We live 45 min from airport. We fly either jet blue or southwest. We prefer jet blue, great leg room and tv sets at each seat, and reserved seats. If your worried about the weather, we usually check long range forecast. If it looks like it may be stormy we book hotel room the night before, leave car there and they drive us to airport cost included in hotel fee. Without dinner included we paid 110 for the room that included leaving car and transportation to airport and back. As im typing this i cant remember name of hotel its an italian family name. They have restaurant too. Buffalo can handle the snow better than toronto. Plus once over there you have gone thru us customs. Most times we arrive about 1 hour to 2 hours ahead. Airport security is rarely busy there. Most times we just drive over the peace bridge leave car at airport they pick you up and your in the terminal very fast. It costs 57 dollars a week. We just did that last week.
