Question about buffalo airport?

[polyhm83]

We are flying out of Buffalo this September for the first time. Originally we were departing at 10:38 so we were going to stay in Buffalo the night before, now were are not flying out until 3:02 so I am thinking no need to stay. So
now I don't know what to do with the car, airport parking? off site parking?
any ideas. TIA

The on-site airport parking is great. You can get a coupon from the airport website that gets you a weeks parking for $38 incl. tax. The parking lot is right in front of the terminal and the shuttles are quick.

Back in February I went to Florida with my DD7 and when we arrived at the BUF parking lot I was crawling through the lot trying to find a spot when one of the lot employees drove up beside me, asked if I was lookng for a spot and then said to follow him. He drove me straight to an available spot and then he said he would call the shuttle for me. The shuttle arrived before I was even out of the car. I told the driver I wasn't ready and that he could go ahead. He said "no I'll wait for you". It took me about 5minutes to get myself organized. When I got on the bus I thanked the driver and his reply was "No trouble at all. It's cold out I didn't want you to have to wait outside."

When arriving back at BUF the following week(the temp. was about -20 C) the shuttle driver dropped everyone on the bus right at their car.

I challenge anyone to have that experience at YYZ.

Thank-you for the info, I will give the airport parking a try. I tried to look for a coupon but couldn't find one. I will look again later, but we are only going for 4 nights so the price won't be bad anyways.

We always use Sunpark www.sunpark.com it's right across the street and they always have coupons on their website.

The coupon also has a day rate of $8.25 incl. tax. You will pay which ever is the lower amount.

www.buffaloairport.com

click on real time parking availability
you will see the link to the coupon it says customer special
you must input a zip code--it will take a postal code

I have also used sunpark and it is only across the street but I found the shuttle service a bit slower. There really aren't any differences, just location.

Thanks from me too. We were originally going to fly from Detroit but with the prices for Buffalo going down we were able to change our flight for Buffalo instead. We don't leave until late evening so will not need a hotel either.
Originally we were going to leave on the 22nd in the am but we added another day to the trip with free dining for only $93, which is less than the cost of the plan if we were paying, so it was a no brainer.
We've done Sunpark twice and had no problems but may try the airport this time. Interesting that the cost with the coupon is the same.
