An interesting "hack" I was thinking about today, and I priced it out online tonight and it seems to work out:

If you need to get from Montreal to Boston on the cheap, it looks like one way to do it is to take Amtrak's Adirondack train from Montreal to Plattsburgh, NY. Once in Plattsburgh (which looks like about a three hour ride), you wait a bit and then transfer to a turboprop Saab 340 and it's a one hour flight to Boston.

Both the airline and Amtrak are partially funded by the NY department of transportation, so tickets are very cheap. One way from Montreal to Plattsburgh is about $20, and the flight is about $60 online. It's around the same fare as a one-way bus ticket, but I think it's slightly faster even including the couple hour layover in Plattsburgh, and you're not spending fucking 8 hours on a bus.

Unfortunately the timing doesn't seem to work out in the other direction.

That's wasup. We should post more travel hacks for cheaper travel.

Here is one of my travel hacks. I fly into Atlanta a lot because I live there. Direct flights to Atlanta are pricey so I normally just book flights to Tampa or Orlando which is normally cheaper. These flights normally have layovers in Atlanta. So I just buy that ticket and just get off in Atlanta and miss the second flight.

Iam searching for a way to go regulary from Montréal to any closest american city, party and leave the same night , even if it is small. Plattsburgh is the closest but i dont have any idea about it.

So far,i dont have a car. Greyhound could be a solution. But searching for easier solution.
