Flight Data
Flight-data disclaimer:
BUF Buffalo Airport Taxi® does not operate or control this flight-information system.
Flight information may update as airline and airport systems change. For cancellations,
gate changes, boarding issues, check-in deadlines or important travel decisions, verify
directly with your airline and Buffalo Niagara International Airport.
Reading Departure Status
What Does Your BUF Departure
Status Mean?
On Time
The flight is currently expected close to its published schedule. Continue following your airline's normal check-in and boarding requirements.
Delayed
The estimated departure moved later. Do not automatically reduce your airport-arrival margin without airline guidance.
Gate / Schedule Update
Follow the airline and airport displays for the latest gate or timing information after reaching BUF.
Cancelled
Contact the airline for rebooking or replacement-flight instructions before changing ground transportation.
A delayed departure does not automatically mean “leave for the airport later.”
Airline estimates can move again, and check-in or baggage deadlines may still apply. Use the airline's current instructions before changing your airport-arrival plan.

Before Leaving for the Airport
Four Things to Confirm Before
Your Ride to BUF
1
Check the latest departure status
Confirm the actual flight number and current status rather than relying only on the original itinerary.
2
Review the airline's check-in and baggage requirements
Check-in, bag-drop and boarding deadlines are airline-controlled and can vary by trip.
3
Account for the road trip
Traffic, weather and the distance from your hotel, home or other pickup location affect the ground-transportation schedule.
4
Add border uncertainty when returning from Canada
Canada-to-BUF travelers must complete the U.S. land-border crossing before airline check-in and security.
Return Transportation to BUF
Coming Back to Buffalo Airport from
Niagara Falls Canada or Ontario?
A Canada-to-BUF trip should be planned backward from the time you need to be at the airport—not
from the flight's scheduled departure alone. The road trip and U.S. border crossing occur before
airline check-in, baggage processing and security.
1 · Airline Requirement
Start with the airline's current airport-arrival, check-in, baggage and boarding requirements.
2 · BUF Terminal Time
Keep enough time for check-in or bag drop, the security checkpoint and getting to the gate.
3 · Road + Border Time
Work backward through the drive and an appropriate border buffer before selecting the pickup time.
No taxi company can guarantee border-processing time.
A tight Canada-to-BUF schedule creates risk because government inspection can change independently of the airline schedule.
Flight Changes
What If Your BUF Departure
Is Delayed or Cancelled?
Moderate Delay
Keep monitoring the airline. Do not assume the displayed delay permanently changes check-in or baggage requirements.
Major Schedule Change
If the airline materially changes the flight, contact dispatch with the Booking ID before changing the transportation plan.
Cancellation
Contact the airline first for rebooking, then update the ground-transportation reservation once the replacement itinerary is known.
Ground transportation follows the confirmed itinerary.
Flight tracking helps identify normal movement, but major airline changes should be communicated rather than assumed.
Airline & Airport Responsibilities
What the Flight Board Can—and
Cannot—Tell You
A live departure board is useful for schedule awareness, but it does not replace airline instructions.
Your airline controls ticketing, check-in, baggage acceptance, boarding and rebooking. Airport/TSA processes
control security screening.
Airline
Check-in, baggage cutoff, gate, boarding, rebooking and ticket-specific requirements.
Airport / TSA
Security checkpoint operations and airport terminal procedures.
Taxi Provider
Ground-transportation pickup, road routing and coordination based on the confirmed trip.
