The Frontier manager at this location lacks ability to communicate in a professional manner along with separate feelings from task. Providing answers in line with the company’s written policy was not within her skill set or value structure. When I followed up with Frontier on the phone I was given a very different perspective of client service and resolution vs in person lack of accountability and holding back documentation of process at the counter. If one star service is what you’re looking for ……..look no further.
Allegiant Airlines has the best employees around. A man named Joe checked my mother in, got her a wheelchair a person to navigate us to the gate. Then Joe came up and put my mother on the airplane. I will never forget how nice it that man was.
Stewart Intl. Airport is the closest local airport when driving from Dutchess, Ulster and Orange Counties.In comparison, driving to J.F.K. Airport is much further away. Consequentually, it will use up more gas which is especially exorbitant these days. You also need to set aside more precious time to arrive there on time.J.F.K. is always overcrowded with travelers and a big hassle to get through security. Parking is also a nightmare.Therefore whenever possible I book flights going from Stewart Intl Airport to my chosen destination. Its a small airport which means that you wont have to walk a long distance to navigate where you need to be in order to board the plane. Another positive is that there isnt big crowds of people there. What a relief to actually have some personal space instead of feeling like people are in your way.This airport is kept clean and the employees are friendly and courteous.Theres so many more benefits to Stewart Airport but those are just a few. For these and other reasons, I recommend it.
The staff here is amazing and so helpful, TSA is so quick and there is no sweat to get through. Most other airlines rush and treat you as another ticket. Stewarts sees you as a person and makes the experience a wonderful one! From the ticket counter to the airline its 100% my go to airport!
This is the best airport. small, staff is amazing, Frontier staff are very friendly, specially with the kids. Amazing experience, its only 1:15min from Manhattan.
One of the easiest International-Travel airports i have been to, and just for regular flights aswell. (while there was international flights). Quick security, extremely convenient parking made the experience better. Flew the SWF-BFS flight on Norwegian before they shut it down. Food is good too. The only problem would be US Clearance, a bit of a struggle but its better than JFK. I would consider coming back if the right airline & route flew.
The worst organized TSA setup I have ever encountered. Lines move very slow while they stand and watch not even checking if the right people are in the Pre Check line. They need someone to get there and straighten them out they are unconcerned about the confusion and disorganization that is happening there.
This airport is not good. They canceled my flight 4 hours befor the plain was to take off and then when we went to give then our lugeges they said the flight was canceld and they said that they emaild everyone 2 hours ago. My dad quiqly whent on his phone and cheked every email he did not get one. And then when we were exiting the bilding we ran into a bunch of other people who did not get an email as well. It was very diciponting because we had to drive for a rely long time in a taxe befor we got there,so when we whent into the airport the taxe left and we had to call an uber that made us wahit 20 minits befor we were able to go home.
I always find that this airport is fast and efficient. The staff is well organized and I have had only good experiences at the gates.
I really like the idea of a small airport with a country feel, however, as it picks up airline carriers it becomes more and more crowded/chaotic. Hoping for an expansion in the near future?
I took a Norwegian airlines flight from here and it was fine. Bare bones service but then again the parking and access to terminal are so much easier than the bigger airports.The downside is that after security all you have is Euro café for food 20 minute line to buy water and a small kiosk that serves as a bar.Not even a water vending machine.On arrival staff were very friendly in dispatching people to the correct immigration lines.
Very friendly and awesome people there if you have family coming into this airport they in good hands.
I loved visiting for the airshow. Sure getting in and around was a pain but I loved all of the jets and the location was very convenient. I have also flown through this small regional airport and highly recommend if you have the chance. Very quick to board.
Good experience on a layover to Philadelphia. Obviously the airport doesnt cater to large amounts of travellers so there is not much in the way of food/drink options available. But, security was friendly and there were ample seats and charging stations (USB compatible) around the various gates.
Its so sad that Stewart no longer offers the direct flights to Europe. Hopefully they will recover after Covid.Edit: Im so glad Stewart has reopened and is now offering more flights! It is a wonderful thing to have a small, close, easy airport which can fly to so many places!
Love fying out of Stewart Airport. Super close non expensive parking. Speedy and short security lines. Very clean space and helpful friendly employees.
So I usually travel out of Westchester or Newark but decided to try Stewart. It hasnt really changed since the last time I fly out about 15 years ago. Still small and I love it. Cozy and convenient, the staff is exceptionally nice. You cant beat the Frontier prices of the flights or parking.
Fantastic airport to fly into and to fly out of. I highly recommend this airport.
Very small, fast airport. Basic canned alcohol or tap beer. Needs a bar.
