Travel By Plane

When booking your ticket, you have the option of flying into New York’s Westchester (HPN), LaGuardia (LGA) or Kennedy (JFK) airports.

We provide transportation to and from Westchester Airport only!

Scheduling Your Flight:

Schedule your flight to arrive in New York any-time between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm on the Sunday before the retreat. Special permission is required to arrive on Monday as the Retreat begins at 9:00 am. No late flight arrivals, please! (You may need to get a dispensation from your priest if this will cause you to miss Sunday Mass.) When booking your return flight, please be advised that the Retreat is not over until 10:30am Saturday. Leave enough time to travel from the Retreat House to the airport.

Transportation To/From Airports:

Westchester (White Plains): This is the closest airport to our Retreat House, and is approximately 45 minutes away. One of our drivers will pick you up at the Baggage Claim door.  Upon your arrival please call the Retreat House to confirm that you have arrived and we will inform our driver.
