About the Elmira to Buffalo Airport trip
The Elmira Corning airport has a small schedule, so BUF is often the better option for nonstop flights. It's about 139 miles (224 km) from downtown Elmira to the BUF terminal.
We pick you up anywhere in Elmira, including Downtown Elmira, Elmira College, Horseheads or the Arnot Mall area in Big Flats. Your driver takes I-86 west to I-390 north and the Thruway west to Buffalo and drops you at departures. The driving alone is about 3 hours 5 minutes, so we work back from your flight to set the pickup time.

Route and timing
- I-86 and I-390 are rarely congested; we plan around winter weather and race weekends at Watkins Glen.
- In winter, we keep an eye on lake-effect snow bands and adjust the pickup time if the forecast calls for it.
- Holiday weekends bring heavier traffic on the interstates, so tell us if you're travelling on one.