Nicely run. Very efficient. Check in process much faster
Everything is just so slow here—check in, security screening—even ordering a sandwich at Quizno’s took 20 minutes. On top of that, I had to open my sandwich in front of the screener. Very strange and a first time for me. The people working here are friendly for an airport but on top of being so far from NYC, it takes eons to get to your gate.Shockingly, considering it’s 2018 in the US, my flight left on time-ish.
We experienced no lines, probably because we got there rather early. The TSA agent was very helpful on what we can bring in our bags. Getting to the airport couldnt be easier.
Allegiant air provides the worst customer service Ive ever seen from an airline.. the luxury of flying from Stewart airport is being a small airport and avoiding all the hassle of getting to your flight 2 hrs early to wait.. Allegiant air advertises getting to gate 60 min before flight... Perfectly reasonable except when we arrived 75-85 min before fight to check our bag, no one was there to check it at the front desk. We waited while AA employees who were friendly enough to call and try to assist finding staff.. TSA was also trying to help.. after leaving my husband with the bag finally and going through TSA to the gate, I greeted Roe (the least friendly flight staff Ive ever encountered) and explained that we have a bag that needs to be checked downstairs... At this point it was 45 min exactly until take off.. she repeated that they close the counter 45 min beforehand.. I explained that we have been waiting for the last 25 min for service downstairs and without even looking at me she said well Ive only been here 5 min. You have to bring it through TSA and Ill have to put it on the bottom of the plane. I lost several bottles of liquids/ cosmetics etc bc I had to bring through TSA now and when we finally got back upstairs and boarded the plane we were treated like we completely inconvenienced them. I want to add that we also werent the last to board and then had to wait 25 min after all boarding for take off anyway. What could have been an easy thing for staff to fix turned into a terribly unpleasant experience.
Norwegian Air commenced flying transatlantic flights on June 16th this year into Stewart Intl Airport. I drove there from NYC to collect friends and carry them onward to Maryland. Flight was delayed by 1 hour plus leaving Dublin but when it finally boarded passengers were assured that there would only be a slight delay in the landing time. I arrived at 17:50 and they were already on the ground... super😊NOT😢It then took over an hour for the bags to reach the terminal, a distance of 100 metres or so. It turns out that one of the baggage handlers had an accident and an ambulance had to be called to take him to hospital. I hope hes doing good👍Also a K9, accompanied by police officer, sniffed something illicit in the bags and a thorough check ensued. Both understandable reasons for the delay.Good luck Norwegian we all need a low cost transatlantic carrier😊
New York Air Show was good but the organizers know to charge for parking yet have no clue how to direct the traffic on the way out.We were stuck in massive traffic FOREVER!
Very small different type of airport beside a couple tsa I didnt see any other staffing.
Breast pumping station located at gate 4 for all you pregnant mommies. Love it here. No long lines, no traffic, friendly staff. Close to home.
Great place to travel to and from. Have never had any issues traveling anywhere. Obviously since it is a local airport the rates are much more expensive but you pay for what you want ! Definitely travel out of here if you want convenience and solid organization.
Really easy to get in and out.. snack bar with a place to grab an adult beverage while you wait to board your flight. Security is a breeze as long as your prepared.
Unfortunately the store when you go into the airport wasnt open for us that arrived early and had to check luggage. I still like this airport though!
A small airport, friendly staff, quick and easy in and out.
Small and easy.But gas station food and coffee.
Havent been to this little gem in a couple decades. Maybe a little more! Easiest airport to use ever. Too bad its in Newburgh.
Terrible experience. Not returning until they have staff to accommodate travelers.
Very nice airport. Everything moves fast because is a small airport, only 8 gates.
Excellent small airport, clean. Getting through security is a breeze. It can sometimes be pricy to fly out of here depending on location you’re going to. But far less stressful than going to JFK or Newark.
This is my favourite airport its really friendly
I cursed myself for not checking more thoroughly where my flight was departing from when booking, seeing I would have to take a 90 minute bus ride there from Manhattan. But what you lose on the bus ride you win on the airport, which is small, calm and has fast lanes. Youre at the gate in 15 minutes. The bus ride through NJ is actually quite pleasant. Overall probably the most stress-free experience I had flying out from NYC.
Great airport. It’s small so you never miss your flight and they added a few direct flights to foreign countries. I always fly out from this place.
Nice little airport.very friendly TSA agents. We where bringing our parents ashes home and they where very respectful in everyway with us. We thank them.
Fantastic airport - quick, hassle free. Its so easy to drive to. Once there, simply park, walk a few minutes and then youre at the airport. Its not a big airport, but thats why its just so much easier coming here. The service is friendly and normally as fast as can be expected. Security is normally pretty fast, although not always.
