Workers loading and unloading goods in airplanes parked in a row at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK Airport, JFK or Kennedy) in Queens, New York City, USA<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nBuilt in 1926, the Buffalo Niagara International Airport serves a surprisingly important role in travel between The United States and Canada. Not only is it heavily used to fly between the two countries, a surprisingly large number of Canadiens travel to Buffalo in order to use that airport. In fact, somewhere (depending on the year) between a third and a half of all travelers are coming from the other side of the US-Canada border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is the third busiest airport in New York state, having over 2.5 enplanements in 2019. It falls well behind the John F. Kennedy Airport and LaGuardia Airport. It only has two runways, however, so it is can be common to have delays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One consistent problem that is always looming is the weather. Buffalo gets yearly winter storms with some much worse than others. It is common to have snow storms cancel and delay many flights during the winter. The same is true across the state, and so it can be a huge struggle to try to find an alternative route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, I can speak from experience to say that it is a blessing to be able to have several other primary airports that aren’t too far away. The Rochester and Syracuse airports are only about 3 hours away from each other, and the Toronto Airport is also only roughly 60 miles away. If something goes wrong with the Buffalo Niagara airport, there are other options close by. The only problem is that often when a snow storm hits Buffalo, it probably is hitting Rochester and Toronto as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Overall, the Buffalo Niagara airport is a charming and reliable airport that offers a better experience than most others, in my opinion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trains<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Though not used as frequently, there is a train\/rail system that covers the entire state of New York and can be accessed in Buffalo. The system can take you pretty much anywhere in the state and can be used effectively in a pinch due to previously mentioned storms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There have been many times when people trying to fly into Buffalo, Rochester, or Syracuse have had their flights canceled and instead fly into New York City and take the train to their desired destinations. Beware, however, as the train from New York City to Buffalo will likely take around 8 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the end, thousands of people exclusively use the public transportation system of Buffalo, New York in order to navigate the city, and the trains and planes used to get to and from Buffalo to many other cities around the State and country are reliable and easy to use. As long as you remember all the public transportation systems have to deal with labor shortages and winter storms, you will not be dissatisfied with what is offered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
