About the Syracuse to Buffalo Airport trip
Getting from Syracuse to Buffalo Niagara International Airport means about 140 miles (226 km) of driving. Syracuse travellers sometimes choose BUF for a better connection, a nonstop that SYR doesn't have, or a flight that's simply more convenient.
Your driver meets you at home, a hotel or the office, whether that's Syracuse University and University Hill, Upstate Medical University, Liverpool and Clay or Fayetteville and Manlius, and takes the Thruway (I-90) west the whole way, past Rochester to Buffalo. Expect about 2 hours 50 minutes of driving; we time the pickup from your flight.
The Thruway connects Syracuse and Buffalo directly, so the trip is about three hours of highway.

Planned around your flight
We set the pickup from your departure time: drive time, a buffer and the airline's check-in window.

Route and timing
- It's almost all Thruway, so the drive is predictable; winter lake-effect snow is the main thing we watch.
- Holiday weekends bring heavier traffic on the interstates, so tell us if you're travelling on one.
- In winter, we keep an eye on lake-effect snow bands and adjust the pickup time if the forecast calls for it.
