About Buffalo Airport 

As the second-largest city in New York, Buffalo has a lot to keep anyone busy while you are waiting for your flight. Located on the shores of Lake Erie by the Niagara River, the beauty of this bustling city will astound you. Whether you have a long layover or are just passing through, you don’t want to just sit around and be bored. And if you have your kids along, you are going to want something to occupy them while you wait. From malls to museums and parks to paintball, the city can keep you all busy for several hours or more. 

Just 10 miles from the busy city of Buffalo, the Buffalo Airport, also known as Buffalo Niagara International Airport, is in the town of Cheektowaga. It is a significant transportation hub where they have more than 100 flights per day. Opened in 1926, it started out as 318 acres with one lane, and now it has over 1,000 acres. And while you are there, you can get a haircut, your shoes shined, and peruse the shops for souvenirs. You may also want to enjoy a meal or snack at one of the half-dozen restaurants or have a drink at one of the many bars or lounges. The service is friendly, and it feels more like a large shopping mall than an airport. But don't stop there, venture into Buffalo to get a taste of this Lake Erie city.
