This is why we need a massive upgrade to our passenger rail system in the northeast. We shouldn't even need to fly between Massachusetts and New York. It's such a hassle to fly and if we consider the door to door time of flying (how long it takes from when you leave your home to getting to your meeting), you're probably not even saving much time compared to driving directly to NYC or driving to the Metro North line in New Haven and hopping on that.
A train trip from Union Station to Grand Central Station on a high speed rail would be far more efficient than a flight from the edge of Worcester to an airport on the south coast of Queens that still requires a decent amount of travel just to get into Manhattan.

Yes this. Not that it was fast but the direct Worcester to NYC Amtrak was removed 15 years ago. We are going backwards :(
