Your ride to LaGuardia Airport from Stony Brook University. Door-to-door rides from Stony Brook University to LGA in a Premium Black Sedan or SUV. One fixed price, confirmed at booking.
Stony Brook has its own LIRR station on the Port Jefferson Branch, but the train to JFK or LaGuardia means changes and a long ride. From Stony Brook, Islip's MacArthur Airport is the closest — a short run down Nicolls Road.
Your chauffeur starts down Nicolls Road to the Long Island Expressway, then takes the Long Island Expressway or Northern State west to the Grand Central Parkway. Door to door it's about 45 mi, usually 55 min – 1 hr 12 min, and the place that decides your timing is the Long Island Expressway.
LaGuardia isn't the nearest airport to Stony Brook University — that's ISP, about 38 min away — but it's often the one with the right flight. You get one fixed price for Stony Brook University to LGA before you book, tolls included.
LaGuardia flights are almost all domestic — that puts your Stony Brook University pickup about 3 hr 15 min before take-off.

Students heading home for break usually leave on the same one or two days, so pickups from Stony Brook University are tightly scheduled. Tell us the building or dorm, how many bags, and the flight number — we'll take care of the timing to LGA.
Tell us the airline and your chauffeur goes straight to the right LaGuardia terminal — C for Delta, B for most others.
