Getting from Buffalo Airport (BUF) to Lockport takes about 25 min by car on an empty road (25–35 min in heavy traffic) over 28 km via NY 78. Our private transfer costs $95 for a car with 1–3 passengers or $140 for a van with 4–8 — the vehicle price you see is the price you pay at booking.
On arrival: The driver waits in the official meet and greet area with a sign showing your name: on the Upper Level of the East Terminal if you fly Delta, JetBlue, Southwest or United, or on the Lower Level of the West Terminal if you fly American or Frontier. If the flight is late, the driver adjusts to the real landing time; 60 minutes of waiting are included and help with the luggage is part of the service.
Lockport is the seat of Niagara County, a small city that grew up around the locks of the Erie Canal, roughly 27 km north of the airport. The drive is simple: Transit Road (NY 78) runs almost straight north from the airport area through Amherst and the countryside of Niagara County into the centre of Lockport. The road passes long strips of shopping plazas in Amherst, where traffic lights slow the trip at rush hour, and becomes quieter north of the county line.
The heart of Lockport is the Erie Canal crossing in the city centre, where the historic Flight of Five locks stand beside the two modern locks of the canal. Canal Street and the area around the locks have walkways, a canal museum and boat tour docks, and the Lockport Cave tour runs through a tunnel carved under the city. Main Street with its shops crosses the canal on a wide bridge, and most visitor spots are within walking distance of each other.
Public transport instead: NFTA-Metro bus 24 Genesee (24L limited-stop trips on weekdays) from Buffalo Niagara International Airport to Downtown Buffalo, every 20-30 minutes all day (24); 24L weekdays only. NFTA-Metro bus 44 Lockport from University Metro Rail Station to Locust and Main, Lockport, several trips a day on weekdays, 2 changes. There is no direct public transport from the airport to Lockport; the bus route 44 to Lockport starts at University Metro Rail Station, so the trip needs route 24 to downtown Buffalo, the Metro Rail line to University station and route 44.
