<p>just another idea to think about-<br>
from JFK-- fly into Syracuse (Jet Blue goes JFK/Syracuse direct) and then do airport limo service from Syracuse to Ithaca. It’s probably an hour to 1 1/2 trip from syracuse to ithaca. My daughter never did limo service from syracuse airport, but I do think it is available. Maybe someone on these boards can offer some info. </p>
<p>i also think the bus service to Port Authority or Grand Central and then bus to Ithaca is a workable approach. Much better than taking subway into Manhattan. The E train is always crowded and it is not going to be a relaxing ride at all.<br>
Good Luck!</p>
