After landing you walk from the plane across the tarmac. The New Haven airport terminal is tiny, almost as small as the Carrboro NC train station. The 737 aircraft surely had been bought used as it looked really worn inside. A flight attendant made it obvious it was a new airline as he had not even memorized the usual spiel about how to fasten your seat belt and verbally stumbled as he read from an I-Pad. The flight was painless and the weather clear, taking off from Raleigh/Durham airport on time at 8:30 AM and arriving New Haven just before 10:00 AM. I stood in line at RDU on a Sunday morning. I planned to return home on Amtrak, on which the folding bike needs no packing. Flying with the folding Bike Friday on the airplane, for this trip I eschewed my usual suitcase and used a cardboard box that I could throw away after landing. I had a general idea to bicycle north along the Connecticut River up into Massachusetts, before cycling back towards my brother Alex’s apartment in Brooklyn NY. It would be an easy way start bicycling in the cooler weather and interesting scenery of New England, a region I have always found exotic. They now fly nonstop from Raleigh/Durham to New Haven. There’s a new airline called Avelo with hubs in Burbank CA and New Haven CT.