Staff helpful, even the TSA were friendly!Incoming you collect baggage before immigration. Very cramped, but its a small airport. Quickly out without any problems.Outgoing was a bit different. Yes, friendly Norwegian check-in. Fairly quick through security, no great hassle. But I wanted to get something to eat before flying. That is what lets down Stewart.Only one burger restaurant, Euro Cafe, that simply cant cook nor cope with hundreds of passengers. Fries done in ovens rather than fried; they dont have the right equipment! Therefore, queues were long, service slow. There was food presented for a customer sitting on the counter with nobody coming to collect and Id bet they had to leave for a flight! Yes, its that slow.After waiting ten minutes I bought the second last sandwich from the adjacent Hudson News instead of waiting any longer. Went past over half an hour later and the same people were still waiting at Euro Cafe.So my low rating is because there simply isnt anywhere to eat post-security.
Great airport! Always clean and still operating given everything going on. Appalled by the comment from “HeyI’mDawn” like really? All airlines are grounded and you are complaining about no flights available?
Check in and security were extremely fast. The airport is small and really easy to navigate. Only $20 to/from NYC on the bus which is timed to go with each Norwegian Air flight. Definitely flying into here the next time Im going to NYC, its a lot less crowded and stressful than JFK!
Its fast and small but make sure you have a car or something, after 12PM EST on weekends- NO ubers like this area lol
Excellent airport to fly out of. No wait. No issues. All staff was friendly and helpful! I love Stewart Airport and just wish it was cheaper to fly out of because Id use them all the time!
For business travel it worth the few extra dollars for plane tickets and you avoid dealing with metropolitan airports, which are always a hassle. Stewart is fairly small. This makes it very easy to get in and out very quick. Average time from the door to the gate waiting area is 15 minutes. Youre not getting that in Newark or NYC. Security is very fast and professional. There is a strong NY State Police presence adding to the feeling of security and safety. Flight times are limited depending on where you are going so you cant get too picky about when you leave and if you are going to non-direct locations your going to need a connecting flight. Again for personal travel this might be a hassle, but since most if not all my travel is business I dont find this too bad. There is no free WiFi and thats a bit frustrating. Flights usually are on time and baggage pickup is very easy. Food options are limited so eat ahead of the time. Parking is ample and reasonably priced. For business travel I recommend SWF. Less hassle. Closer to the Upper Hudson Valley. And fairly good flight options.
Review of Stewart International Airport, Newburgh, N.Y..7 gates and is very easy to get in and out of. My last arrival from Europe, wheels down to unlocking my car door....10 minutes! Norwegian has daily budget flights to Edinburgh, Dublin, and Bergen. My round trip ticket to Dublin was $350. Parking is $10 a day and is a short walk from the only terminal. I would recommend eating at one of the many chain restaurants a few miles from the airport. Food selection post security is very poor and low quality. Food lines can be long and slow. There is a bar as well with reasonable prices. They run shuttle buses from Manhattan, I dont know the fare but its probably reasonable.
Stewart International Airport is a great airport. Although its smaller than the other airport the level of service is brilliant. The staff there are quick and efficient. When checking in and out of the airport it took no more than 5 minutes to do so (I had carry on bags only). I was very impressed.
Stewart airport is a hidden gem. Does not disappoint, look forward to the day when theres more airlines, flights, and destinations.
Upon returning from my trip my car, which was parked in Long Term Parking, would not start! Stephanie was working in the ticket booth and was so kind and friendly! She immediately contacted Victor, the Terminal Supervisor and invited me to wait in a warm place since temps were below freezing. Victor arrived within minutes and quickly jump started my car and got me on my way! Everyone was fast, efficient and most important they were so nice that it made what could have been a nightmare very pleasant for me. Put a smile on my face! Thank you
Tiny airportsome good points - cheaper to fly into/out ofStaff friendly and helpful, shorter lines through security.Not so good - baggage delivery super slow , bus into nyc is very dated and expect 2 hours after landing will arrive midtown, long lines for bar/ shop at airport .Overall I would pay the extra 50 to 100 $ to fly with a different airline to JFK or Newark in future. Norwegian airlines ok but if you go basic package don’t expect much
While the Airport itself is easy and quick to get thought, the bus ride to NYC was a nightmare. We landed at 5 pm bus finally left for the City at 6.17, we got to Port Authority at 8 .50pm. The driver drove too slow and didnt seem to be very experienced. This didnt go down well after a 7 hour flight.
A nice little airport but the security side of things needs to work on engaging with the public as they enter - most of us are tourists bringing money to your economy and are not criminals! Small man syndrome seems to be the norm with security check-in employees. Just go with the flow and ride out the ignorant treatment - there is a lot to enjoy in the USA. Returning to the UK we were treated as expected.
Very Cold airport, No heat, very uncomfortable if you have long delays. If you fly using American Airlines into Philadelphia for your connecting flight, be prepared for a delay. The delays can last for hours...
