Have you thought of leaving your place at 6:30 and driving directly to the airport?Border crossing & traffic will be light at that time of day.
How far is your drive to Buffalo? If your flight is not until 10.55a.m you would not need to be at the airport until 9-9.30a.m.
We stayedat the Sleep Inn. Nothing fancy, but it included parking and a ride to the airport and back to the hotel when we returned. Staff were fantastic there too.
We have stayed at the quality inn across from the airport twice and found it to be clean and reasonable this trip however we have decieded to stay at the millenium has anyone got any info on it?
