Travel

The Wedding Website of Maggie Birnbaum and Andreas Tellman
Please see various travel options and suggestions for getting to Loon Lake and the surrounding areas below. We recommend that you stay in Saranac Lake if you are not planning on driving (we will provide transportation to and from the wedding from Saranac Lake). We do recommend you book your travel and accommodations as quickly as possible, as options are limited and fill up! Do not hesitate to reach out to Maggie or Andreas directly if you have questions -- we know it's a bit tricky but we can't wait to share this special place with you all!

Flight

Albany International Airport, Montréal International Airport, Burlington International Airport

There are a few options if you are flying: Albany International Airport is about 2 1/2 hours from Saranac Lake by car. A Trailways bus also leaves once a day in the late morning from Albany to Saranac Lake. Burlington International Airport is also about a 2 1/2-hour drive to Saranac Lake. However, please be aware that this route will require you to take a ferry across Lake Champlain and you will therefore be subject to the ferry timetable ( https://ferries.com/vt-ny-ferry-routes/grand-isle-vt-to-plattsburgh-ny/special-schedule-grand-isle-vt-plattsburgh-ny/) Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport is about 2 hours North of Loon Lake in Canada. If you're flying into Montreal please be prepared to cross the border! Please do not hesitate to let us know if you need guidance at any leg of your journey! We will do our best to connect guests traveling via similar routes and times!
