Thanks for the info. Years ago, you couldn't check in before 3 hours prior to your flight. Glad to see it is changed.

Why not take the train from Albany to Penn Station (about 3 hours) and then the LIRR from Penn Station to the AirTrain Station (Sutphin Blvd/Archer Ave)? I would think that would be a lot more predictable than NYC traffic.
