Westchester County Airport

This airport is fine. Not sure why so many bad reviews. It’s pretty much what one would expect from a very small airport. The terminal is small but we found seating. Plenty of parking on floor 3 of the garage. Pre check TSA took all of 7 minutes. They have a concession store with tons of snacks including gluten free options. Cheap prices as well. If you’re concerned about crowding get here 2-3 hours before your flight.

It’s a very small airport so if your plane doesn’t work properly, they can’t replace it with another one. So they leave you there for several hours. I would not recommend this place at all.

This is a welcome alternative to the major NYC airports, which are some 40+ miles away. However, you are paying more for the convenience of using this county airport. The pricing of these flights is higher. But personal cars and the SUNY Purchase shuttle vans (to the campus parking lots) are more numerous than TLC taxis, and the police are patient and gracious at curbside pickup, unlike at JFK and LaGuardia Airports. I prefer this airport for flights to Florida.

The experience is cool and all. But there can sometimes be delays, Great Security, Could be crowded at times, Parking Barley Available, So we call for a ride. The convenient store is awesome with great snacks, drinks, and foods. But the only downfall is that a light exploded and was very tragic and scared the hell out of me. But luckily I was relaxed with less crowds. On-time flight.

While this tiny airport has a lot of flights to popular destinations, it feels like a Greyhound bus station with rock hard metal seats, tiny restrooms with non working soap and paper towels dispensers. The food and drink options are mediocre and priced like fine resorts. You can't understand the announcements. This place feels like a prison tour. The NYC airports are Sooo much more comfortable and functional, it's probably worth the additional travel time down there.

This is a nice little airport with a restaurant upstairs called Wing Lady which had very good food, reasonably prices and a nice seating area. The people at TSA are very nice and helped us with problems with unpacking my husband’s C-Pap machine. Although other airports did not make him take it out which is odd. There are limited electric plugs here so unlike major airports good luck with charging devices. Because there are only 4 gates it’s not confusing except you have to listen for gate announcements so don’t use your headsets before boarding. A lot of people prefer this airport to Newark and other large airports so it has its advantages. Getting a LYft ride costs more than Uber which is different from other states. The service in the restaurant was excellent.

Westchester County Airport’s small size made the check-in and security a breeze—fast, smooth, and refreshingly hassle-free. However, that same coziness came with a trade-off: the space felt a bit tight and bustling with travelers, and there were no lounges to retreat to if you had a longer wait.

First time using this airport and what a disappointment. My family of 4 ( 2 adults and 2 children) were scheduled to leave at 2:40pm on 7/25. We boarded the plane on time and we were scheduled to leave a few minutes before the time. For our luck, the plane was delayed due to bad weather, which it is completely understandable. We went from Gate 2 to Gate 3 and we had to return because the wait ended up being two hours and we ran out of fuel. All passengers had to get off the plane. We were told to wait as the pilot needed to get new instructions. Several flights left Westchester Airport including two going to our same destination. We received poor notifications of flight changes. As I am writing this review, We are still waiting. Notifications were shared that the flight 595 crew outlawed and now we have to wait for a crew coming on an Uber from JFK. The way the situation was handled was poor. Better coordination should have been executed. I would like to know how all the customers will be compensated for the inconvenience of interrupting their vacation and reservations.

Arrived at the airport at 3am to get checked in and beat the security line only to find out no agent for the airlines come until 4:30am and defeated the purpose of getting there early however we ran into a airport worker (Emily?) who helped us get our bag tags at the kiosk and got us in the correct line to have them checked by JetBlue and then brought us to a security point that didn't have a long line so we were able to move through quickly after. It's a nice airport just very small and not a lot of food options after security and that was disappointing.

This airport is so convenient. We flew in on JetBlue and had an excellent experience. There's only 1 baggage carousel so it's quick and easy to get your stuff and get going. Also renting a car here is a breeze. We got our keys at the rental agency kiosk next to the baggage claim and it's like a 3 minute walk to all the cars. Overall you can't go wrong at HPN. I'll always choose this place over LaGuardia and JFK when flying into town.

