If arriving by air, most visitors to New Hampshire will fly into either Manchester or Boston. Manchester is only one hour from the Lakes Region, whereas Boston’s Logan airport is a solid two hour drive assuming no traffic. It’s typically a little bit cheaper to fly into Boston, but the savings for many may not be worth the extra aggravation.
