Many Monmouth County travelers fly out of New York for international trips and nonstop routes. Both JFK and LaGuardia are an easy ride from Freehold when you plan ahead.
Freehold to JFK International Airport
JFK is about 50 miles from Freehold. In light traffic the drive takes around an hour and a quarter; at rush hour it can take considerably longer. The usual route crosses Staten Island and the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge into Brooklyn, then follows the Belt Parkway to the airport.
Freehold to LaGuardia Airport (LGA)
LaGuardia is roughly 53 miles away and typically takes around an hour and 20 minutes without heavy traffic. Depending on conditions, your driver may route through Staten Island and Brooklyn or through Manhattan.
Best times to leave
- Avoid arriving in New York between about 7–10 a.m. and 4–7 p.m. on weekdays if your schedule allows
- For international departures from JFK, plan to reach the terminal about 3 hours before your flight
- Leave extra time on Friday afternoons, Sundays and around holidays
Public transit vs. car service
Getting to JFK or LaGuardia from Freehold by public transit usually means a bus to Manhattan and then a subway, AirTrain or another bus — with your luggage. A car service takes you door to terminal in one comfortable ride.
