How do you get to the Hamptons without the LIE?
New York to the Hamptons is the shortest route in our network — and arguably the one where private aviation makes the most dramatic difference. The Hamptons are only 80 miles east of Manhattan, but on a summer Friday afternoon, the Long Island Expressway turns that distance into a 3-4 hour crawl. There are no commercial flights. The alternatives are the LIE, the Long Island Railroad, or the Jitney bus. A private flight covers the distance in about 30 minutes, landing at East Hampton Airport (HTO) in the heart of the South Fork. From Memorial Day through Labor Day, the Friday afternoon departure window from 2-5 PM is the most requested slot on this route. The return on Sunday evening reverses the pattern, with most flights departing between 4-7 PM.

No flights, no train, no 4-hour drive
There are no commercial flights to the Hamptons. Your options by ground are all punishing on summer weekends: the LIE in traffic, the railroad to a taxi, or the Jitney bus. None of these suit the destination. A 30-minute flight from Teterboro or Westchester to East Hampton turns the trip into a quick hop. Leave your office at 3 PM, be at your beach house by 4:30. That time recaptured is worth the charter cost for most travelers on this route.
