HPN or a New York City airport?
HPN has far fewer flights than JFK, LaGuardia or Newark, so the first question is always whether your airline flies the route from White Plains. When it does, the shorter drive and small terminal usually win on total travel time. When it doesn’t, compare the connection time at the hub with the longer drive to a New York City airport. Our HPN vs JFK guide walks through that decision.
Private flights at HPN
A large share of HPN traffic is private aviation using the fixed-base operators (FBOs) on the airfield rather than the passenger terminal. Tell us which FBO you are flying from and your departure time, and the driver goes to the FBO entrance instead of the terminal curb.
Your flat rate includes up to 15 minutes of waiting; cancellations more than 2 hours before pickup are free, and tolls are passed through at cost (see our Terms of Service).
