Getting to New Haven, Connecticut

– If you’re in the northeast corridor and have easy access to Amtrak, that would be the least stressful way of getting to New Haven.

Flying Options

Avelo Airlines has some direct flights directly into New Haven (HVN).

– Your next best flying options are to fly into Hartford (BDL), Newark, NJ (EWR) or New York City (LGA and JFK), and taking Amtrak from there to New Haven. From LGA and JFK, you can hop on a commuter train to Penn Station and then take Amtrak from there.
