Your ride to JFK Airport from Kent School. Affordable car service from Kent School to JFK — Premium Black Sedan or Premium Black SUV, fixed price, tolls included, flight tracked.
Many Kent families are international, so JFK and Newark flights are common from Kent. Kent School sits beside the Housatonic River in Kent, in the Litchfield Hills near the New York line.
First leg: down Route 7 along the Housatonic, then across to Route 22 or I-84. The rest of the way to JFK: Route 22 and I-684 south through Westchester, the Hutchinson, the Whitestone Bridge and the Van Wyck. Door to door it's about 100 mi, usually 1 hr 52 min – 2 hr 12 min, and the place that decides your timing is the Van Wyck Expressway.
JFK isn't the nearest airport to Kent School — that's HPN, about 1 hr 15 min away — but it's often the one with the right flight. Most people pick JFK for nonstop and international routes. You'll see the fixed fare before you book — in a sedan or an SUV, tolls included.
Work back from the departure time: 4 hr 15 min for a domestic flight, 5 hr 15 min for an international one — that's the pickup time at Kent School.
Overseas flights from JFK close check-in about 60 minutes before departure, so don't trim the 3-hour cushion on an international trip. Flights before 8 AM are the easy case: roads are clear and the drive is closer to 1 hr 52 min.
Break weeks fill up fast. If several friends from Kent School are flying out of JFK 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.
Delta flies from Terminal 4, JetBlue from Terminal 5 and American from Terminal 8; most foreign airlines use Terminals 1, 4 or 7 while JFK's new terminals are built.
For the return, your chauffeur follows the flight, so a delay doesn't cost you anything — the free hour of waiting starts at landing. JFK guide →

There's no station in town — the nearest is Wassaic on the Harlem Line, so the train trip already starts with a drive. From Wassaic, ride the Harlem Line to Grand Central, then the LIRR from Grand Central Madison to Jamaica and the AirTrain to your terminal — three legs with luggage.
Compare that with a car: one seat, your bags in the trunk, 1 hr 52 min – 2 hr 12 min to the curb. If you're flying overseas, the car also saves you hauling large suitcases through Grand Central and onto the AirTrain.