My boyfriend and I flew into HPN last weekend. It's definitely a small regional airport and it shows. Theres only 4 active gates. We flew in from DTW where there is 147 gates. Everything is well marked for baggage claim/rest rooms/ car rental. On our way back, security was fast and efficient despite really being behind the times. A lot of practices are very dated here. It can be a mess trying to find a seat when you're waiting for your gate. You are elbow to elbow with everyone in their snack shop by the gates. Lots of hand sanitizers. Everything was smooth sailing for us though. All the workers we talked to were very friendly.

It is a tiny airport. Only 4 gates. Airlines are American, Delta & Jetblue. Jetblue has a route MCO-HPN. It's convenient if you're avoiding the gigantic hustle, bustle & crowd of LGA, JFK or the out of state, large and cumbersome EWR. It's only 30mins away from The Bronx, with no traffic. With traffic, about 48mins. On site and very close car rental with options like, Budget, Avis, and Enterprise. Going through security was quick and efficient. There is plenty of seating and there is a convenience store. Unfortunately no real food. That's the only thing I wish they would change about this airport. Get some real food options.

First time flying out of this airport it is small but definitely gets the job done. Check in process is simple and staff handles their customers with care. Baggage claim is easy access to achieve your luggage. They do have a small cafe for some quick snacks before the plane. During the flight home we had some issues with the plane and unfortunately the flight was delayed. The great news they went above and beyond to get us home. I know if it would have been JFK or LaGuardia they would have cancelled the flight thank you kindly for your service.

Easy to maneuver. Bathrooms are dated, landscaping at minimum. Convenient if you live in Westchester or southern CT.

The good: only 8 gates; TSA wait is negligible, if at all. Quiet convenient alternative to LGA. The meh: no real WiFi to speak of. Outlets (if you can find them) don't work. The bottom line: I highly recommend reserving long term parking way in advance. I had a reservation & got the last available long term lot spot.

Clean and small airport that's very accessible! Not a lot of wall outlets because it's an older building, but there are a few scattered about if you look. Pro tip: the second floor has some cubicle style work spaces and an observation area to sit and watch planes take off and land. It was quiet enough that I took a little nap in the corner! Owing to its size, there is one grab and go café on the first floor and a small sit down restaurant with bar service on the second. You may also want to wait to go through security here, as the seating is very limited once you do. There's another grab and go style Café near the terminals. I had a choice to fly into either JFK direct or have a connecting flight which arrived here. Despite the plane change, this was still the better option and again, accessibility beat out convenience here!

Always an easy in and out experience. The airport is super small and the TSA line can be long and brutal. Limited food offerings, but as an airport, you know you won't be here long.

This airport is absolutely adorable. Reason why I got here was due to work. I had to go to new Windsor and this is the only airport that's close by it. I tried looking SWF but there's no flight going there so I had to take this airport instead. It's an hour drive to my destination, but I'd rather take it than driving all the way from JFK or EWR. One thing I love about small airports is there's not much line. I was literally the only person on enterprise and checking out. My car was such a fast process. I highly recommend this cute little airport. See

I fly to the Hudson Valley somewhat regularly and Westchester County Airport makes it a breeze if your goal is to get somewhere in the Hudson Valley. I've also flown into La Guardia which then you have to deal with NYC traffic before getting to the Hudson Valley. This airport is much easier as well as being small and relatively low key. It's a very small regional airport, which is to say: eat before you get here and don't expect plush gates with all the outlets and working areas. It's also not a spot to fly into without getting a rental car unless you're going to be staying in the immediate area (be sure to map this/check before you go!). If you're aim is to get to NYC, JFK or LGA makes more sense. If you're hope is to get into areas of north of NYC in the Hudson Valley, this is your spot!

