Now they're doing an $80mil remodel to "improve" access. Improve what? Must be nice to have $80mil burning a whole in your pocket and fix things that aren't broken. Relax...it’s all the Canadian flyers paying for it. ?

Is there still a ferry service between Toronto and Rochester?

Sounds like textbook urban planning
BeginnersMind Posted May 18, 2019 Posted May 18, 2019 I love that airport. Best arrival to car time in the US.
Gray Beard Posted May 18, 2019 Posted May 18, 2019 I’m surprised that the Syracuse airport isn’t on any list. Is the Buffalo airport significantly bigger than the Syracuse airport? And the Syracuse airport just went through a major facelift, but they didn’t address parking, which is the Achilles Heel of all airports.
Chef Jim Posted May 18, 2019 Posted May 18, 2019 Interesting. Those three airports are three of the four I’m in the most. I live in Orange County so I fly out of John Wayne a lot. And Buffalo of course for obvious reasons and LV because I connect there a lot. I love the smaller airports because they are so easy to get dropped off and to your gate. The challenge is getting direct flights from there for long hauls. I’ve been flying from CA to BUFF for over 30 years and have NEVER had a direct flight. I flew in and out of ATL last week and it is the busiest airport in the world. What a ***** zoo to get into. Add to the fact they are doing construction (well it seems every airport in the world is always under construction) at the drop off for domestic and it was a major cluster eff! LV is great if you like to gamble (I don’t) because they have slot machines all over. On a related note. Airports are the best for day drinking. Well morning drinking actually. They are the only place you can get a drink at 6am and no one looks at you funny. As a matter of fact they look at you funny if you sit at the bar and have a coffee. They all are trained to ask you if you want a shot with your beer for $5. “Dude it’s 6am!! I’m not even supposed to be drinking a beer and you want to pour me a shot??? Get the fu.....ok ok. But just one.”

That’s why I love love love our Amex Platinum. Yes it’s pricey, but pretty much a lounge in any airport anywhere, and what We get in free drinks per year in the lounges more than pays for the card! Richmond nice airport as well, two weeks ago had some plans change. I live 25 minutes from airport, had a flight that left in 45 minutes if I could get there from home. In the car, drop at valet, No one in TSA LINE, made it by 10 minutes!
ExiledInIllinois Posted May 18, 2019 Posted May 18, 2019 Again... You want really charming. Fly in/out of Niagara Falls Airport (IAG). Spirit and Allegiant only flies to and from there to Florida.

In the car, drop at valet, No one in TSA LINE, made it by 10 minutes! Nope. Just checked. I’ve never seen a direct CA to BUFF from any airport. Here’s what you do regarding drinking at the airport and on the plane. Get a few of those mini booze bottles at the liquor store. They are allowed through TSA. Have a beer at the bar and suck a few of those down beforehand and while on the plane. Very cost effective. Regardless planes are one the cheapest places to drink. I think a beer is $6?
plenzmd1 Posted May 18, 2019 Posted May 18, 2019 @Chef Jim they must have stopped it. They definitely had one about 18 months again, had relatives take it out to Chargers game pretty sure. And dude I always have at least 6 airplane bottles of jack fire I don’t like takeoff, bumps, and landing... all times no booze cart available. Never fly without them!

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted May 18, 2019 Posted May 18, 2019 JetBlue just ran 3 red eyes this past week nonstop KLAX to KBUF, according to Flight Aware. Scrolling ahead to scheduled flights, I didn’t see a non stop again. 1

I live 15 minutes from my office where I park long term for free and then a 5 minute Uber drive to SNA and. 5 minute (sometimes less) TSA line.
