Airport info:
Anyone who is flying will probably want to fly into MacArthur Airport (ISP) in Islip, NY. Southwest & US Airways fly into ISP. All the major airlines fly into JFK or LaGuardia (LGA) (in Queens, NY). JetBlue tends to have decent sales into JFK while US Airways and American Airlines usually have pretty inexpensive flights into LGA if you book early enough. Southwest just opened up its schedule thru June 2011.
- ISP is 20 minutes from my parents and about 30 minutes from the hotels we’re going to book.
- JFK and LGA are a little bit over an hour away from my parents/the church and probably about an hour & twenty minutes away from the hotels.
- Don’t bother to fly into Newark. It’s in New Jersey and a pain in the butt to get to LI from it. Plus, you’ll get hit with the tolls entering NY from NJ and those are expensive.
If you are flying into JFK or LGA the day of the wedding, please leave a lot of time! There are always delays flying in & out of NY! Also, if it’s a really nice weekend, then there’s always a chance that you’ll run into traffic for people going out east or to the Hamptons.
Thanks!
