Suggestions for Travel to Yale:
Air Travel
New Haven is serviced by the Tweed/New Haven Airport which is a convenient 10-minute taxi ride to the Yale campus and has daily flights to/from Philadelphia on US Airways. Other alternatives are Hartford/Bradley International Airport (approx. 1-hour driving time to Yale), or one of the New York airports (La Guardia, JFK, or Newark approx. 2.5 hours driving time).
Connecting Ground Transportation
Standard options for ground transportation between airports in Hartford or New York include:
From Hartford/Bradley International Airport:
• CT Limousine: 800-472-LIMO (5466); hourly shuttle service making approx. 3-4 stops to/from airport and Long Wharf Terminal in New Haven. Will also drop off at New Haven area hotels and pick up at Phelps Gate on the Yale campus.
From JFK and LaGuardia Airports in New York:
• CT Limousine: 800-472-LIMO (5466), 12 passenger van or bus with approx. 5 stops or more between airport and Long Wharf Terminal in New Haven.
• GO Airport Shuttle: 800-377-8745, shared ride service door-to-door between airports and New Haven hotels.

• Red Dot Shuttle: 800-6REDDOT (673-3368), hourly shuttle service between most New Haven hotels and JFK or LaGuardia airports.
NOTE: If your travel itinerary is not compatible with one of the regular airport shuttle services, you might consider car rental (probably the most economical), or a private car service.
