Traffic, not distance, decides how long Fairfield to ISP takes. These are typical times for the about 70 mi drive.
Take the New Haven Line from Fairfield to Grand Central, then the LIRR toward Ronkonkoma (usually changing at Jamaica) and a shuttle to the terminal — a long day.
By car it's one ride from your door: 1 hr 22 min – 1 hr 42 min to ISP. Islip's fares and lines can make the longer drive worth it — and with a car service the extra distance is just more time to sit back.
MacArthur has one terminal and mostly domestic flights. Your chauffeur waits right outside the terminal; with one terminal and a small curb, it's one of the easiest pickups around.
For the return, your chauffeur follows the flight, so a delay doesn't cost you anything — the free hour of waiting starts at landing. Islip guide →
