Rye, NY
to ISP Airport.

Rye Playland and the beaches along Long Island Sound are on the east side of town, near Milton Point and Oakland Beach. Rye is where I-95 and I-287 meet, giving some of the most direct airport access in Westchester.

First leg: onto I-95 or I-287, which meet right in Rye. The rest of the way to Islip: the Hutchinson or I-95 to the Throgs Neck Bridge, then east on the Long Island Expressway. Expect about 57 mi and 1 hr 15 min – 2 hr 5 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 Rye — that's HPN, about 25 min away — but it's often the one with the right flight. Enter the address above for the fixed fare from Rye — tolls included.

With short lines at ISP, a pickup in Rye about 3 hr 30 min before take-off is normally enough.

Allow about 90 minutes at MacArthur — and extra on summer Fridays, when the Expressway is slowest. Tell us the flight number and we'll suggest the pickup time when we confirm.

Traffic, not distance, decides how long Rye to ISP takes. These are typical times for the about 57 mi drive.

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

The car takes 1 hr 15 min – 2 hr 5 min and starts at your front door. 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.

There's one terminal at MacArthur, so pickup and drop-off are simple.

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