If you’re trying to minimize transfers and hassle, what might be easiest is to fly into Newark Liberty and then take northeast regional Amtrak train (which has a stop at the airport) straight to New Haven. Amtrak can be pricey though if you don’t book well in advance. Alternatively, fly into LGA or JFK, take bus/cab/subway to Grand Central, and then local Metro North train to New Haven.

Thank you! I’ll look into this Edit: this is exactly what I was looking for! I’m used to either driving or Ubering everywhere. So helpful

No prob :) enjoy your trip!

Flying into Hartford is an easier route. I fly back and forth to LA all the time and use a direct flight from Jet Blue. About a 50 minute drive from Hartford to New Haven.

M60 bus gets you from lga to the Harlem metro north station. That’ll be faster than going to grand central, like 45 minutes faster

Ooh that sounds good too! Are there shuttles from New Haven to Hartford do you usually Uber there

Will also look into this! Thanks!

I taken an Uber once and it was in the ballpark of $60-$70 if I recall. There are ways via transit that’ll get you to the train station in New Haven. In general I find it less hectic.

Perfect thank you for your help!

If you don’t want to Uber the whole way, you can Uber either to the Windsor Locks or Hartford train station and take CT rail into New Haven

Thank you! Will also look into that as well

Flying to Hartford is probably the easiest but limited direct flights. I think JetBlue only has one daily direct flight. Personally I like flying into NYC (usually JFK) and spending an hour or two in NYC before taking the Metro North from Grand Central yo New Haven. You can also fly direct via Breeze to white planes and then Uber buts it’s a $90 Uber.

Thank you!!!

I've flown out of and into all the New York area airports and out of Bradley a bunch of times. Trust me, fly into and out of Bradley if you can. You'll likely be in New Haven within an hour of getting off the plane. NYC airports may take you anywhere from 3 to 5 hours to get to New Haven. You just never know about traffic. It can be gridlock from the parking lot all the way to Bridgeport, CT before it opens up. I'm an Uber driver and refuse to drive west toward the NYC airports. And I love NYC, but i value my time. You're flying from L.A. and I imagine you'll want to kick your feet up and grab a beer or a bite to eat as quickly as possible. Bradley is a hidden gem of an airport. Good luck.

Thank you so much for that insight! I really appreciate it and will likely take this route as my primary route (:

You could try goairpot shuttle, it’s cheaper than Uber

Never heard of them until now. Ty!
