Which airport around Niagara Falls is the best for flying into and out from the San Francisco area?

Question

I know of three different airports, Toronto, Canada; Buffalo, N.Y.; and a local airport.

Answer 1

Buffalo is easiest

Answer 2

The Buffalo Niagara International Airport is the easiest http://www.buffaloairport.com/

Answer 3

It's a lot easier and cheaper to fly into Buffalo than Toronto. Direct flights from San Francisco to Toronto are expensive, so it's a lot cheaper to fly into Buffalo and it takes less time to get from the Buffalo airport to the falls than it does to get from Toronto to the falls. The local airport you're thinking of is Niagara Falls, NY regional airport but the only major airlines that fly in/out of that airport are flights to Myrtle Beach and Florida.

From the Buffalo airport you can take the Niagara Airbus or a taxi to Niagara Falls. If you're staying on the Canadian side, make sure you have photo ID such as a drivers license and proof of citizenship such as a birth certificate to cross the border into Niagara Falls, Ontario. You do not need a passport to enter Canada or return to the United States until 2009. If you decide to fly into Toronto, you will need a passport.
