KTEB or KFRG?

HPN same distance from NYC as FRG...

I agree. HPN is another good option, and a quick drive down the parkway into the city. TEB is definatly closer, but I'd take HPN over any of the NY airports.

TEB gets my vote, there is heavy traffic there but folks still get in and out every day, and yes Rudys is still around. Your Boss hates it because he probably got stuck in a gate hold for 4 hours, it won't be much better anywhere else when that kinda stuff is going on anyway. My second would be Newark but I can't think of anywhere close to the airport I would want to stay without some type of firearm!

The Renaissance at rt3 and 17 is very nice with a great steak house.

Well, today aside, TEB is the way to go. Yes, it can get crazy busy at times, but all the FBO's and the tower are very, very used to it and all operate under those conditions better than any other airport I've ever been. 99% of delays at TEB are caused by delays at EWR, probably one of the worst airports for delays in the entire country...even Northwest Airlines site lists the on-time rate of 50%.

LGA is ok, but the FBO is awful, inconvenient for pax due to being far from the aircraft and they (sheltair) never seem to know what the heck is going on with the pax transportation. And, you have the unpredictable Queens traffic to deal with on the way to the city.

Look, TEB is busy for a reason-it works better than any other and it's closer than the others.

HPN is ok, MMU is also-if distance isn't a concern.

This is the wedsite for a slot into LGA. Very easy to use. If you can't get the time you want just get a time thats close, it will do. I go in there all the time and it is close but study your airport diagram thoroughly. Service at Sheltair is very good.

EWR Hotels

Either stay in NYC or go to the Short Hills Hilton -- very nice hotel -- about 15 minutes west of EWR (and less than 10 minutes east of MMU).

Either TEB or HPN. Both are fairly easy to get into. Getting out might take a little time from TEB if approach is busy, but not too bad. Meridian at TEB has a new FBO and is the cheapsest as far as fuel goes. Haven't been to HPN in a whie, but it is easy to get into the city with a sedan or limo. Crew hotels are nice there, suggest the Marriott. The express train will take you to Grand Central any time during the day for about 15 bucks one way. Good Luck.

We switched to MMU because it is much easier to get in and out of. The drive should be too much concern if you are operating on a weekend. During the week you might end up with traffic.

HPN - White Plains
p.s. we are stuck here as TEB is closed because of the flooding. Airport Ops says that it may be Thursday before it is open.
