Westport, CT
to TEB Airport.

Westport sits on Long Island Sound between Norwalk and Fairfield, with Metro-North stations at Saugatuck and Greens Farms. Westport homes in Coleytown and the north end are closer to the Merritt Parkway, which is often the smoother way toward New York.

The drive to TEB starts onto I-95 near Saugatuck or the Merritt Parkway at Exit 41 or 42; after that it's I-95 to the George Washington Bridge and a short run on I-95/I-80 in New Jersey, or I-287 over the Mario Cuomo Bridge. Expect about 62 mi and 1 hr 15 min – 1 hr 35 min on a normal day; the George Washington Bridge is where the time goes when traffic is heavy.

From Westport, HPN is the quickest airport (about 45 min) and TEB is the 5th closest. The fare from Westport is quoted up front with tolls included; put your address in the form above.

Flying private from Teterboro means going to an FBO instead of a terminal. Your charter operator or flight department will tell you which; give us the name and the tail number and we'll handle the rest from Westport.

Your chauffeur can drive right to the FBO entrance, so bags go straight from the car to the aircraft crew.

Private flights don't queue for security. Aim to reach the FBO 15–30 minutes before wheels-up — from Westport, a pickup about 2 hr ahead.

The crossing into New Jersey — the George Washington Bridge — is what we time the pickup around. On snowy days, holiday weekends and summer Fridays we'll suggest leaving earlier.

• The FBO and the tail number
• Number of people and suitcases, so we send the right car
• The building entrance, if it isn't obvious from the street
• Any extra stop on the way
