You may want to plan your visit to Buffalo for the summer

According to US News, the best time to visit Buffalo is between June and August due to the warm weather. Though it tends to get more crowded, high temperatures barely pass 80 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer.

Plus events like the Taste of Buffalo take place in the warmer season. 

However, if you're looking to save on your trip, consider booking it towards the end of the summer, right before fall. According to Champion Traveler, the cheapest time to take a vacation in Buffalo is early to mid-September. 

Unless you want to ski or snowboard, you may want to avoid Buffalo in the winter. According to Current Results, Buffalo is ranked the second snowiest city in the United States, with an annual snowfall of 94.7 inches.

Make sure to check Buffalo's weather well in advance, especially in the fall and winter. 

You can fly into the Buffalo Niagara International Airport 

Traveling to Upstate New York can be daunting. There are many ways to get there, like driving, taking an Amtrak to Depew Station, or even riding a Greyhound in. 

If you're traveling internationally, from the West Coast, or want to save time, your best bet could be flying into the Buffalo Niagara International Airport. You can even get a rapid COVID-19 test in the east section of baggage claim. 

According to its website, masks are mandatory and must be worn on metro buses, rail cars, and vans. The hours of operation for the airport's restaurants and shops are shifting due to current COVID-19 conditions. With that in mind, make sure to book your flight and accommodations in advance. 

Most importantly, monitor the New York State Department of Health website for updates on travel advisories.
