<p>Its much cheaper for me to fly to syracuse and I just wanted to know, i'd be coming in Thurs Nov 1st in the evening. What is the best way to get to Ithaca from there? thanks</p>
<p>Airline limo. Will cost you around $55.</p>
<p>flying to syracuse is generally cheaper even if factoring in the "limo" cost. hancock is a much larger airport than ithaca-tompkins</p>
<p>Hmmm... and are the roads safe/reliable wintertime, esp. December time? Don't want to hijack this thread, but we're driving up from NYC in a 4X4 SUV, and we don't know if we're better off flying LGA-ITH on US Airways instead.</p>
<p>if the weather is too dangerous for a 4X4 SUV, you sure as hell wont be able to fly.</p>
<p>nope faulty assumption gomestar. I actually searched online, and Syracuse airport is The best snow plowed airport in the country. It usually closes less than 5 days per year. And my NY roommate tells me that the roads in Winter rarely close.. so the airline limo I need for this Winter Break will still be operating.</p>
<p>One time, returning from Syracuse airport, it was snowing so hard the signs were covered up. Every single traffic sign was covered up by snow. I ended up going on the wrong direction on 85 and it took an hour before I got back on 85 in the right direction.</p>
<p>I also saw a car spin out from the leftmost lane, across the entire highway, and end up around 50 feet off the highway in the snow. This was another time, also on 85 b/w Ithaca and Syracuse. </p>
<p>Fun times...</p>
