Your ride to JFK Airport from Sacred Heart University. Affordable car service from Sacred Heart University to JFK — Premium Black Sedan or Premium Black SUV, fixed price, tolls included, flight tracked.
Visiting parents and athletes' families often fly in for weekends at Sacred Heart; we pick up at the airport and drop off right on campus. The nearest train is Fairfield Metro, but with bags the car is far simpler than the train and two transfers.
First leg: onto the Merritt Parkway or Route 8 close to campus. The rest of the way to JFK: I-95 or the Hutchinson River Parkway south into the Bronx, across the Whitestone or Throgs Neck Bridge, then the Van Wyck Expressway to the terminals. Expect about 60 mi and 1 hr 12 min – 1 hr 32 min on a normal day; the Van Wyck Expressway is where the time goes when traffic is heavy.

Work back from the departure time: 3 hr 45 min for a domestic flight, 4 hr 45 min for an international one — that's the pickup time at Sacred Heart University.
Evening international departures make late afternoon the busiest time at JFK's security lines — plan a little extra if your flight leaves between 5 and 10 PM. Holiday weekends and Friday afternoons are when we add the most cushion on the Sacred Heart University route.
Break weeks fill up fast. If several friends from Sacred Heart University are flying out of JFK the same day, a Premium Black SUV takes up to 6 with bags. If the school changes the break dates or your flight moves, just tell us — changing the pickup time is free.
JFK is really several airports in one — check which terminal your airline uses before the day, and your chauffeur drives straight to that terminal's departures curb. For arrivals your chauffeur waits at the arrivals curb of your terminal; international passengers usually need 30–60 minutes after landing for passport control and bags, which is why we track the flight and count free waiting from the actual landing time.
For the return, your chauffeur follows the flight, so a delay doesn't cost you anything — the free hour of waiting starts at landing. JFK guide →

Compare that with a car: one seat, your bags in the trunk, 1 hr 12 min – 1 hr 32 min to the curb.
