How much would you pay in tolls going from Philly to Boca Raton, FL and back via I-95?|136758

I_m looking for an overall amount or a breakdown of individual tolls if you were to travel on interstate 95 from Philadelphia, PA to Boca Raton, FL. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

  • Leaving Philly - $3 for the DE Turnpike and $2 for the tunnels in Baltimore unless you bypass the tunnels by taking I-695 West towards Pikesville. Once you rejoin I-95 South, there are no more tolls.

    Returning to Philly, no tolls and take I-695 North to avoid the tunnels in Baltimore. You could take Exit 32, US 1 North to avoid the $5 toll on I-95 at the Susquehanna River. Delaware also charges $3 toll 1 mile past the MD line.

    So, you_re looking at $5 toll to go south and possibly $10 toll to go north by sticking to I-95. Taking I-695 would reduce it to $3 and $8 respectively. Taking US1 would make it $0 in both directions.

    {EDIT} I-95 exits 48 or 45 will take you to Boca Raton; There_s no advantage to taking the Florida Turnpike.

  • Thank you very much and have a safe trip.





  • There aren_t any tolls on I-95. If you are starting out in Boca Raton and started off on the Turnpike, there would be tolls on the turnpike, but I-95 is free - that_s why there_s so much more traffic there.
  • What air lines are best for larger people?|146789

    I am look to travel and enjoy myself this summer. I am looking and trying to find out what air line would obe most comfortable if you are a larger person.

  • Any airline that has _first class_ but it won_t be cheap!.

  • I don_t know which airlines are best but I do have some suggestions as a fellow _larger_ person. I have found that some planes have larger seats now.

    Book early and try to get your seat assignment for an aisle seat. Try to get the emergency row if possible (more room).

    Try to fly when it is not busiest, you_ll most likely be able to have a seat between you and someone else or a whole row if possible. Get a seat belt extender from the flight attendant.

    Fly first class if you can - guaranteed bigger seats, or you could purchase 2 seats (which may in fact be cheaper than first class if done early enough). Make sure you read all of the rules (in case the flight is overbooked).

    Let the flight attendant know early that you_d like to move to a more comfortable seat if available.

    Good luck and enjoy your vacation.

  • My uncle is a pretty large guy and also has a handicap and he and my aunt always fly Ted. He says the seats are a little bigger and leg room is better. I_m a little heavy and just flew out on Southwest. There were no first class seats on our planes (I don_t believe Southwest has them) and their seats were pretty small. The plane was packed so we were packed in like sardines! Even my hubby, who_s average, felt pretty cramped, so I_d try to stay away from Southwest.

  • I agree with most of what the first poster said with regard to tips. My husband is a bigger guy and we suffered on our last 5 hour flight to Vegas...however, on the way home, we upgraded to Business Class and had a lot more room and were much happier.

    If possible, try using a smaller airline that may require you to take a connecting flight - typically, they_re less expensive than the big name airlines and will sometimes offer upgrades for little to nothing (we upgraded to BC for $80 each on the way home, but they offered it to Vegas for only $60 - we should have done that!!)

  • Good Luck getting out of Las Vegas. I and my family were in Vegas over New Year_s. WATCH OUT for Delta. They cancel flights....... We were stuck there for 3 days........

  • To be the most comfortable for you and other passengers either fly first class or book 2 coach seats.
  • Kentucky: What is the best town in central Kentucky in which to live?|146308

    Think of the Louisville-Lexington area, extending from Elizabethtown/Fort Knox to Mt. Sterling and Stanton, and from Dry Ridge to Mt. Vernon and Liberty.

  • Bloomfield: beautiful, quaint, tiny, but still right off the Bluegrass Parkway.

    Woodford County: this would include Versailles and Midway. Both towns are gorgeous and (mostly) clean, have just undergone downtown _makeovers_ through the KY renaissance program, and the farmland surrounding the towns is so beautiful. Full of history and character; however, Woodford just DOUBLED its property taxes at the start of _06.

    Lexington: rude people, nut drivers, but a gorgeous city! Also surrounding by stunning beauty.

    Frankfort: nice little town, kind of a scroungy redneck outpost, but it does have its nice parts. Has a very expansive and well-maintained park system for a town that small.

    Owen County: if you can_t stand city life, move there. There_s absolutely nothing!

    Nicholasville: a booming southern suburb of Lexington, with two large shopping _districts_ (not centers, they_re larger than that) currently under construction. Nice land, relatively low cost of living, and Lex. is a stone_s throw away.

    Danville: lovely town, home of Centre College. Can be a little snooty and high-handish if you encounter that type of people, but it is THE bargain of the central KY area. Great public schools, three colleges, a good police force, safe town, very clean, nice parks, two performing arts centers, and the mountains are only 30 min. away.

    Stay away from: Lawrenceburg!!!, Harrodsburg, Taylorsville, Shelbyville, Winchester, Richmond, Georgetown, Mt. Sterling
