Planes, Trains, Automobiles
By Airplane
Ithaca:
Ithaca has a small airport that is served
primarily by US Airways. Fares to Ithaca
tend to be expensive, but are highly
variable, so sometimes a good deal can be
found. Rental cars are available at the
airport.
Syracuse:
More flights are available into Syracuse
airport, which is slightly more than an
hour's drive to Ithaca. From the airport, take
I-81 South to Exit 12. Follow signs for Route
281. Turn left on to Route 281. Continue
straight as Route 281 merges into Route 13.
Follow Route 13 to Ithaca - follow directions
to specific hotels below.
New York City:
Flights to New York City can be easier to
come by. Rental cars are available from
there, but there will be plenty of other people
traveling from New York City to Ithaca that
weekend. Email us if you would like us to put
you in touch with someone who can give you
a ride.
By Car:
From Washington, DC
Take the Beltway to I-270 North (Maryland
Exit 38 or 34). Take I-270 until it ends, and

Top as you pass through Gettysburg. Take
the exit for the Harrisburg Expressway
(Route 581) towards Hershey/Harrisburg.
Continue as this become I-83 North. Take
Exit 51B on to I-81 North. Stay on I-81 until
you are in New York State, then take Exit 8.

right at the end of the exit ramp, followed by
a left at the end of that road. Stay on 79 until
reaching Ithaca - follow directions to specific
hotels below.
From Rochester:
Take I-90 East to Exit 41 (Route 414). Make a
right, then the first left on to Route 318.

89. Follow Route 89 to Ithaca - follow

To Hotels:
Hilton Garden Inn:

becomes one-way, there will be a large ugly
parking garage on the right, which you may
park in for the hotel. The hotel is one block
past the garage.
From Rochester/Syracuse - Follow signs to
Route 79 East. After passing the Ithaca
Public Library on your right, stay left, and

right at Pine Tree Road - there will be a
flashing yellow signal. When this road ends,
make a right onto Route 366. Make a left at
the first 4-way intersection on to Caldwell

By Train:
Although Ithaca no longer sees regular

Running on semi-regular tri-weekly
schedules, coal trains travel directly through
downtown Ithaca on their way to the
Milliken power station farther up Cayuga
Lake. For more information on this option,
just ask.

Harry: You take someone to the airport, its
clearly the beginning of the relationship. That's
why I have never taken anyone to the airport
at the beginning of a relationship.
Sally: Why?
Harry: Because eventually things move on and
you don't take someone to the airport and I
never wanted anyone to say to me, How come
you never take me to the airport anymore?
