Travel to Ithaca

Ithaca is easy to reach by car and has ample parking in the Commons- many hotels provide free parking options as well. The nearest airport is the Ithaca Tompkins International Airport, located just a 15 minute drive from the Commons and 20 minutes from the venue. For more flight options, the Syracuse Hancock International Airport is another option located about an hour away. If you are traveling from New York City, <a href="https://fcs.cornell.edu/departments/transportation-delivery-services/campus-campus-bus-service" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Cornell's Campus to Campus</a> bus or <a href="https://www.coachusa.com/bus-schedules/ithaca-platinum" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Shortline</a> bus are great options. Both will drop you off on campus, so plan for a short Uber to your hotel from there.
