From Yale University
to Islip.

Yale University is in downtown New Haven, a short drive from I-95, I-91 and New Haven's Union Station. Yale's campus is in downtown New Haven, around the New Haven Green, with I-95 and I-91 a few minutes away.

The drive to ISP starts onto I-95 or I-91 a few minutes from campus; after that it's I-95 south to the Throgs Neck Bridge and the Long Island Expressway east (the Bridgeport–Port Jefferson ferry is another option in summer). Expect about 112 mi and 2 hr 5 min – 2 hr 28 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 Yale University — that's HPN, about 1 hr 15 min away — but it's often the one with the right flight. The fare from Yale University is quoted up front with tolls included; put your address in the form above.

Break travel
from Yale University.

The days the dorms close for Thanksgiving, winter and spring breaks are the busiest of the year for Yale University pickups — every student needs a ride on the same morning. Book as soon as the flight is booked. A parent can make the booking and get the confirmation and driver details too.

How early
to book the car.

With short lines at ISP, a pickup at Yale University about 3 hr 45 min before take-off is normally enough.

Islip's lines are short; the drive out on the Expressway is what needs the cushion. On snowy days, holiday weekends and summer Fridays we'll suggest leaving earlier.
