Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Wife #2 and I found it easier and cheaper to park and fly out of BNIA when we went on cruises out of Miami Beach years ago. A lot of Canadians seem to do this. Always interesting to see the hardy ones returning in February, running from terminal to shuttle buses in their shorts, sandals, and cruise wear. BNIA does a fair amount of marketing touting the advantages of a Buffalo departure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time (2011 and 2012), yes, but we are close to the border. I do not know how current prices compare, but I do know BNIA continues to market vigorously to travellers from Canada. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tierlifer Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 I still don’t get the love for Orlando’s MCO. Not impressed in the least the times I’ve flown out of there. DTW is excellent. FLL is good too and even under a remodel it’s a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boater Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 When I use the airport, I'm in and out like a hot knife through butter. I'm a happy flyer. Now they're doing an $80mil remodel to "improve" access. Improve what?

teef Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 it's tiny, but the amount of money they've spent on the rochester airport is shocking. if the states grants them money, they find a way to spend it every time. how many years has construction gone on there? for two terminals?

Gray Beard Posted May 18, 2019 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted May 18, 2019 Share 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.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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?