I scheduled my vacation trip leaving and returning to HPN. It was a convenient trip from Brewster, NY to get to. There is a small Cafe in the lobby area. The tsa workers were all respectful and got us through quickly. What I found was that Jet Blue left right on time. If I could I would give The County Airport parking section 10 stars. It was the best self service parking I have ever experienced. I booked it online paying the $11. Fee for securing the spot. I arrived, parked and went to the checkin area. No hassles. When I returned my car was secure and as I checked out an attendant appeared to assist with completing the payment. A total of 7 days and it cost me just $113. I am so blessed $16.14 a day including nights. I almost don't want to say anything and keep it as my secret.

This is the first time flying out of this airport I admit that I bought these flights because they were cheaper and I figured why not try out a new place?! This airport is absolutely Tiny with a capital T! Only 1 terminal with what looks like 6 gates. We went through Pre-check TSA in under 2 minutes. Amazing! It wasn't super packed here either, mind you it's 6:25am as I write this. Agents were friendly and smiled. I will definitely be flying in and out of here again. Heck, this might even be my new favorite airport, beating out ABE in PA.

I enjoyed flying out this airport. Small and very comfortable, easy checking, comfortable access to the gates. A complete store to get snacks and hot and cold beverages. Our new alternate to NYC airport when traveling to and out of CT

On its best days, this terminal is mildly horrible. The rest of the time it's atrocious. Dirty, (filthy!) crowded, not enough space for the number of passengers, not enough tables in the small eating area, few outlets for charging...etc, you get the picture. Clear does not operate on weekends (huh?!) Only good thing is Breeze flies nonstop to Vero Beach and is in fact the only airline with flights into Vero.

Very easy security process, being a small airport I usually have little to no line to be processed. The seating arrangements changed to where you are supposed to sit in your gate area for gates 1 and 4 instead of the main terminal, which is pretty confusing since there were no signs indicating. Overall, clean area and I am grateful to have this airport that flies to my destination.

I just had the most fantastic service at this airport. I travel often but this was the best. I am elderly and I use a wheelchair when I travel. Last night I pulled in around 9:30 from Fort Lauderdale. It was very cold and the plane was packed. A wheelchair helper name Soida came to me and decided to go all out in helping me. He had a pleasant nature, friendly, helped with my luggage, flagged my daughter for me and even helped me into the van. His service was over and above. I hope I get him again.

Worst airport experience I have ever had and I've been to developing countries. I've been to 6 continents. Developing countries with the GDP of probably Rhode Island can do better than this. If you travel and live in mid-northern Westchester, you know what a pain in the ass it is to get to one of the main airports. We are lucky enough to travel frequently and I decided to make our lives a little easier and book something out of this place instead. Unfortunately, unless you're going to Florida, flying to/from this airport means you will probably have a layover. It seemed worth it for the convenience of the 20 min drive from our house. This airport kicked things off on our Bourbon Trail trip. We had a flight at 5:15 to Charlotte after which we were catching the last flight of the day to Louisville. We arrived promptly for our flight at 3:15. A little foreshadowing, my Dad actually asked me while I was in the uber "is it crowded?" Things started to smell off when we walked in the front doors and there was a line that literally wrapped around from one side of the small airport all the way down to the bag check area. Huh. It became apparent that this was the line to go through security. We checked our bags. The lady who checked us in had a little bit of an attitude and could have benefitted from some patience but I've come to expect this kind of shit in NY. Walking towards security is when I noticed what the line was for. No worries! I have TSA precheck. We walked up to the TSA precheck area, which was blocked off, and were told they are only taking people whose planes are literally at the gate, preparing to board. He directed us to the "back" of the room, that was completely filled with people by the way, where "our line" was located. After weaving in and out of people and making our way to our supposed line, there was no line. I did ask someone about the existence of such line and she informed me she had been waiting for her flight that was due to take off at 9am. This was almost 3:30pm.. It turns out, there was some fog that delayed a bunch of flights and everything got clogged. The problem is that there were so many people waiting and only a handful of gates, there wasn't enough room for everyone. If you wanted to do something other than stand for hours, you had to find a piece of floor to sit on. It was insanity and quite unpleasant to say the least. The way one would find out when they should go through security and therefore, need to board their flight soon, was this woman with the 80s haircut walking around shouting what flight numbers they were accepting through TSA. There was one point when they shouted our flight number and we went to line up just for me to realize that it was DELTA 5070 and not my AA 5070 they were boarding. It was completely absurd. We finally went through security after what seemed like eternity of misery. We found a spot to sit on to lean against something, the thing we were leaning against was literally the baggage claim belt, no joke, because there was literally no other place. Because of this location, I was able to overhear a lot of the people on arriving flights bitching about how long they had to sit in the plane on the taxiway because there just werent' enough gates. It was such a backup of flights, one of the flights had to DIVERT TO JFK before ultimately coming to HPN. After making it through security, I was literally starving and thirsty so I went to the only place, a small store with snacks. They changed the gate our flight was leaving from a few times but a different gate was listed on the board. It was a complete mess. Needless to say, I would never again fly from here if it was the last airport on earth. Oh, and because our flight was delayed so much (2 hours or so) we missed our connecting flight and had to pay for an extra night in a hotel.

