Plus, Norwegian Air is making it easier for New Yorkers to get upstate. The airline, in conjunction with airport, is partnering up with Coach USA to offer travelers the Stewart Airport Express. The $20 bus trip is timed to the Norwegians’ flight schedule and leaves from Port Authority, turning the upstate airport into a very viable option for New Yorkers. You gotta love the amount of airports in our state.
