Typical drive times from Newtown to ISP by time of day.
There's no station in town — the nearest is Danbury on the Danbury Branch, so the train trip already starts with a drive. From Danbury, ride the Danbury Branch to Grand Central (changing at South Norwalk), then the LIRR toward Ronkonkoma (usually changing at Jamaica) and a shuttle to the terminal — a long day.
The car takes 1 hr 40 min – 2 hr and starts at your front door.
There's one terminal at MacArthur, so pickup and drop-off are simple. Your chauffeur waits right outside the terminal; with one terminal and a small curb, it's one of the easiest pickups around.