Small airport in New York great to leave from because it's not crowded like ka guardia or jfk . Lovely people work there personable and kind . When I return I'm happy it will be through this airport.

On a scheduled flight back home, go rerouted to this airport. Normally I would be upset if something of this magnitude happen, however I was not upset. First the staff was accommodating and very helpful during my time here. That made my experience at this place that much more enjoyable

Small, "neighborhood" airport easily accessible from Southern Connecticut. Efficient security line and small convenience store with a surprisingly varied array of items. It can become rather crowded due to its small size though.

horrific wait time, disorganized, congested with rude staff....give yourself at least 2 hours to check in

Cozy little airport and extremely convenient to hop on and hop off pretty much wherever (ish). It's got all the basic things, nothing exceptional, no lounges or anything like that (**if ONLY**) a couple of restaurants and places to grab food before security but other than that, that's pretty much it! It's pretty smooth and line can get long for security but only because there's only two lines. If you're running late you literally wouldn't have to run far either, it's all right there. The only place it gets messy is checking in with JetBlue area, people are always confused with the lines and the self check ins but honestly, it's with every airport. Be kind to the hardworking staff here at this tiny airport that's working hard for us to vacation wherever we are going. Convenient and easy place to arrive to or take off from. You definitely miss all the NYC traffic and huge airport walking and drama. Worth the extra $$ for a more local flight.

If you're looking for a simple airport to get you from point A to point B, this is a great option. It only has about four gates, so it is very easy to navigate. It is small, so security was very quick.

This airport would get 1 star if it were not conveniently located. Everything else is bad. It is small, crowded, with too little seating. Many people sitting on the floor. Chairs are very uncomfortable. Very few plugs for charging. The split system AC (yes, split system!) keeps dripping on me while I sit on the cold, hard metal chair that i was lucky to score. Wifi cuts in and out and shoes two bars. Apparently no thought was given towards making this place accommodating for passengers in recent memory. Our flight has been delayed five times already. People are blocking the aisles while they stand around waiting. Lots of sad looking faces all over the place. The staff on the PA system is rude, talking like nasty teachers addressing a kindergarten class. And that's when you can even understand them. Half the time they are mumbling or talking too low to understand them. They have one convenience store/snack bar that is pathetic. It looks like a gas station food store with even fewer options. But I did have the burned chicken tenders. Yum. The facility looks line it was built in 1955 and hasn't been renovated since. Maybe it was re-carpeted at some point? The county and the FAA should be ashamed to call this an airport.

A solid four. Small, but effective. New waiting room addition and family bathrooms. They keep them as clean as possible. Two water filling stations. Limited parking. Nice little (expensive) concession stand inside the terminal(s). They do sell wine and beer, and sometimes a person is there selling other drinks. I haven't figured that one out yet.

As far as airports this place is good. Quick and easy thru security. A little annoying bc there is never seating. Seems like they are always sold out and the 2-3 flights at a time take much of the atrium seating.

