Fairfield University
to ISP Airport.

Fairfield University is on the north side of Fairfield, a short drive from I-95. Fairfield University's campus sits on a hill on the north side of Fairfield, with the Merritt Parkway and I-95 both a few minutes away.

First leg: down to I-95 or up to the Merritt Parkway, a few minutes from campus. The rest of the way to Islip: I-95 into the Bronx, across the Throgs Neck Bridge and east on the Long Island Expressway to Ronkonkoma. Expect about 88 mi and 1 hr 40 min – 2 hr 2 min on a normal day; the Long Island Expressway is where the time goes when traffic is heavy.

ISP ranks farthest of the six airports from Fairfield University; HPN is nearest at about 52 min. You get one fixed price for Fairfield University to ISP before you book, tolls included.

Break weeks fill up fast. If several friends from Fairfield University are flying out of ISP 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.

With short lines at ISP, a pickup at Fairfield University about 3 hr 30 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.

• Your flight number, so we can track it
• How many passengers and bags (sedan up to 3, SUV up to 6)
• Whether a parent should get the driver details too
• Where on campus to meet the car

Take the New Haven Line from Fairfield to Grand Central, then the LIRR toward Ronkonkoma (usually changing at Jamaica) and a shuttle to the terminal — a long day.

By car it's one ride from your door: 1 hr 40 min – 2 hr 2 min to ISP.
