NYC GA airports

Going to NY in a few weeks. What is the most convenient GA airport to land
and take public transportation into midtown?

Thanks,

Michael

Republic (FRG) is a 5 min cab ride to the Long Island Rail Road which is
then 55 minutes away from Midtown. It will run you about $11 for the train.
Teterboro is closer to NYC but I believe you have to take a bus. Depending
on traffic, that may be 30 minutes to over an hour. Being so close, it's
also busy with biz jet operations. Some one who is more familiar than I
should chime in.

Do a Google Group search. This question has been posted and answered from
time to time.

MMU is about 3 miles from the NJTransit. If you get one of the "Midtown Direct"
trains it takes just a smidge over an hour to hit Penn Station (NY). The other
drains dump you in Newark and you can PATH it over to Manhattan.

From the North, if you use HPN you will need to get a ride or take a taxi to
the White Plains train station, then it's 35-50 minutes to Grand Central
(depending on whether you get a local or express).

I went to HPN two weeks ago and the FBO gave me a ride to the train. It was
was under an hour to Grand Central.

Coming from the northwest, I would always land at Teterboro. The express bus
from the airport is a 45 minute trip to midtown. Be sure you have the
schedule ahead of time, though--- the local bus is infuriatingly slow.
