Airport Transportation
There are three area airports—Liberty Newark International, LaGuardia, and JFK International. Be sure to allow enough traveling time when heading to a NYC-area airport, as traffic in New York is always heavy. In rain, snow, or rush hour and during VIP visits to the city, traffic gets very tied up. A good rule of thumb is to depart Manhattan two hours before your flight check in time.
Train Transportation
Train transportation between Syracuse and New York is provided by Amtrak. Call (800) 872-7245 for schedules.
