Milford, CT
to ISP Airport.

The Connecticut Post mall area and the Route 1 corridor are close to the I-95 exits, which keeps the start of the trip quick. Milford's downtown is set around one of the longest town greens in New England, a few minutes from I-95.

Leaving Milford, the car heads onto I-95 in town, or Route 15 (the Wilbur Cross) to the north. From there to ISP it's I-95 into the Bronx, across the Throgs Neck Bridge and east on the Long Island Expressway to Ronkonkoma. Expect about 75 mi and 1 hr 28 min – 1 hr 48 min on a normal day; the Long Island Expressway is where the time goes when traffic is heavy.

Islip isn't the nearest airport to Milford — that's HPN, about 1 hr 5 min away — but it's often the one with the right flight. Enter the address above for the fixed fare from Milford — tolls included.

With short lines at ISP, a pickup in Milford about 3 hr 15 min before take-off is normally enough.

Islip's lines are short; the drive out on the Expressway is what needs the cushion. If your flight leaves in the late afternoon, give the Long Island Expressway extra room.

Take the New Haven Line from Milford to Grand Central, then the LIRR toward Ronkonkoma (usually changing at Jamaica) and a shuttle to the terminal — a long day.

Compare that with a car: one seat, your bags in the trunk, 1 hr 28 min – 1 hr 48 min to the curb.
