<p>dont forget that they charge like $20 for the first checked bag and $30? for the second (depending on airline)</p>
<p>also...taxi service in ithaca sucks...so expect to wait about an hour at the airport before being able to actually get to campus...and even then you'll probably ride with a couple other students (in the van)</p>
<p>He’s right. Taxi service sucks pretty badly here. 
I think there are only two companies, and one of them is currently closed for vacation.</p>
<p>oh just take the bus if you arrive Mon-Fri. Check the bus schedule tho.</p>
<p>Ughs… thanks for the heads up.</p>
<p>what airport do you even fly into? Syracuse?</p>
<p>Syracuse Hancock International Airport.</p>
<p>I know for United if you check in online 24 hours before your flight the check in baggage fee is cheaper than it would be at the airport.</p>
<p>i’m curious about this. So if you fly, then you just have to buy all the major things once you get there?</p>
<p>^Well I drove to campus for the initial move-in and then I flew for all subsequent trips to and from campus.</p>
<p>I’ve got a semi-related question. For any returning students flying into Ithaca (either directly or via conection), has your luggage ever been delayed? </p>
<p>Because the past 2 times I’ve flown, my checked luggage has arrived 1 day after I do. I can only assume that since I transfer at Philadelphia or LaGuardia, my luggage fails to make the transfer with me.</p>
<p>I always transfer in Charlotte or Philly and my baggage has never been delayed.</p>
<p>Well, living in California, I don’t think I’d want to make the drive :)</p>
<p>^Why not? Driving across the country can be fun. :)</p>
<p>Caillebotte-- my Cornell D just left for a semester abroad. She left from La Guardia and some of her luggage was lost. Maybe its La Guardia.</p>
