        Its kinda stupid... but it was the less stupid option for the money and flight time, but I fly west to Denver, then Chicago, then Rochester

        That is often how it works getting to Rochester.

          No Jet Blue from Atlanta.... 😞 United and American are the only 2 options. Now to decide where I have to change planes, because it must be a requirement that my check bag get lost on this trip... never once have I changed planes and not had my bag lost for a day or 2.

            Drive time from Buffalo or Syracuse is also about an hour.

            Of course you'd need to rent a car if you chose this route.

            If it were me, I'd almost certainly use Amtrak from either of those. Depends on the time of day, of course.

            What if you wanted to travel the area or were coming in early and wanted to hang around the falls or the wineries early?

              Orlando to Syracuse is pretty cheap with Jet Blue. You can get round trips flights for less than $300

                  We generally fly Allegiant but I think their closest hub is Elmira. We can generally fly for ~$140 round trip.

                    Awwww snap, just found the nonstop flights to Rochester. Maybe $30 more than changing planes (and sitting for 3 hours) in Newark, NJ (shudder).

                      So wear three pairs of clothing to cover you...

                      Three pants, three shirts, three pairs of socks, three pair of underwear......

                      Sure you'll be warm for the travel but you can take it off when you get to the hotel.....

                      LOL

                        I have flown Allegiant before, but they fly out of Sanford which is about 40 extra miles round trip for me and then you have to get from Elmira to Syracuse or in this case Rochester so it really isn't any cheaper to fly to central NY.

                          wow,.. bad luck. I've had airlines lose my bag twice, and it was on the return flight so it wasn't that big of a deal.

                              I am generally a cheapskate, but when it comes to travel I want to get from point A to point B as quickly as possible. I wont spend $1k on a ticket either, but if I can get a non stop flight for $300-400 I would jump all over it.

                                They always find it, but it's a hassle. Non stop flights are easy peasy in that regard. Bag stays on the plane I'm on.

                                    Everybody hates it. But at least it is enormous and I get a nice, long walk to my plane. Pro tip: never take the little train that runs up the concourse. Takes just as long as walking, but it's hot, crowded, and smelly.

                                        I'd rent the car after the conference and round trip it and still use Amtrak to and from the distant airports in most cases.

                                            Keep in mind to rent a car for a day would be easy at the airport. Especially considering shuttle to/from hotel is free
