Norwalk, CT
to ISP Airport.

Silvermine, in north Norwalk, is quiet and wooded, closer to the Merritt Parkway than to I-95. Norwalk is where I-95, Route 7 and the Merritt Parkway all come together, so the chauffeur can pick the fastest road at the moment you leave.

First leg: onto I-95 or Route 7, which both run through the city. The rest of the way to Islip: I-95 into the Bronx, across the Throgs Neck Bridge and east on the Long Island Expressway to Ronkonkoma. Expect about 70 mi and 1 hr 22 min – 1 hr 42 min on a normal day; the Long Island Expressway is where the time goes when traffic is heavy.

From Norwalk, HPN is the quickest airport (about 42 min) and ISP is the farthest. You get one fixed price for Norwalk to ISP before you book, tolls included.

All six airports from Norwalk, nearest first.

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

Islip's lines are short; the drive out on the Expressway is what needs the cushion. Flights before 8 AM are the easy case: roads are clear and the drive is closer to 1 hr 22 min.

Traffic, not distance, decides how long Norwalk to ISP takes. These are typical times for the about 70 mi drive.

Take the New Haven Line from South Norwalk 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.

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.

Book the return to Norwalk at the same time; the flight is tracked and waiting time starts only when you land. Islip guide →
