New Haven Airport Transfers
Our New Haven airport transfers start in the arrivals area of Tweed-New Haven Airport, where your driver meets you after baggage claim and walks with you to the car outside. Every Avelo and Breeze flight uses the same terminal, and we track your flight so the pickup follows your real landing time.
Enter your hotel or address in the booking form to see the vehicles available for your route, from sedans and SUVs to minivans for families and groups, priced per vehicle before you pay. Each New Haven airport transfer goes door to door, whether you are heading to a Yale campus building, a hotel on Chapel Street or a beach house in Branford. Unlike waiting for a taxi at the curb, your ride is booked before you land.
New Haven Airport Shuttle
Our New Haven airport shuttle is a private minivan or minibus for your party only: it leaves as soon as you have your bags and goes straight to your address, with no stops for other passengers. There is room for suitcases, strollers and sports bags, so it suits families, visiting teams and groups arriving together for Yale events or shoreline weddings.
Landing at New Haven Airport
Tweed-New Haven Airport (HVN) is the airport of New Haven, Connecticut, about 3 miles southeast of downtown, and the main base of Avelo Airlines; Breeze Airways also flies here. Passengers use one small terminal on the west side of the airfield. A new East Terminal is part of the airport's expansion plan, and until it opens every flight uses the current building.
All scheduled flights are domestic, so there is no immigration or customs on arrival. You leave the aircraft by jet bridge or a ground-level ramp, walk a short distance to baggage claim, then continue out to the arrivals area.
New Haven is on Eastern Time, UTC-5, and UTC-4 during daylight saving time.
No passport control at HVN
All flights are domestic, including those from Puerto Rico. International visitors clear US immigration at their first US airport, and Visa Waiver Program travelers need an approved ESTA before flying to the United States.
ID for your return flight
Travelers 18 and older need a REAL ID or another TSA-accepted photo ID for domestic flights.
Rideshare and taxis
Uber and Lyft are authorized at the airport, and M7 Ride taxis wait at Arrivals before each flight.
No street parking
If friends or family meet you, street parking near the airport is prohibited and vehicles are ticketed and towed.

Where will my driver meet me at New Haven airport?
Your driver meets you in the arrivals area after baggage claim, at the meeting point named in your confirmation, and walks with you to the car outside.

How far is Tweed-New Haven Airport from downtown New Haven?
The airport is about 3 miles (5 km) southeast of downtown New Haven. The drive to the New Haven Green and the Yale University campus usually takes 10 to 15 minutes. Hotels around Wooster Square, Chapel Street and Long Wharf are a similar short drive away, with I-95 close to the airport.
Can you take me to Yale University?
Yes. We drive you door to door to Yale University, including campus buildings, the Yale New Haven Hospital area and hotels around the New Haven Green and Chapel Street. Give us the full address or hotel name when you book, so your driver goes straight to the right entrance.

Can you take me to New York City or Mystic?
Longer trips, such as to Mystic, Hartford or New York City, depend on the route and vehicle availability. Share the full address when you book and we'll confirm whether the trip can be arranged. New York City is a much longer drive from New Haven, so give us your timings early.
Is Tweed-New Haven Airport the same as the New York airports?
Can I book a pickup for a late-night or early-morning flight?
Yes. Enter your flight number and arrival time when you book, and your pickup is set for that flight, whatever the hour. For early departures, book the ride from your hotel or home in advance so your driver is scheduled before the airport's first flights of the day.
What happens if my flight to New Haven is delayed?
We track the arrival of the flight on your reservation, so your driver adjusts to a delay. If your flight number, date or airline changes, or your flight is canceled, update it in Manage your booking as soon as you can so we can move your pickup to the new time.
Can I book a ride back to Tweed-New Haven Airport?
Yes. Book a return from your hotel, home or campus address to Tweed-New Haven Airport and give us your departure time. Airline counters open two hours before departure and checked bags must be tagged 45 minutes before, so your pickup is timed to leave room for check-in and security.
Which terminal will I arrive at in New Haven?
