Flying out of Buffalo

[twokids0204]

Forgive me for this, I know there is a sticky up there, but it is soooo many pages... :)

Parking? anyone have any problems long term (8 days)? Any advice where to park, cheapest, safest?

Flight is at 4:00pm on a Friday, what time should I leave the GTA taking into consideration Traffic, Border, Security, etc...?

Advice for kids that have never flown before, and may be nervous?

Park at the long term lots at the Airport. Since this is your first time, the last thing you want to do is to park too far away and stress to rush to the Airport. Here's a coupon: http://www.buffaloairport.com/parking_coupon.asp

If you were smack downtown, I'd leave 11:00 a.m.

Most important recommendation I can think of is to bring gum and candy for the kids for when their ears pop from the descent. Second are the games, books and DVDs so they don't drive you bonkers before you've even landed in Orlando.

Have a great trip!

I would also leave at 11 or before. You never know what its going to be like crossing into the U.S.,

The drive itself is just under 2 hours with no trafic and no wait at customes.

I tend to book a flight in the am and spend the night in buf so I don't leave anything to chance.

Just to avoid any unexpected delays... I am thinking of leaving around 8:00 or 9:00.

When I arrive, assuming everything is smooth, I may be there around 11:00 or 12:00 (rush hour getting out of T.O.), is there anything to do around or near the Buffalo airport?

so if my flight is 2 pm, then I would definitely need to leave at 9 am...:mad:
