All flights to Albany, NY that you take ends with…more transportation to get to where you need to go. Many hotels close to the airport offer free shuttle services to and from ALB. And if you're staying downtown, you can rent a car from one of the rental companies near the luggage claim area. The Capital District Transportation Authority (CDTA) offers bus services to the city via route 737; the bus typically runs from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., but note that stops are infrequent for both (every 20 to 30 minutes in the morning and every hour or more later). Also, it's nice to know the airport is only 7 miles from the city, so if your Albany flights arrive early or late or you don't want to wait for the bus, you can hail a cab at an affordable price. Booking a limo is also an option.

- Albany County Hockey Facility – While you could stretch your legs after your long flight on the trails at Vischer Ferry, why not put your body on ice, instead. Right next to the airport, the Albany County Hockey Facility has open-rink ice skating multiple times a week. We don’t recommend trying a Double Salchow without a proper warmup, though.
