Princeton University → LGA
door to door.

Tell us the residential college or building and your chauffeur meets you there. Visiting faculty, speakers and families fly in all year; we also pick up at the hotels near campus.

First leg: out Route 1 or Route 571 to the New Jersey Turnpike. The rest of the way to LaGuardia: the New Jersey Turnpike to the George Washington Bridge or the Lincoln Tunnel, then across to Queens. Expect about 67 mi and 1 hr 17 min – 1 hr 37 min on a normal day; the George Washington Bridge is where the time goes when traffic is heavy.

LaGuardia isn't the nearest airport to Princeton University — that's EWR, about 1 hr 18 min away — but it's often the one with the right flight. You get one fixed price for Princeton University to LGA before you book, tolls included.

Going home
for break?

Students heading home for break usually leave on the same one or two days, so pickups from Princeton University are tightly scheduled. Tell us the building or dorm, how many bags, and the flight number — we'll take care of the timing to LGA.

How early
to book the car.

LaGuardia flights are almost all domestic — that puts your Princeton University pickup about 3 hr 45 min before take-off.

Plan around the rush hours on the approach roads rather than the airport itself; LaGuardia's newer terminals move quickly. Flights before 8 AM are the easy case: roads are clear and the drive is closer to 1 hr 17 min.

Train, bus
or car?

Take NJ Transit Northeast Corridor from Princeton Junction to Penn Station, then the subway and a bus to LaGuardia — at least two changes.

Compare that with a car: one seat, your bags in the trunk, 1 hr 17 min – 1 hr 37 min to the curb. LaGuardia has no train at all, so for most people it's a car, a cab or the bus.
