If you deplane before you head all the way out East, here’s the rundown on the distance from New York’s airports:
- Kennedy Airport – approximately 80 miles from East Hampton
- La Guardia – approximately 85 miles from East Hampton
- MacArthur (Islip) Airport – approximately 50 miles from East Hampton
Obviously arriving at a Hamptons airport saves you NYC traffic but Hamptons traffic from one village to another can consume all the time you’ve saved. So plan to arrive early or late to avoid congestion on country roads.
- East Hampton Airport – Located about 2 miles from the village of East Hampton.
- Westhampton Beach – Located about – Located about 25mi west of East Hampton, Francis S. Gabreski airport as this airport is known can service much larger aircraft. It is often a reliever airport for East Hampton (HTO) in bad weather and on peak holidays.
- Montauk Airport Located about four miles from Montauk on East Lake Drive in Montauk, the 3500-foot runway has pilot-controlled lighting, Shuttle bus to the beach for pilots and outdoor showers for departing beach-goers.
