I recently received an invitation to attend a function in Syracuse, NY during Thanksgiving week. As we all know, traveling during Thanksgiving week is not always easy, and most flights coming in and out of SYR are quite expensive.

I did some research and found decent fares to ALB, BUF and ROC. Does anyone have any suggestion as which of the cities above would be a nice option for me as an alternative way to get to SYR?

Any suggestion for ground transportation to SYR from that airport as well?

Thanks!
