WARWICK, RI — T.F. Green Airport is in the running to be named USA Today's best small airport in the country. There is just over a week left to vote for the Rhode Island airport, which is currently in first place.
"Loyal fans of T.F. Green Airport in Rhode Island love it as an alternative to Boston Logan for its lack of crowds and lines and quick access to Providence and Boston via a dedicated train station," USA Today said. "It’s also an excellent option for travelers heading to Cape Cod."
T.F. Green is not the only New England airport in the top 10. New Hampshire's Manchester-Boston Regional Airport currently sits at number eight.
