“fly into NY and then get a jet blue flight to buffalo, much cheaper this way. i would not purchase the meal plans - you don't need to, supermarket nearby and kitchen facilities. take a network card for your laptop computer/PC so that you can use internet in your room. take some things that are quintessentially english as they love them!” Read Review
