Buffalo Niagara International Airport
Buffalo Niagara International Airport (BUF)
Overview
Situated near the Canadian border, roughly halfway between New York City and Toronto, Buffalo Niagara International Airport (BUF) is the most convenient method of accessing one of North America's premier tourist attractions: the thundering Niagara Falls.
The romance of the biggest waterfall in North America has drawn sightseers and honeymooners for decades, attested to by the millions of passengers passing through the gates of Buffalo Niagara International Airport each year.
The airport is smaller by far than the behemoths found in Toronto and New York City, but it is also more basic. Thus, passengers will gain the convenience of shorter queues and cheaper flights at the expense of bells and whistles, like high quality restaurants and fancy shops.
For something to do while waiting for your flight, don't miss the pre-security art gallery called 'The Gallery - Where Buffalo Niagara shows off', which features rotating exhibitions of artworks made by local artists.
