      I hate Atlanta airport. It is an absolute nightmare.

      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.

        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.

        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

        You, sir, have never seen how much I can sweat in shorts and flip flops.

          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?

          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.

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

            Normally cheap to Rochester, too.

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

                And others who have said it (@aaronstuder, I think) ... what is so awesome about Amtrak?

                  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.

                  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.

                  I had bags lost between Istanbul and Athens recently that caused me to miss a flight to Crete. What a mess.

                    One of my least favourite airports. Although if you are not flying Delta it isn't as bad.

                        One of the only choices from here. Unless you like sitting on the ground for an hour or more, or changing panes multiple times.

                          Those sound like far better options than Delta. Last time I flew Delta they just left with us at the gate. They had probably overbooked and so just closed the doors and left even though we had come from a connecting flight and were on time. I avoid them like the plague. Worst airlines I've ever dealt with. They may love to fly, but they hate passengers.

                            I've flown Delta 90% of the times I've flown, never had any issues. United, American, on the other hand.... like the airborne equivalent of a rusty 1981 corolla.

                              I have flown with Delta 4 times now. 4 times they have either just plain cancelled my flight (no refund just a flight reschedule days later) or stranded me in an airport for HOURS because they have over booked a terminal.

                              I will NEVER fly with them again.

                                Maybe they only pull that shit in other cities. They own most of the ATL airport and a large chunk of the city, so they tend to behave here. Or I've been really lucky.

                                    Delta also is the only airline that has a non stop flight to Rochester from here, and I'm not about having to change planes in some shit airport like Newark (where I have to haul ass and pray I make the next flight or I'm stuck for 3+ hours) for the same price as a non stop flight.

                                      I've ONLY had them do that to me (and lots of other people) in Atlanta.

                                        Flying sucks, period. I've been in one airport that didn't send me into a near murderous rage... Des Moines. It's tiny, and the people are nice (even the TSA).

                                          It was actually Delta going ATL to Albany that left several of us at the gate.

                                            I normally fly Southwest... but the SW flights were going to be a 12 hour day of traveling.
