    I had to laugh when I saw this story on the news- they were talking about how the Niagara Falls flight will bring more snowbirds to the area.

    I thought snowbirds drove here in their cars- because they are here for the winter, not just a weekend. I have yet to talk to a snowbird that actually flew here!

    Very exciting for me, Niagara Falls is not far from my parents. This will be the cheapest way for me to fly home for a quick visit!!

    Is there a casino in Niagara Falls?

    I was up there in September; yes they have a very big casino/hotel near the falls...and a few over in Canada.

    This is a great opportunity for anyone who has Niagara Falls on their Bucket List.

    I figured since Vision started as casino charters.

    Would Niagara Falls be a good place to start and end a car tour of New England?

    I grew up just two hours south of the Falls! Perhaps a trip to explore the old stomping grounds is in order...

    The snowbirds want the flights so that their friends and family can come down for week to visit them while they are here for the winter. The friends can catch a ride in the snowbirds' car while they are here and we will all have to adjust our speed accordingly while they are out sightseeing.

    Scooty, I'm with you--I've never been to the Falls, but would LOVE to go! Methinks this may be another excellent field trip opportunity...

    ...and if they drive across the border from Canada to fly out of Niagra Falls, they get to skip customs when they land in PCB.

    You mean waiting for customs to drive over from the port?

    ...how much time have ya got?

    I wouldn't recommend it if you've only got a week...2-3 weeks minimum from there and back. I spent 10 days just doing Maine and felt like 2 weeks would have been better.

    For a week, I'd recommend a couple of days on US side of falls doing the Finger Lake region; and a couple days in Canada. My NUMBER ONE recommendation of things to do on U.S. side of falls is this!
