Buffalo Airport - March 13th - Parking and Hotel Troubles

[The House of Mouse]

Just planned a last minute trip, apparently everyone else is also flying out of Buffalo on the 14th because there aren't many hotels available for park and fly.

Our flight is at 5:45 am. Only two hotels availabe with shuttles at 4 (Millenium) and 4:30 (Rodeway). Do you think we would have enough time? On a normal morning I say yes, but on the start of March Break I don't know?!

Do you think we are better to just stay at a hotel and then drive ourselves to the airport? This is me being a pessimist, but if all the hotels are booked up is it possible that the parking lot at the airport could be full too?

Thanks for your input.

Leaving the Millenium @ 4 will give you plenty of time.

You could always take a taxi, and I am sure it would not cost that much. You can always check the Buffalo airport website to check if the parking lots are full before you leave the hotel, and if it is full take the taxi.

Did you try the Marriott - it's a bit further away but it is free parking for up to 2 weeks and they will shuttle you to the airport.

I agree - we have done this.

Leaving the hotel at 4am is plenty of time for your 5:45am flight because most airlines don't open until 4:30am. We found this out last year. It sounds by the time, that your flying with Jetblue?? We are doing the same flight but on the 10th. We are staying at one of the hotels across the street from the airport and there taking us at 4am again like last year.
