Small airport, fast service and easy flights to New York City
Loved not taking off shoes and removing laptop... Made things less stressful feel just as safe
kim foxAugust 4, 2014Clean and bright. When I was there, unfortunately, they allowed the long lines at security even when there was no one in the TSA-Pre Check line.
Stefanie DeVargasSeptember 12, 2014Every is closed after 9 PM so be sure to munch before arriving if you have a late flight
This airport is the best, never a wait and they land/fly through anything.
Savvy MoDecember 31, 2013Apparently if you use lotion on your hands it's considered a strange substance. I was patted down bc of this...to me they seemed BORED. Well what else do u expect in buffalo?! Haha
Your bottle of water might be a bomb. Please throw it into the garbage can in the middle of this huge crowd of ppl.Love, The TSA
Pre check guys are pretty chill. Food court has some decent options as well.
Marco TimpanoJanuary 10, 2013Print off a coupon to get $1 off each day of parking if u are leaving your car in long- term parking.
Dr. AAugust 12, 2014Hotel shuttle stops aren't very well marked; call your hotel and they'll contact the driver with your whereabouts.
Free WiFi available if you complete a very short survey, or watch a video - after connecting to the network!
MilaFebruary 17, 2012Stay at the @Marriottintl if you have to stay near the airport. Very quiet and great #custserv #smbs12- Peter BinningtonMay 24, 2013Never fly to Toronto Pearson airport. Always fly to Buffalo airport and drive in if you are visiting Toronto. It's way cheaper and less hassle.
The Tim Hortons is behind that door that says "Restricted Access" because the staff don't want the passengers to use it. Check it out!
Teresa BlakeDecember 24, 2013Parking confusing. Go to long term parking. Big green sign says " preferred parking" follow that to get 2 hours or less free parking.
Make you you leave all your jewelery on BEFORE going through security. We don't mind waiting when you seem confused you have to take it all off.
Hope you get picked for TAA prescreen. Through in 5 min and didn't have to remove my shoes, belt, jacket. Just emptied my pockets. Like flying pre 9/11.
mc swiggansDecember 21, 2011Flight is delayed! But when you head to Manhattan check out Mcswiggans 393 2nd Ave...best drink deals in town!
Parking shuttles can be a nightmare in the mornings. Add at least 15 min if you're relying on these things. Better yet, skip the exorbitant parking fees all together and get dropped off
Ultressa DiamondFebruary 9, 2015YASSSSS! The plane from Detroit just landed! Boarding soon! #DeucesBLO it has been real... SNOWY!
Stephany VossAugust 5, 2014Have some wings at anchor bar before your flight. ..... even if it's not lunch time yet. :)
David BoettgerAugust 26, 2013There used to be a security lane that only uses a metal detector, but they're now using a full body scanner in all lanes
Probably the smallest international airport around..but it's efficient, lines are never long, and flights are always leaving. ps- stop by Anchor Bar!
There's no priority check-in or security lines, so come early and be prepared to wait in line with the ordinary people.
Daniel KivariAugust 22, 2013If you are here for an early flight, eat breakfast! None of the food courts are open and this $3 muffin from the kiosk is not up to the job.
Patricia TaborJanuary 7, 2011Pamper yourself with a chair massage by Cassandra Riley Marino. ..located across from the Anchor Bar inside the Buffalo Niagara Airport.
Don't pull curbside in departures or arrivals unless your party is outside. The traffic guards will tell you to go around.
Like flying out of here because of how small the airport is. Just two terminals, impossible to get lose, plus there's an anchor bar inside
Prince MySeptember 20, 2014Airport is unexpected small, and the security checking is so slow..can be more efficient please?
UlisseMay 26, 2013Southwest doesn't have kiosks for printing your boarding pass. You have to wait in the Full Service line! 😡
Jenn MaggioJanuary 19, 2014Pick up a box of fowlers sponge chocolate candies. Can only be found in Buffalo
