Ways to Get to New Haven

New Haven, CT, home to one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in the United States, formerly the first step any Broadway musical had to take if it was to "make it," is not the home to a major airport. Because of this, getting here may pose some questions. To help, we have assembled some information about your various travel options.

Airports

Your first choice is a choice of airports. New Haven does have a small airport (Tweed), but it is often expensive to fly into. There are 4 other large airport possibilities. In order of increasing distance, they are:

a) Bradley International Airport (Hartford, CT./Springfield, MA) -- closest (about 50 minute drive), but not always the most inexpensive.
b) LaGuardia International Airport (New York, NY) -- Also very close (~1 hour drive, plus traffic), and usually one of the cheapest.
c) JFK International Airport (New York, NY) -- On the other side of NYC from CT, you WILL have an interesting time getting to New Haven from there.
d) Newark International Airport (Newark, NJ) -- Also far from CT, though close to NYC.

To get from the airports to New Haven, you have several options:
1) Rent a car
2) From New York airports, you can take either a bus or the subway to Grand Central Station, then take the commuter train to New Haven (Metro North, look for the New Haven Line, East of the Hudson). Trains leave about every hour, and the round trip cost is $28-$37, depending on when you're traveling.
3) From any of the 4 airports, you can take CT Limo. They have a stop in New Haven, and also a stop directly next to the hotel. Rates range from $86 round trip from Bradley to $130 round trip from JFK or LaGuardia. From Newark, they will only bring you to New Haven (not Milford), at a cost of $176 for the round trip.
4) Amtrak also runs to New Haven directly from Newark Airport, with prices ranging from $78-$142 for the round trip. AAA discounts are possible.

The church and the reception location are 2 blocks apart, and quite walkable. The hotel is a 10-15 minute drive from the hotel. We will do all we can to coordinate transportation between the hotel and the church for those who cannot have a car on hand.
