I lived in Delaware for five years (believe me, I was not so thrilled to make the move at first, but it is where I met my husband, so I look back fondly on my time there), and I can attest that there is indeed a tiny, small airport - the New Castle County Airport. There are certainly no international flights (I don't even know if there are flights to/from Boston), but fortunately the Philadelphia airport is an easy 25 minute drive from Wilmington, and BWI is very close to the southern parts of Delaware. If you are taking a trip there, let me know if you need any recs!
It's just funny... We were chatting here at work (since we work at a Travel site) about airports in the US. And someone mentioned that there is no airport (major one) in Delaware...
I could not understand how that was possible.. I mean, even Rhode Island has an airport... And it's the smallest state.
Poor little Delaware =) It's true that it often gets overlooked and lumped in with Pennsylvania and Maryland. Years ago in Dallas, TX I was chatting with a local and told her I was visiting from Delaware. She promptly asked me if that was out near El Paso! I don't think geography is taught the way it used to be =)

As a born and raised Delawarian (Dela-where?), I can tell you that it's only a 30 min drive from anywhere in northern DE to the Philadelphia airport. So, basically, you could get to the Philly airport from Delaware before a Manhattanite could get to LGA.
