I am heading to Florida on Sunday and flying out of Buffalo.

anyone flown out of Buffalo before?

if so, is it easy to get to from the Queenston/Lewiston border crossing?

anyone have directions?

any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

great airport.

on a map, that bridge appears to be the easiest. from experience however, its dreadfully slow and often has wait times more than 30 minutes. i always take the peace bridge at fort erie/buffalo, but you may be ok on a sunday at queenston/lewiston.

I flew to Florida in December out of the Buff airport. It was a breeze. Best thing is that you don't have to deal with customs/duty at the airport at all since you're flying "domestic".

Being that it IS the March Break next week, you may want to think about crossing the border at Ft. Erie/Buffalo as opposed to Queenston/Lewiston. I always do that and it usually saves time. Reason being is that driving out of Toronto, the FIRST border crossing you come across is Q/L. So almost everyone crosses there and the lineups are atrocious (and March Break worse). It takes no longer to drive to Ft Erie and the lineups aren't nearly as bad. Same goes for when you return home. (also, fewer tolls and less State Troopers ).

Niagara Falls is a good border to cross too - no trucks allowed

the directions AD posted are the most efficient, based on my experience. you will need an extra $1 each way for Grand Island tolls.
