That option didn't occur to me!

They have almost hourly vans going out 95 from LaGuardia (and Newark and Kennedy, I believe).

I think that is what I will be doing. If our schedules at all coincided, I'd be glad to share a rented car, but I haven't booked yet. -----Original Message----- From: Assembly for the Teaching of English Grammar on behalf of Paul E.

LaGuardia is actually a bit closer to CT if you're driving up, so it might be your best bet. It's just a short trip to the Whitestone Bridge, which will put you on the Hutchison River Parkway (and that becomes the Merritt Pkwy in Connecticut, which is a good way to get to Fairfield. If you're taking the train up, however, JFK is probably the better choice. Warning, however: NYC drivers are aggressive (I know because I used to BE one!)! Paul D.

I don't mean to be a tightwad, but I'd like to save as much as I can on the flight, esp since ground transporation has to be figured into the mix. I can fly to LaGuardia for about $80 cheaper than Kennedy or other airports, but I haven't ! heard too many suggestions about LaGuardia. I'm also thinking about just renting a car so that once I'm at a hotel it'll be easy to get to campus. Does LaGuardia sound reasonable, even though most people seem to suggest Kennedy?

The problem with flying into Stewart is the limited connections from there. Unless there is a bus that would take you from Newburgh to Fairfield, you would need to rent a car or take a cab. If you don't mind driving, it is 70.43 miles (1hr 39mins--as per MapQuest) from the airport to Fairfield University. The h! ighway that takes you there is no more than 5-7 minutes from the airport (you'd only have to drive on 2 different streets). It is also a scenic highway that goes to Connecticut. Otherwise, your next best bet is to fly into Kennedy Airport, take the subway to Grand Central Station where you get the Metro North train that goes to Fairfield, Ct.
