By rail the trip is 4 separate legs: a 2-minute ride to Dobbs Ferry, the Hudson Line to Grand Central, the subway or LIRR from Grand Central or Penn Station and the AirTrain to the terminals. Hastings-on-Hudson (4 min) and Ardsley-on-Hudson (4 min) are the other nearby stations. By car it is one leg of 31 miles and roughly 45–65 minutes, with the bags in the trunk the whole way.
Neighbours book this route too: Ardsley (1.4 mi), Hastings-on-Hudson (1.4 mi), Snedens Landing (1.6 mi) and Irvington (1.7 mi) are all within a few miles, and the flat rate is set by the pickup address rather than the town name.
