Your ride from Yale University
to LGA.

Yale University is in downtown New Haven, a short drive from I-95, I-91 and New Haven's Union Station. New Haven's Union Station is close to campus, but the train to an airport still means a long ride to Grand Central or Penn Station and more changes.

Your chauffeur starts onto I-95 or I-91 a few minutes from campus, then takes I-95 or Route 15 south through Fairfield County, onto the Hutchinson and over the Whitestone Bridge. Expect about 78 mi and 1 hr 30 min – 1 hr 50 min on a normal day; the Whitestone Bridge approach is where the time goes when traffic is heavy.

From Yale University, HPN is the quickest airport (about 1 hr 15 min) and LGA is the 2nd closest. You get one fixed price for Yale University to LGA before you book, tolls included.

How early
to book the car.

LaGuardia flights are almost all domestic — that puts your Yale University pickup about 4 hr before take-off.

Most LaGuardia flights are domestic — 2 hours at the airport is enough — but the Grand Central Parkway backs up at rush hour. If your flight leaves in the late afternoon, give the Whitestone Bridge approach extra room.

Booking for
a student?

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.

Landing at LGA?
Here's how pickup works.

LaGuardia has three terminals: C for Delta, B for most other airlines, and the smaller A.

Book the return to Yale University at the same time; the flight is tracked and waiting time starts only when you land. LaGuardia guide →

Can you get there
by train?

Take the New Haven Line from New Haven Union Station to Harlem–125th Street and take the M60 bus to the terminals — the bus is the only transit link to LaGuardia.

Compare that with a car: one seat, your bags in the trunk, 1 hr 30 min – 1 hr 50 min to the curb. LaGuardia has no train at all, so for most people it's a car, a cab or the bus.
