"Sorry, 95 North heads east."

thanks for the correction

i told you it was confusing!

logically, its 95 south that heads due east!

"OP, look into booking jetblue, which may have cheap (er) flights JFK/BUF.
FYI, legacy carriers also fly this route; and, you can get miles."

but all the flites will require an overnite at JFK- its still better, imho, to fly direct HKG/YYZ

"If you do decide to drive late night, there will be little, if no traffic on the roads, so not to worry about 'crazy drivers'."

let's see- the cross bronx or the major deegan at midnite- those sure look like crazies to me-

and i see heavy traffic at all hours - construction delays too

certainly once you are north of the Tappan Zee at 2 am the roads will be empty except for our four-footed furry friends-

my brother-in-law just totaled a new minivan on the thruway while liquidizing a buck at 75mph
