Buffalo is the most dynamic city in the state of New York. In fact, the local Buffalo Niagara International airport is one of few International airports that serves commuters from two countries. Americans as well as Canadians use the airport services to get travel bargains. According to the US Transportation Bureau survey, Buffalo is considered one of the cheapest airports to fly from. The joint efforts of its mayor and public support have made attractive offers to Southwest Airlines and Jet Blue to provide low cost services to eastern United States.

Online consolidators such as Cheapfaresnow.com provide great rates on the most established airlines at Buffalo including US Airways, Southwest or Jet Blue. The intense competition with low cost carriers has promoted other airlines flying out of Buffalo to drastically reduce their rates. United, Continental, American and AirTran operate several non-stop flights to their respective destinations.

For travelers flying to the Canadian West Coast and areas around Seattle, it is sometimes cheaper to fly two legs with a stop at Buffalo. Such a journey will constitute booking the first leg to Buffalo and flying to the intended destination on a different carrier. If you have time, then it is better to search different journeys and routes to potentially save hundreds of dollars to reach your destination. If in southern Canada, then try to fly in the United States by crossing the land border and take a flight from Buffalo Niagara International Airport. Almost 25 percent of the passenger traffic is Canadian. The airport has direct shuttles to transport visitors across the border.
