Where do charter buses pick up and drop off passengers at Ithaca Tompkins International Airport (ITH)?

At Ithaca Tompkins International Airport, charter buses and minibuses load and unload passengers curbside along the main terminal loop on Brown Road, right outside the Ticketing and Baggage Claim doors. Because airport regulations prohibit curbside idling or unattended waiting, your driver will stage in an approved overflow area or the Short-Term lot until your entire group has collected their luggage and is ready to board together. After you reserve your bus online, a confirmation department calls you to verify your exact terminal pickup plan and flight schedule!

Can I book a same-day airport shuttle or a transfer to Syracuse or JFK?

Yes, last-minute plans and out-of-town airport runs are no problem at all! Because our website connects you with a massive statewide network of bus companies, you can find and book a same-day bus rental for unexpected flight cancellations or schedule a one-way transfer to Syracuse (SYR), Rochester (ROC), Newark (EWR), or JFK. Just enter your exact pickup and drop-off cities into the online quote tool to compare rates in seconds!

How much luggage can we bring on an Ithaca airport charter bus?

It depends on the vehicle size you choose from the network! Full-size 56-passenger charter buses feature massive underneath luggage bays that easily hold one large suitcase per passenger, plus overhead racks inside the cabin for carry-ons and backpacks. If you're traveling with a smaller group in a 15-passenger minibus, a 30-passenger minibus, or a sprinter van, you'll have rear storage space or overhead compartments ideal for lighter luggage. You can compare vehicle photos and storage details right on the search results page before you book!
