 | New Haven Flights and Airline Tips | 1 - 10 of 10 |  |
Tweed Airport is usually overlooked because there is no jet service. It has USAir and now Pan Am and all flights connect through Philadelphia or Baltimore-Washington DC.
I've been there recently to drop people off and it is definitely only a quick 10-15 minutes from downtown New Haven. The parking and getting to the gate is fast and immediate. The main drawback is that the direct flights are limited to those two cities. My last time flying out of Tweed was when they were flying to Chicago. Theme: AirplaneWebsite: flytweed.com

Interstate 95 coming from New York, take Downtown New Haven Exit 47.
Interstate 91 coming from Boston, take Exit 3 (Trumbull Street Exit)
Route 15 (Wilbur cross/Merritt Parkways), take Exit 61.
If travelling on Route 15 at night, beware of deer crossing. One jumped in front of my car.
The views on the interstate is not very interesting - non-descript.
Scenery along the interstate is non-descript. Theme: Car/Motor Home

Took the Greyhound bus a few times from Boston to New Haven.
Also from New York to New Haven.
The Greyhound Bus station is at 50 Union Avenue and adjacent to the Union Station for easy rail access.

From New York City, Metro North runs trains every hour during peak commuting time trains runs every 15-20 minutes.
It's a much cheaper and quicker option that Amtrak
Buses - The bus system is just ok, but the connections and times leave a bit to be desired.
Walking - If you only have a few days and are staying downtown, the area can be explored easily on foot.
Taxis - Are average priced but not very clean and usually smell of smoke. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Travelling to New Haven from Washington D.C, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Trenton, New York City, Providence, and Boston is best by train (Metro-North or Amtrak). By airline, you will have to land at Bradley Intl. north of Hartford and find a way south. Small aircraft can land at Tweed-New Haven, but larger aircraft cannot. By car, just take I-95 or I-91. Both of these highways meet at New Haven.
New Haven Metro Taxi (phone # 777-7777) is always reliable, but can be expensive. There is no subway system, but busses do run the city streets regularly. There is limited street car service within the immediate city center, near the Green and Yale University. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

Take Metro-North Railroad train from the Grand Central Station in Manhattan to Union Station at New Haven (more trains to State Street station):
$23 round trip
Detail info:

With above website, one can choose a date and time for available trains.
Depends upon where you want to go. Walking probably is the best choice for touring Yale University properties in downtown, especially the historic buildings.
Otherwise one would need to take bus or drive. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

If you're coming from New York, take the Metro-North train from Grand Central Station. Trains leave every hour at 17 minutes past the hour, more frequently during peak times. It's about $12 and at about 100 minutes, not too long a ride. The New Haven train station is not near anything worth seeing, but a $5 ride from one of the many cabs usually waiting at the station will get you pretty much anywhere you want to go. Leave a Comment
