Connecticut - Getting to Airports

[SalandJeff]

We are in New Haven County in CT, and going to DL this year

I think we are going to have to fly out of JFK, Laguardia or Newark.

Does anyone have any suggestions on getting to/from those airports from CT at a reasonable price. I don't want to drive and leave our car.

When we have flown from NY in past, we always had someone drive us. We usually fly to MCO from Hartford or White Plains which are easy peasy.

Hi,

It's hard to know what you mean by "reasonable price," but I'd say the least expensive way for you to get there would be to take Metro North to Grand Central, and then the airport bus from 41st and Lexington to any of the three airports.

That will also take quite a bit of time as you might imagine....

I'm only familiar with JFK and LGA, but I would strongly suggest you reconsider driving.

It is so much easier to park at the airport. the offsite lots drop off and pick up right at the terminal. It is usually under $15 a day at JFK and a few dollars more at LGA.

Car services are very expensive and taking the train seems like a lot of time and effort.

You can aways take metro north train then transfer to the m60 or you might want to look into an airport shuttle ... You can look at go airport shuttle on line I hope this helps

Check out Connecticut Limo. DD used them to get to JFK from Waterbury area and had no problem and they weren't too expensive. Check their website for pickup spots in your area or you can drive to Bridgeport to their main lot and park there.

This is thoe link to JFK ground transportation, but the same companies should serve all three airports. Or you could go to the other airports' official websites. http://www.panynj.gov/airports/jfk-taxi-car-van-service.html

What about doing a park, stay, fly at a nearby hotel? We have used http://www.buyreservations.com/. The rates are usually pretty reasonable and it allowed us to catch an earlier flight.

Thanks for all these great suggestions. I'm going to research all of them and see what will work best for us.

Don't sell yourself short on BDL. I live within 10 miles of EWR and chose to fly from BDL because of the huge difference in $$$$. Even with a 2 hour drive I still save quite a bit. For my dates all 3 local airports plus PHL and others I was priced out. BDL gave me the only affordable options

Keep checking the prices out of HPN and BDL, sometimes you can snag a really cheap flight.

I've used the Ct Limo shuttle service many times. Depending on the makeup of your party it can cost a lot less than a private limo or towncar service, if your ok with the schedule. Check out the fares for children and companions.
