It depends, I suppose, on how you define 'particularly near' and 
'major airport'.  I don't think that more than one or two of the 
dozen ECAC teams qualify.

Clarkson/St Lawrence - closest is Ottawa (YOW), about 70 miles
RPI/Union - Bradley (Hartford) (BAF), 80 miles*
Dartmouth - Logan (BOS), 130 miles; Burlington VT (BVT), 95 miles
Harvard - Logan (BOS) - not far
Brown -  Logan (BOS), about 60 miles; Providence (PVD) might be OK
Yale/QPac - Bradley (Hartford) (BAF), 50 miles; New York City (LGA or 
JFK), 80 miles
Princeton - Philadelphia (PHL), 55 miles
Colgate/Cornell - Newark (EWR), 200+ miles; Syracuse (SYR) might be 
possible (5-60 miles)

* Yes, we have an 'international' airport.  No, you can't get there 
from here.  Well, maybe - just checked Albany to Omaha for the first 
weekend of November.    Lowest price with 1 stop is $410/person.  The 
real hard luck cases are Dartmouth, Cornell and Colgate.
