Flights to Rochester for MangoCon 2016

I have flown with Delta 4 times now. 4 times they have either just plain cancelled my flight (no refund just a flight reschedule days later) or stranded me in an airport for HOURS because they have over booked a terminal.
I will NEVER fly with them again.
Maybe they only pull that shit in other cities. They own most of the ATL airport and a large chunk of the city, so they tend to behave here. Or I've been really lucky.

Delta also is the only airline that has a non stop flight to Rochester from here, and I'm not about having to change planes in some shit airport like Newark (where I have to haul ass and pray I make the next flight or I'm stuck for 3+ hours) for the same price as a non stop flight.

I've ONLY had them do that to me (and lots of other people) in Atlanta.

Flying sucks, period. I've been in one airport that didn't send me into a near murderous rage... Des Moines. It's tiny, and the people are nice (even the TSA).
-
It was actually Delta going ATL to Albany that left several of us at the gate.
-
I normally fly Southwest... but the SW flights were going to be a 12 hour day of traveling.
-
Trying to figure out my flight from here to SW, I hate looking for flights. Oh yeah @Dominica where are you when I need you?
-
I like LaGuardia airport. Melbourne (FL) is nice too because it is small.
-
It's 375 from Omaha to Rochester - I could save a few bucks by flying out of KC, but not worth it to me.

Hey everybody! I'm a little late to the party, but here to help and give advice on travel stuff, if you need it.
Tip #1: Check Farecompare.com to see good options out of your local airports, keeping in mind that you may have to do a few searches to check prices to Syracuse, Buffalo, and Rochester. Talk to me if you're having any trouble with it, I use it ALL THE TIME.
#2. Search the Jetblue and Southwest websites directly.
#3. Learn to pack carry-on only. You will be so very happy that you did! You can easily pack for a conference in a carry-on bag, especially a casual one like MangoCon.Tag me if you've got questions

Here are a couple of links to help you start thinking about packing light. MangoCon is casual, so keep that in mind when adapting these packing lists to suit your style.

The mention of September weather had me checking out the Bills' schedule.
Ooooh, a game vs. the Jets on that Thursday (the 15th) night.
Hmmm.....

There is a sports bar right around the corner from the hotel

How far is Buffalo? Seeing a Bills' game is on my bucket list.

Only about an hour. I think maybe an hour and a half to Bills Stadium (traffic more than anything).
