From O’Hare, if neither car rental nor a ton of luggage is in the picture, we’re finding that the best and cheapest bet is to fly into La Guardia, take a taxi or bus to Grand Central, and take a $15 train ride (Metro North line) to New Haven. The train lets you off 6 blocks from campus. The nice thing about La Guardia is that there are so many daily flights from O’Hare. If you miss one flight or it is cancelled, there’s another one in an hour.

If you plan to rent a car on the other end, the best bet is to fly to Hartford and rent a car there. It’s a 45-minute drive.
