The Albany airport is about seven miles from Albany and the site of the first municipal airport in the United States. Glenn H. Curtiss made the first sustained air flight on May 29th, 1910 from Albany to New York. Charles Lindberg completed his flight in the Spirit of St. Louis on the field on July 27, 1927. In 1928, the mayor purchased the land from the Watervliet Shakers who helped build the country’s first municipal airport.

Ground transport links include buses, taxis, limousines, shuttle service to JFK and LaGuardia, rental cars and hotel shuttles from major hotels. ‘ShutterFly’ buses are a simple and rapid way to get from the airport to downtown Albany. ‘Trailways’ buses provide long distance bus service to cities such in New York, New Jersey and Montreal, Canada.

A five-storey parking garage provides 2,400 spaces for short-term and long-term parking. A heated bridge between the parking garage and the security checkpoint in the terminal is an impressive and welcome feat of engineering. Short-term parking is on the first floor and in front of the terminal. Garage parking on floors two to five are for anyone. In front of the terminal, there are long-term parking spaces.

Within the terminal itself are food and beverage services, gift shops, ATM machines, currency exchange stations, restrooms, televisions, Wi-Fi and High-speed Internet connections. There is no on-site accommodation; however, there are hotels within one mile of the airport. A hotel reservations center is near the baggage claim on the first floor.
