Airlines~best deals in and out of Boston
Going in March, need advice as to how you get the best flight in and out of Boston. Checking in to make sure I'm not missing anything.
Heck, while I'm at it, what hotel/B&B could you suggest? Thanks. First thing that comes to your mind. (except a question...answers only)

yk~
Thanks for that! I've stayed at the Omni Parker House before. This time, I'd really like to stay in a B&B.
For the time you spent on Travelzoo. Thanks!
I am an airline employee, so I'll fly space available on JetBlue outbound, and bought a tkt on JB for the return. Essentially will be there for a full Saturday and Sunday. I'll keep checking in.

Hey Bostonians....do you have a suggestion for a great second-hand shop? I am in the market for used homemade afghans. I've been washing them, then donating to Humane Society and/DAV/homeless groups....please comment freely.

Gypsy - The J Jeffries is on the west side of Beacon Hill, next to the river. The Italian section usually refers to the "North End" which is all the way on the other side of downtown (although some of the best Italian restaurants are now elsewhere).
If you can get your browser to zoom in on this map http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/natio...boston_map.jpg you should see the layout pretty well. The J Jeffries is near Mass General Hospital (it was originally a nurses residence).
I have also stayed at the Newbury Guest House on Newbury Street - it's pretty central but a bit pricier. I loved the atmosphere and appointments, but sometimes the smell of Thai food in the elevator (several rooms are above a Thai restaurant) got to me.
For your purposes, I'd think the J Jeffries might work best, but of course I can't know what your tastes are.
