You can drive from Fredericton to the Boston area in 6.5 hours if you really push it. Downtown add, 30-90 minutes depending on time of day.
The drive makes sense if you are in fact destined for Boston. Many folks from SJ (same driving time) and Fredericton drive to Bangor to fly to Florida, etc..
The Bangor airport is MAJOR(the only) competition to the SJ and Fredericton airports for anyone flying to the US. The Halifax airport is great for folks headed to Europe. I often connect through Halifax coming back from Europe, although I am not a fan of the timing of the red eye to LHR from Halifax.
If NB had a decent airport we could feed off of Stanfield nicely, but a central airport will take a lot of folks to realize that the current situation is not sufficient and that will probably never happen.
