From Hempstead you'd take the LIRR to Ronkonkoma and a short shuttle to the terminal.
Compare that with a car: one seat, your bags in the trunk, 35 min – 50 min to the curb. 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.
Islip is a single-terminal airport with short lines. Your chauffeur waits right outside the terminal; with one terminal and a small curb, it's one of the easiest pickups around.
Coming home, the trip back to Hofstra University takes about the same time; we track your flight and the 1 hour of free waiting starts when you land. Islip guide →
