airport transportation?

<p>I heard that from the Syracus Hancock International airport that there were shuttle vans during available during important student events such as orientation, fall break, thanksgiving, christmas, spring, etc....</p>

<p>Does anyone know how much they cost approximately?</p>

<p>prices tend to go up every year…i think i remember something like $110 round-trip?</p>

<p>call and figure it out. </p>

<p>they do run all day but only if they have customers.</p>

<p>

I don’t know which one you are referring to. However, there is this Ithaca Airline Limo (check: [Ithaca</a> Airline Limo](<a href=“http://www.ithacaairlinelimo.org/]Ithaca”>http://www.ithacaairlinelimo.org/)) which costs $80 for one way, and $110 for round trip. You would have to call them to make the reservation, etc. Also, you are only allowed to have 1 luggage, so if you are planning to bring a lot of stuff, you should let them know in advanced. For details, just check the website or call them.</p>

<p>the Student Assembly runs a shuttle during the peak times - spring break, winter break…you will get an e-mail from them during the school year.</p>

<p>If possible, fly directly into Ithaca. This will require making a connection at Laguardia, Philly, or Detroit but it’ll save you the HUGE hassle of trying to find expensive and infrequent transportation to and from Syracuse.</p>

<p>I’d highly recommend flying into Ithaca if at all possible.</p>

<p>I’d much rather have two flights and land in Ithaca than a direct flight to Rochester or Syracuse.</p>

<p>thanks for the info about the ithaca airline limo! I was actually thinking about flying to Syracuse since it’s $100 so cheaper than flying to Ithaca.</p>

<p>does anyone know anything about the student assembly running shuttles during peak times?</p>

<p>They usually would send out emails about it. Something that would look like this: [Cornell</a> University - Ticket Sales](<a href=“http://cornelltickets.universitytickets.com/user_pages/event.asp?id=280&cid=16]Cornell”>http://cornelltickets.universitytickets.com/user_pages/event.asp?id=280&cid=16)</p>

<p>About flying to Syracuse, and then continue to Ithaca: There is an even cheaper way of going to Ithaca. You can take the Trailways bus (check: <a href=“http://www.trailways.com/travel/individual-bus-tickets/northeast.asp[/url]”>Trailways - Best Prices on Bus Tickets and Charter Buses). However, this requires you to go from the airport to the bus/train station. So, don’t know if you are up for it. Also, the trailways costs $14 for one way. Their services are pretty good :slight_smile: Or, you can take Greyhound as well.</p>

<p>However, the easiest way is still flying to Ithaca just like what others have suggested.</p>

<p>for $100 cheaper go to Ithaca . the difference (for us) is frequently more.</p>

<p>many students will fly into syracuse b/c there are just not enough airplane seats to ithaca…</p>

<p>if you can fly into ithaca for $400 round trip…i’d say take it :)</p>

<p>How much are you guys paying for your fares? $400 seems very expensive. I fly from Chicago to Ithaca for $190 round trip.</p>

<p>that’s a great deal caillebotte…didnt know ithaca flew to chicago directly!</p>

<p>from houston i used to be able to do something like 300-400. closer to 400$ if i waited until the last minute.</p>

<p>^yeah it’s pretty nice. Delta/US Airways is the way to go. </p>

<p>It isn’t a direct flight though, there’s a stop for connection in either Detroit or Philadelphia for me.</p>

<p>SF Bay Area to Ithaca directly is $567. Sigh…</p>

<p>Are either of these links useful?</p>

<p>How are you guys getting direct flights? I’m from Phoenix and I can’t find a direct flight no matter the cost? I either have layovers in Philadelphia or Chicago…</p>

<p>

Why would you choose direct flight? It’s much cheaper to have layover somewhere.</p>

<p>It is literally impossible to have a non-stop flight from California or Pheonix to Ithaca because the facilities at ITH cannot physically accomodate the larger planes required for cross-country flights. ITH is a regional airport that services destinations only as far away as Detroit.</p>

<p>that’s what i thought but someone said they could fly direct from san francisco to ithaca. i can’t even fly direct to syracuse or rochester. bleh</p>

<p>If you fly into Rochester, are there any shuttles to campus? Frontier flies into Rochester and it seems to be much cheaper than Delta or US Airways.</p>
