Air Travel: A Landing in Schrute Country (with a Slight Detour)
Scranton itself doesn't boast its own international airport (yet, they're working on it, Michael promised). Fear not, intrepid traveler! There are a few nearby options:
- Scranton/Wilkes-Barre International Airport (AVP): This is the closest airport to Scranton, but be warned, flight options can be a bit limited.
- Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR): This bustling New Jersey airport offers more flights, but you'll need to factor in a bus or car ride to Scranton (about 2-3 hours).
Pro Tip: Pack a good book (or rewatch The Office) for the potential layover at Newark. Just try not to get mistaken for a volunteer dental hygienist.
QuickTip: Stop to think as you go.
Bus: Your Ticket to Schrute Farms (and Other Scranton Delights)
Looking for a budget-friendly option? Hop on a bus! Companies like Greyhound and FlixBus offer comfortable rides directly to Scranton, with some routes starting at a steal.
Word to the Wise: While riding a bus is an awesome way to meet interesting people, there's a very slim chance you'll encounter your Dwight Schrute soulmate. But hey, you never know!
Tip: Reread sections you didn’t fully grasp.
Road Trip!: Scranton Here We Come (With a Pitstop for Pretzels)
For the adventurous souls (and those who want to channel their inner Michael Scott), a road trip to Scranton might be the perfect choice. Rent a car, blast some classic rock, and don't forget to grab a bag (or ten) of Pennsylvania's famous pretzels. Just remember, unlike Michael, GPS is a good thing.
Road Trip Must-Do: Take a detour to Gettysburg for a mini-history lesson. (Just don't ask Dwight to be your tour guide... things might get weird.)
Tip: Let the key ideas stand out.
