either Logan Airport in Boston or Manchester airport (MHT) in New Hampshire. We flew on Southwest into Manchester, a small airport that is roughly an hour drive from Portsmouth. On my way back home to Chicago, it took roughly 5 minutes to check in and maybe another 5 minutes to go through security and walk to the gate. And of course my plane was delayed so I had a long wait at this tiny little airport!

Getting TO/AROUND: Since we were staying at the Motel 6, outside of the central zone, we found it necessary to have a car. We parked at a garage for both of the organized dinners, most of the street spots are metered and if you run over your time, a happy fellow in blue shorts and a lemon yellow polo shirt will stop by and write you a parking ticket, I suspect it won't make you feel any better if he is smiling at the time. I understand they are very serious about their parking tickets in Portsmouth.

Parking wasn't very expensive, I think it was $3-4 both times we parked.

We got a little lost the 1st time we went into downtown but the 2nd time, I asked for directions and it was much simpler than my Canucky copilot thought. He was pretty much fired after that...
