Travel to Ithaca

If you plan to fly here, there is a small airport in Ithaca, Ithaca Tompkins Regional Airport (ITH). Both conference hotels offer a complimentary 24-hour airport shuttle. Taxis are also available at the airport. In some cases it might be substantially cheaper and more convenient to fly to the Syracuse Airport (SYR). Rental cars are available at both ITH and SYR.

Other options, sometimes good, are the Greater Binghamton Aiport (BGM), which is about 1 hour away, and the Elmira Corning Regional Airport (ELM), which is about 45 minutes away.

Bus from New York City

There is a bus connection between New York City (Midtown Manhattan) and Cornell's Ithaca campus, by Cornell C2C Bus. It takes approximately 4 1/2 hours and makes two stops in New York, one at the Cornell Club (near 5th Ave. and 44th St.) and the other at the Weill Cornell Medical College (near York Ave. and 68th St.). The Cornell bus provides a business-class standard of service, with comfortable seats, complimentary coffee and snacks, and wireless internet access.

For those who prefer to drive, Ithaca is within driving distance from a number of metropolitan areas: New York City (about 5 hours); Boston (6 hours); Baltimore (6 hours); Montreal (7 hours); Philadelphia (5 hours); Toronto (5 hours).