This airport is a hot disorganized mess, but I must admit it's so much more convenient than trekking to LGA or JFK. There isn't much space to sit by the gate. Very cramped and unclear boarding areas. I believe there is one small snack shop to get food before you enter security.

The year is 2023. Most airports are catering to people's modern tastebuds and are actually offeting hip eateries and food that's actually exciting. Is this the case at the Westchester airport? Absolutely not. It's stuck in the dark ages with horrendous dining choices and your typical bags of processed poisons. Hey, at least they added beer and wine so that's a step in the right direction. The airport has a captive audience that can sell a lot $ to waiting passengers. The food choices were so bad and I was so hungry, I opted for a banana. At least it was fresh. Come on HPN, step up your game on the food front.

My first time flying out of this airport few weeks ago. It's a small airport. I can't speak for the experiences others had or preferences of others in airports but for me, it was quick checking in, baggage claim and going through TSA. I was able to find a seat but once it got packed, I can see there are limited seats since many were standing around. I wasn't in need of outlets but there weren't many visible. There was a line for the only small convenience store so I didn't wait around. Overall, I had a pretty good experience. Would I fly out of here again? I don't have preference leaving out of any NY Metro airport. So I wouldn't mind if I find a good ticket leaving from this airport.

I love flying out of Westchester. Less than 20 minutes away, and can also get through security in the same amount of time? Score! I left off one star because I wish they had at least one more food option post security. I thought they used to have a Dunkin here?

HPN is quick and convenient. Seamlessly checking in and going through security. My only advice, don't arrive hungry. The restaurant is upstairs but you will have to leave the terminal to get access to it and have to go through security again. I made the mistake of arriving hungry and spent $20 on a turkey sandwich on wheat bread (regular sliced) and orange juice. Don't get extorted. Eat first!

Long long slow security lines on Saturday mornings. They have clear but don't offer it on the weekends (that makes zero sense)

There was a lady working at the Gate 4 desk for a flight leaving to Detroit from HPN on Wednesday, January 22 boarding at 12:35pm. I told her that I had a 30-minute layover to catch my connecting flight and she kindly upgraded my seat to the front of the plane to make it easier to deplane quickly. I want to thank her for her professionalism and kindness. It made a difference. She should get a promotion. Have a blessed day.

I would just like to highlight the fact that this is a very tiny airport. There is an upstairs that has a bar where you can hang out if you are waiting for your flight. The first floor is where your flight will always be and you'll be on the same level and an eye view of the TSA line. When I say eye view, you can do a cartwheel from your seat and hit the x-ray machine contraption. When there's more than one flight going out of once, it definitely seems congested. I had no issues at all with this airport. Airport. Give me anxiety and this was definitely a piece of cake. I feel like you can literally show up the minute boarding process starts and you would be fine. I've been to quite a few airports in New York, and New Jersey, and they are god-awful. Don't even get me started with LaGuardia and Newark. My direct flight from PBI to Westchester at the end of September was $300. Seriously that is an incredible price, considering how all the aggravation of dealing with a large airport is gone.

The ride there was fantastic. Great fast & friendly service. But, our flight was delayed and we arrived at 12:12am today & the Purchase Park & Ride was closed causing my husband, 2 young kids & I to be stranded at the airport. We were eventually escorted to the parking area to retrieve our car via police ecsort at about 130am as no taxi service was available. We are completely dissatisfied with the services & will never use them again. We cannot believe this company does not have a contingency plan in place for flight delays. I hope this review helps promote positive changes within theie business siness practices.

The little airport that could! Convenient to Sound Shore, northern Westchester and places north and CT. The terminal is small for the volume, but there is extra space that could be utilized. I recommend it if it's an option.

I'm sure this tiny airport can be a convenient and easy option for the area but it lacks in many areas. Know that it only has 4 gates and no real food option past security; it's just a convenient store. Also, there is a lack of seating if all 4 gates are expecting departures around the same time. In my experience, numerous flights were delayed and as a result the place was packed. Every seat taken, every bit of wall to lean on was occupied and as a result people are sitting on the floor blocking walk ways. There's no way the area was compliant with fire code. Also, the PA system is substandard even when people are quiet, pack a ton of people in there and you cannot hear announcements. Based on my experience I will not fly out of here again if I can help it. Again, it's small and easy to maneuver but know it can turn into a nightmare very quickly.

