Travel Tips
Book Flights Early**: If you choose to fly, book your tickets at least 2-3 months in advance to secure the best fares. Look for direct flights to Newburgh's Stewart International Airport (SWF) to save time.
Check Train and Bus Schedules**: If opting for train or bus travel, check the schedules on Amtrak or Greyhound. Plan for potential delays, especially during peak travel seasons, and consider booking tickets in advance to ensure your seat.
Drive Smart**: If you decide to drive, the journey is approximately 4-5 hours. Check traffic conditions on I-95 and I-87 beforehand, and consider leaving during off-peak hours to avoid congestion. Also, ensure your vehicle is in good condition for the trip.
Luggage Considerations**: For flights, familiarize yourself with the airline's baggage policy to avoid fees. For bus or train travel, keep your luggage manageable, as space may be limited. A small carry-on is often best.
Plan for Border Crossings**: If your route unintentionally crosses into Canada (via certain scenic routes), ensure you have the proper documentation, such as a valid passport. However, this is generally not necessary for direct travel between Dulles and Newburgh.
