Nearest AirportsNearest Airports
Here’s a quick guide to nearby airports and how far they are from our wedding venue in St. James, NY: Long Island MacArthur Airport (ISP) – Approximately 30 minutes away A convenient local airport and the easiest option if you can find a good flight! John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) – Approximately 1:45/2 hours away (Traffic dependent) Heads up: JFK is currently undergoing major construction, which can mean longer wait times and detours - plan accordingly! JFK offers the most flexible transportations options. Using the AirTrain directly from JFK will bring you right to Jamaica Station, which will give you access to the LIRR. LaGuardia Airport (LGA) – Approximately 1:45/2 hours away Recently renovated and an alternative to JFK, depending on what airline you like to fly. Still busy, but newer. Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) – Approximately 2:30/3 hours away A good option if you’re staying closer to NYC before heading out to Long Island - just allow time for bridge-and-tunnel traffic! Travel Tip: If you’re flying into any NYC-area airport, be sure to give yourself plenty of buffer time - Long Island is beautiful, but not always easy to get around.
Travel Note
Transportation & Getting AroundTransportation & Getting Around
Rental Cars: Available at or around all airports and strongly recommended. Having a rental car will make getting to the venue, hotel, restaurants, and anywhere else you want to go much easier and more convenient. Ride Shares: Uber and Lyft are available but can be hit or miss, especially late at night or in less populated areas. We wouldn’t rely on them as your main mode of transportation. Train Option: The Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) connects NYC to various parts of Long Island. It’s a solid option if you’re coming in from the city and staying nearby, but you’ll likely still need a car or ride from the station to reach the venue or hotels.
