If I'm in town I'll come up on the new haven line, but there's a big if as SES is the same time as ASE (Shawn if you're reading can we not have this next time please)

New Haven line here too - but I'll prob opt to just drive in.
Anyone know how much the Valet at the Hilton is per day?
Just booked the hotel room. Still shopping for flights.
Which airport should I fly into? Does it matter?
EDIT: Nm. Just saw thuxen's post-

I haven't lived in NY in over 8 years but from experiences since then, proximity != faster. LGA is the most congested airport in the nation with delays all the time, JFK is a bit better for domestic traffic, and EWR is a pain b/c it's in Jersey (unless you plan on taking the chopper, in which case it's a no brainer).
SES hadn't announced their dates at the time we booked and made our announcement.
Trust me, I'd rather they didn't overlap ASE.
There is a train from Newark Airport to Penn Station in NYC - Getting To And From Newark Airport (EWR)
$11.55 one way.
I use AirTrain whenever I fly out. I live only 6 miles east of JFK, yet they want $35 each way for a cab (before the tip). Screw that!
LGA doesn't have an AirTrain, but the M60 bus is a shuttle that departs from Grand Centeral terminal, and goes around LaGuardia's airport terminals for $2. JFK is the newer, better connected airport, LaGuardia is the tough, ugly sister.
Ya I didn't think it was intentional - I'm gonna try and do both, crazy as that is.
Technically, AirTrain doesn't even leave Queens. It does a circular route stopping at JFK terminals, airport parking lots, the Howard Beach subway station and the Jamaica/Sutphin Boulevard LIRR station. You can connect @ the LIRR station for a train bound for Manhattan/Penn Station (32nd & 7th Ave.) then take the subway uptown to the Hilton @ 51st and 6th or a cab. The walk is ok, but you'll have luggage.
The A train subway station at Howard Beach will connect you to anyplace in the city for $2, but be prepared for a loooong ride through the marshes of Rockaway and south Brooklyn. :eek7:
Be prepared for fork over at least $45 for the privilege. Some Gypsy cab drivers hang out at the airport so you may be able to negotiate a better fare. The AirTrain method is easier than it sounds. I gave you a lot of detail making it sound harder.
