I haven't flown for over 10 years and we are flying out of Buffalo for the first time in a week. We will cross at Fort Erie, as that seems to be the best, easiest route from the Hamilton area.
I have been reading about the Skycap and was wondering if they have that at the Buffalo airport? If they do, can anyone tell me where it is and how exactly to use it? We will already have our Southwest boarding passes which I will print out at work on Friday.
Also, any other tips or information, such as what types of food services there are to grab some lunch would be appreciate. DD and I have several food allergies so that can be difficult for us.
TIA
The Skycap is available at Buffalo Airport,but to be honest the SWA desk is
about 20ft inside the front door and its a breeze checking in (if you already have your boarding passes printed off, you just approach the SWA desk and use one of the several touch screen monitors to weigh and check your luggage).Then in a few short minutes you are off to the Security checkpoint to go through to the departure lounge.
The food areas (at least some of them) ,are just outside Security although there are a few when you get through Security as well.
Here is a list of the food services available.
