Airport transportation to Buffalo Niagara Convention Center
The Buffalo Niagara Convention Center anchors downtown Buffalo, a short 10-mile, 15 to 25 minute ride from the airport, and it draws a steady flow of conference attendees, exhibitors, and corporate staff flying into BUF. Buffalo Shuttle plans airport transfers around the event schedule rather than a fixed pickup window, so you arrive when the agenda needs you there.
Downtown’s hotels sit within walking distance of the center, which means once we drop you off, most of your event is on foot. We coordinate the pickup around your flight and can arrange the return to BUF when the conference wraps.
Who this is for
Conference-timed transfers downtown
Exhibitors often arrive with materials and tight setup windows, and speakers with fixed session times. We plan around both, and for teams traveling together we can quote group transportation using two minivans for parties of up to 12. Tell us your arrival flights and event times and dispatch builds the schedule.
Getting around once we drop you off
Buffalo’s above-ground Metro Rail runs free along Main Street through the downtown core, stopping at Lafayette Square, Church, Seneca, and Canalside without a fare, which makes it an easy way to move between the convention center, downtown hotels, and the waterfront between sessions. We handle the airport leg; the free surface rail covers the rest of downtown once you are checked in.
