You cannot fly from New York to Scranton.  You can fly from Queens or Newark to Avoca.  And Continental's "1-hour" flight will take you a minimum of four hours mid-town to mid-town -- if the pilots are well-rested.

But cannot take a train or bus from NY to Scranton in less time, so Yes flying to Scranton does make sense. No accident or traffic delays on I-80 or train to Dover and drove from there in today's situation

Orbitz shows connecting flights to Newark via Philadelphia for $299 and up round trip, with trip times of 3 to 6 hours.  Continental gets $603 for nonstops which take about an hour.
