Your ride from Fairfield University
to JFK.

Thanksgiving, winter break and spring break are the busiest weeks for Fairfield University pickups — book as soon as you have your flight. Fairfield University students often split a car with friends flying out of the same airport; a Premium Black SUV takes up to 6 with luggage.

First leg: down to I-95 or up to the Merritt Parkway, a few minutes from campus. The rest of the way to JFK: I-95 or the Hutchinson River Parkway south into the Bronx, across the Whitestone or Throgs Neck Bridge, then the Van Wyck Expressway to the terminals. That's about 60 mi — 1 hr 12 min at the quiet hours, 1 hr 32 min when the Van Wyck Expressway is backed up.

JFK ranks 3rd closest of the six airports from Fairfield University; HPN is nearest at about 52 min. Most people pick JFK for nonstop and international routes. Enter your address for an instant all-inclusive quote; the price does not move with traffic.

Fairfield University to JFK
without a car.

Take the New Haven Line from Fairfield to Grand Central, then the LIRR from Grand Central Madison to Jamaica and the AirTrain to your terminal — three legs with luggage.

Compare that with a car: one seat, your bags in the trunk, 1 hr 12 min – 1 hr 32 min to the curb.

At JFK
and back to Fairfield University.

Delta flies from Terminal 4, JetBlue from Terminal 5 and American from Terminal 8; most foreign airlines use Terminals 1, 4 or 7 while JFK's new terminals are built.

For the return, your chauffeur follows the flight, so a delay doesn't cost you anything — the free hour of waiting starts at landing. JFK guide →

Can I book the ride from JFK back to Fairfield University?
Yes — add the return when you book or any time after. Your chauffeur watches the flight into JFK, so delays are covered.
Sedan or SUV — which one do I need?
Two people with two big suitcases fit a sedan. A family of four flying out of JFK, or anyone with golf clubs or skis, should book the SUV.

Usually 1 hr 12 min – 1 hr 32 min for the about 60 mi trip. Early mornings are closest to 1 hr 12 min; rush hours and holiday eves can run past 1 hr 32 min, mostly because of the Van Wyck Expressway.
Which JFK terminal will I be dropped at?
The one your airline uses — tell us the flight number when you book and your chauffeur goes straight to that terminal's departures level.
Do you pick up at Fairfield University for very early flights?
