Westchester Airport (HPN) Car Service to Manhattan and Connecticut
A compact airport on the New York–Connecticut line, favored by residents of Westchester and Fairfield County and by private aviation. Small terminal, short walks, and a very different pace from the city airports.

Terminal notes
A small airport with two sides
Westchester County Airport has a single passenger terminal for scheduled airline flights — compact enough that the walk from gate to curb takes minutes — and a separate, very active private aviation side, where several fixed-base operators (FBOs) handle business jets and charter flights.
For a private flight, the pickup point is the FBO your operator uses, not the passenger terminal. Share the FBO name with your request and we will plan the pickup there; many FBOs allow pre-arranged cars to meet passengers close to the aircraft, subject to their own procedures. See private aviation transfers for more on how we approach these journeys.

Route planning
Routes to Manhattan and Connecticut
The airport sits just off I-684, near its junction with the Hutchinson River Parkway, which becomes the Merritt Parkway at the Connecticut line. That makes it unusually well connected to the suburbs in every direction:
- To Manhattan: the Hutchinson River Parkway or I-684 to the Saw Mill or Bronx River Parkway, then the Henry Hudson Parkway or Major Deegan Expressway into the city.
- To Greenwich, Stamford and Fairfield County: a short drive east, via local roads, the Merritt Parkway or I-95.
- To northern Westchester: I-684 north for Armonk, Bedford and Katonah.
- To the Hudson Valley: I-287 west toward the Tappan Zee crossing (the Mario M. Cuomo Bridge) and beyond.
Note that the parkways carry only passenger cars — larger vans use the interstates — so routing for an Executive Sprinter can differ from that of a sedan or SUV. Your chauffeur plans accordingly.
Pickup and timing
Arrivals and departures at HPN
Arrivals at Westchester are typically quick: flights are domestic, the terminal is small, and baggage reaches the carousel without a long walk. We plan your pickup around your flight number, and the meeting point — inside the terminal or at the curb — is confirmed in your arrangement.
For departures, airlines generally still suggest arriving well ahead of a domestic flight, and TSA advises extra time at peak periods; the small terminal can get busy when several morning flights leave close together. From Manhattan, plan on the drive itself plus that buffer. For private flights, your operator will advise how early to arrive, and we time the pickup accordingly.
Choosing an airport
When Westchester is the better choice
For anyone living or staying north of the city — Westchester, Greenwich, Darien, or a weekend in the Hudson Valley — HPN can save a long drive through Queens or New Jersey. For Manhattan-based travelers it is worth considering when it offers a convenient flight, particularly to Florida and other popular domestic routes; otherwise LaGuardia is usually closer.
Well suited to
- Residents of Westchester and Fairfield County
- Private and charter flights
- Weekends in the Hudson Valley
- Travelers who prefer a smaller airport
