A small terminal with big-airport routes
Westchester County Airport sits on the New York and Connecticut border, just north of White Plains. Its single, compact passenger terminal handles a limited number of scheduled flights under a county agreement that caps how many airline passengers the terminal can process in each half hour. That cap keeps queues short, and the walk from gate to curb takes only a few minutes. Most of the field's traffic is business aviation, handled at several FBOs.
| Area | What happens there | Pickup note |
|---|---|---|
| Passenger terminal | Scheduled domestic flights | Baggage claim is next to the exit |
| FBOs | Private jets and charters | Pickup arranged at the FBO |
| Short-term curb | Drop-offs and pickups | Cars move on quickly; no waiting |
Where do I meet the chauffeur at HPN?
For scheduled flights, the standard pickup is curbside at the area Westchester County Airport designates for pre-arranged vehicles outside the terminal. Text or call the chauffeur as you reach baggage claim; the car comes up from the nearby staging area. Because the terminal is small, the handover usually takes minutes.
A name-board welcome at the HPN baggage belt is booked as meet and greet. Add-ons are only available in selected locations; the booking engine confirms availability at HPN.
Waiting time
Pickup timing follows the real landing. Scheduled flights into HPN are domestic, so 30 minutes of free waiting is included from arrival. Waiting beyond that is billed in 15-minute blocks.
Private jets and the FBOs
Much of HPN's activity is corporate and private aviation, with FBOs on the field serving jets based in Westchester and Fairfield County. Chauffeurs follow each FBO's access rules; some permit planeside pickups for pre-cleared vehicles. See Westchester private aviation and private aviation and FBO service. Principals and family offices can book through HNWI and family office arrangements.
Drive times from Westchester Airport
| Destination | Usual time | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| White Plains downtown | 10-15 min | I-684 and I-287 |
| Rye and Harrison | 10-15 min | Close to the airport |
| Purchase | 5-10 min | Corporate campuses next to HPN |
| Greenwich, Connecticut | 15-20 min | King Street or I-287 to I-95 |
| Stamford | 20-30 min | Merritt Parkway or I-95 |
| Scarsdale | 15-20 min | Hutchinson River Parkway |
| Chappaqua and Armonk | 15-25 min | I-684 north |
| Bedford | 20-30 min | I-684 north |
| Midtown Manhattan | 45-75 min | Hutchinson River Parkway or I-95; peaks longer |
| LaGuardia | 35-60 min | For connections |
| JFK | 50-80 min | Via the Whitestone or Throgs Neck bridges |
The Merritt and Hutchinson River Parkways have low bridges, and commercial vehicles are barred from them. Larger vans and buses therefore use I-95 or I-287, which the chauffeur plans for.

HPN or the New York City airports?
HPN is the easiest airport for northern Westchester and Fairfield County, with shorter queues than LaGuardia or JFK, though with far fewer routes. Local guides: White Plains, Greenwich, Stamford and New York.
Business travel around the airport
The area around HPN is a corporate hub. Purchase, Rye Brook, Harrison and Armonk host the headquarters and large offices of consumer goods, payments, insurance and technology companies, and many executives use HPN or its FBOs for short domestic trips. Corporate accounts include monthly invoicing, cost centres and traveller profiles, and executive chauffeur service covers regular runs between offices, homes and the airport.
The county limits the number of airline passengers the terminal can handle at a time, and the airport has a long-standing voluntary restriction on late-night flights, so there are few very early or very late scheduled arrivals. That makes pickup timing predictable. Winter storms are the main exception: snow and ice in the Hudson Valley can delay departures and slow the parkways, so allow extra time between December and March. Arrivals by private jet at night are handled at the FBOs, which keep their own hours, and the chauffeur confirms access with the FBO before your wheels-down time. The airport's history and current operations are summarised on Wikipedia. For weekend trips to country houses in northern Westchester or Litchfield County, book a one-way transfer or an hourly booking, whichever fits the plan.
Departures and cancellation
Thanks to the terminal's capacity rules, security at HPN is often quick, but allow at least an hour before scheduled domestic flights. Official information is on the Westchester County airport site. Cancellation is free more than 72 hours before pickup; 10% within 72 hours, 50% within 48 hours, and 100% within 24 hours or for a no-show.
