When I have a trip to NYC, we always go to TEB. There are four pretty good FBO's on the field. It's also not too far of a drive from downtown. Teterboro is popular/busy for a reason. I can't comment on FRG; I haven't been there.

FRG is a long way out (no pun intended) long island. TEB is much closer and better FBO's.

LGA...if you can get a slot.

If you do plan on going to FRG it is 25-30 min to the midtown tunnel in no traffic. i have spent an hour and a half though at rush hour. the airport is nice. alot less busy than TEB parking is never a problem, catering and transportation as well as a good selelction of hotels are readily available. I would suggest atlantic aviaition. their facility is alot nicer than sheltair.

I agree with the post about LGA. More fun anyways. And it's not like getting in and out of TEB is just a breeze anyways. Just make sure you can get there for your slotted time.

Why don't more people use EWR? It's pretty close to the city. Is it to avoid Signature?

Keep em comming.

For some reason the owner doesn't like KTEB -

How hard is it it get a slot at LGA? and who do you ask?

You might also consider how to get out of NYC.

I've been to each airport only once. Sometimes (and this is from viewing the FAA website), TEB will be subject to lengthy taxi delays--possibly up to an hour due to various departure corridors. However these delays aren't as frequent as the 3 major airports in the area.

TEB's longest runway is 6800ish ft. FRG, I think, has 7000ish.

If the boss is on a tight departure sched., I'd go ahead and chance FRG.

It's six of one, half dozen of the other really.

How long's that flight gonna be from paradise?

And does anyone know if Rudy's is still in business?

Go to EWR. No slots, 30 min to city. Good and affordable hotels for crew nearby. Much safer to operate in and out of than TEB or FRG. And as far as Signature's go, it's not that bad.

Can't you get a slot for LGA through the e-stmp program. I've only had to use it for ASE/EGE/RIL and for Super Bowl...usually our schedule department sets up LGA. I'd rather go to FRG for us. Not as busy at all and no having to wait for the shuttle to/from the 5 towers. And no 15 deep congo line either. Just try to schedule arrival/departure for non-rush hour and stay at the Marriott. We use Atlantic 90% of the time. The other one (can't recall the name) is okay, too. Never had a problem with either.

We go to TEB a few times a month, and it sometimes gets painful to park at any of the FBO's. We always get there at the busy times it seems.