Nice regional airport that takes passengers to hub airports. The only thing I don't like is that the long term parking is expensive and the nearest outside long term parking is only available from 5 am-12 mn. If you leave and arrive within those hours, then check out the off site parking with shuttle. They do have TSA so that is a big plus.

Very small airport, only has 4 or 5 gates. Getting through tsa was easy. You can get a rental car easy

Airport is ok. Angry lady at the delta counter is not. She shows up late for work and takes it out on her customers. Do a better job at hiring people Delta!!! And remember lady.... We are your job security

Meet the Parents! Naw, I didnt meet the parents here, this is where the movie with Ben Stiller was filmed, where he's trying to get on board a flight, and he's like the only one there. This is a small, small airport. After getting a flight out of New York LaGuardia Airport, this became the only option to get out of the Empire State. I couldn't believe that they have regular flights out of this place. It looks more like a regional airport. I don't think they have a customs area. When I went, everyone was remarking at how much the airport had changed in recent history- an expansion of the TSA and more check-in areas. Woo! My favorite thing about this airport, other than its celebrity status, is the bar that's upstairs. There's really three bars, but really, there's just one bar that has three different vibes. The people all work together. The back one allows for views of the terminal, and the tarmac. Very nice. TSA was easy, there's no moving sidewalks to get you to your gate. It's just one big sitting area once you get past security. There's a place with not good food, and high priced booze. There's not even a gift shop.

I had the worst experience ever today with an TSA agent. she treats people like sheep and has no respect nor manners. heavy woman with curly hair and glasses. I had to double check that I was not by mistake at a farm. lack of training and no respect for human dignity. what a shame.

TSA pat downs are based on appearance only, so be careful. Also, luggage searching isn't random and is also based on your appearance ONLY.

The microphone for announcements at this airport are way too loud. And the announcers shout into them like they are angry, barking out very quickly the order for boarding. Needs to be rectified for better customer experience.

we had a fantastic interaction with one of the employees by the name of Nate. Not only did he assist our elderly grandparents but he went above beyond to help us get our boarding passes and wheel our grand parents to their destination. Nate was excellent and deserves great recognition as he does the job with a smile on his face. Employees should be more like Nate and the company should be very proud in the way he operates fantastic experience!!!

I flew home to Florida shortly a few days after Christmas from Westchester County Airport and enjoyed the experience. After flying into a crowded LaGuardia (and the newly remodeled terminals there are great), HPN was very different way to leave the region. There are about 4 or 5 counters where you can check your bags and only two security lines. We arrived for an evening flight and walked right through with TSA PreCheck. All of the airport staff we encountered were friendly and professional. It's best not to arrive to this airport hungry, as there is only one small shop before security and one crowded convenience store after security. There's four gates to leave from, and when our flight was leaving, the boarding area was packed as this place is SMALL. However, there are bathrooms on each side as well as a plethora of private bathrooms on the far side of the airport- very helpful for changing my one-year old son who was flying with my wife and I. If you're north of New York, I'd highly recommend giving Westchester County Airport a try.

This airport is such a convenient alternative to flying in and out of New York City. Primarily travel to/from Florida from this airport and there are many direct flight options. There are limited destinations and airlines available here so it may not meet everyone's needs. With its small size security is quick and crowds are manageable. There is limited options for food given the small size of the airport but for my needs it's a great trade off for the ease of flying here.

This is my go to airport unless I'm flying internationally. Then I normally use JFK. Airline check in here is normally quite speedy; however I recommended using TSA Pre-Check if you are a member. This normally saves time. The Pre boarding lounge is not too big and can get rather crowded at peak times. I would also recommend to use Uber unless you're getting a lift to and from the airport.
