Travel and Accomodations

Flight

EWR/LGA/JFK/HPN/ALB

Air Travel: We recommend flying into the following airports: Newark (EWR), La Guardia (LGA), JFK, Albany (ALB), and White Plains (HPN). You are more likely to find direct and more affordable flights to the NYC airports (EWR, LGA, and JFK). If prices are the same, EWR/LGA are slightly closer than JFK. The venue is approximately 90 miles from the 3 NYC airports (1.5- 2 hours away, possibly longer with holiday traffic). The White Plains Airport is closest to the venue, 68 miles (1 hour and 15 minutes), and you'll skip the NYC traffic. The Albany Airport is just as far from the venue as the NYC airports (EWR, LGA, and JFK)- but there's less traffic coming from Albany, and it's a much smaller airport (don't go to Albany if you plan to spend some time in NYC before/after the wedding weekend).