Offers absolutely no real service anywhere! This review begins with Piedmont Airlines (carrier for American Eagle). Their antiquated system goes down and flights to my connecting city are cancelled after 5 hours sitting in a terminal. Where the airport review comes in is that they have little to no carriers flying out of there so you have no options if something goes wrong. In my opinion this is a complete waste of taxpayer dollars and should be closed!
I love Stewart - Ive been using it on and off for 20yrs and it gets better constantly...There are only 8 gates, and a handful of flights in and out - so sometimes it can be a bit empty, but otherwise it is really easy to get in and out of here.Rental cars on onsite, and there a few places to grab a sandwich (a few being 2).Much better than the big airports -
Small airport, security is a breeze, luggage pickup is down the stairs and either to the right or left of the stairs depending on your gate....decent snack selection, but if youre picky buy before you get to the airport.
Long east west runway.. 2+ miles and helpful air traffic controllers. Never a problem to come in for a few touch and goes. Traffic pattern altitude 1500 feet.also has a North / South runway. Great summer air show with Blue Angels last summer.
Quick in& out for arrive
Have been to many airports, and have seen some things. This airport is as clean as I am used to at Schiphol Airport (Amsterdam - The Netherlands). Staff is friendly, and correct. There is enough choice in rentals: Budget, Avis, Enterprise, Hertz. Good connection by road to the 84.
Nice small Airport with one food shop..
The airport is fine dont get me wrong, but its sooooooo far! Its not at all convenient and the bus waits forever before it takes off, Ive been sitting for over 40 minutes waiting for other passengers! What a miserable way to come home; oh, and Norwegian airline is not that much better, no T.V or Foods and drinks offered!
Don’t bother, if your looking for a cheap trip to NYC don’t forget factor in your two hour coach trip each way and your time. Latest coach to leave NYC is 4pm flight is 8:45pm to EDI. 40$ return each. A taxi is around 200$ each way, a young girl ran for coach, they let her on, it was 4:01pm!Staff at security rude, check in weighed my hand luggage and charged me 30$ for being of by 2 kilos... however the Latin ladies with loads of hand luggage, chatting in Spanish where not weighed. Nothing at the airport, very dated and smelly toilets!(Norwegian airlines)
Flew here from dublin, very cute. only issue is that the USB outlets were broken and the food served at the cafe was quite bad and overpriced for it to be microwaved. Other than that its probably the smallest airport Ive ever been too
My flight was delayed 2 hours. I wanted to buy something to eat, I ordered pizza for 10$ but nobody told me, the pizza is of the size of a donut. Then I wanted to buy some snacks, but there are no prices, so I couldnt. I tried to ask somebody for help, I am losing my connection because of the delay, but nobody wanted to help me. I am very unhappy with the workers here. By the way it so small, I cant do anything during I wait for my delayed flight. I even cant go to smoke. I definitely dont recommend to come here.
Hands DOWNOne of the best airport AROUNDGreat securityGreat staffZero tolerance on those who have disaplinanary issues. Dont fly here if your a trouble maker or uncontrollable kids. You know who you are. You wont get far on the plane.Unlike the zoo at Kennedy airport or Newark or LaGuardia airport.Other then that, love this airport.
Stewart Airport is convenient, low-key, and pleasant to fly in or out of. I choose Stewart whenever I fly between New York and Florida. One of the best and least-crowded airports that I have seen. Recommended.
We drive 2.5 hours to get here. COMPLETELY WORTH IT.
This is a cute, little airport - as long as you dont plan on flying out of here.I recently needed a rental car for a long-distance drive and used Avis, located inside the terminal. I used the airport long-term parking to leave my personal vehicle while I used the rental car. I was able to park close to Avis and walk there. It was especially convenient because the long-term parking lot was nearly empty since Stewart doesnt do much business because of the insanely high prices and chasing away all of the major airline carriers.I give it 3 stars because the place is very clean. Ive picked up people from the airport in the past and every time, the floors, seating areas, etc. are all immaculate. Although, when you have no customers, its probably much easier to keep it clean.Ive shopped for flights out of Stewart Airport and the prices are insanely high (usually double the prices elsewhere). They advertise round-trip flights to Florida for $99. However, I shopped online (several months in advance) for 2 round-trip tickets to FLL for early March, and it was $1200. We ended up driving down to LGA to fly to Florida.This was not the first instance. The last 3x I flew to Florida over a several year period, I drove to NYC, despite living just 10 minutes away from Stewart. Each time, it saved me well over $600 by taking the drive to NYC.Another problem with flying to Florida out of SWF are they have very few flights coming in and out. If you are coming back from a cruise or checking out of a hotel at a certain time, you could end up sitting around all day waiting for the only flight coming to SWF.In some rare cases, SWF might have the correct flight and maybe a random reasonable price for people. But for most people, this is not the case -- which is why the airport is a ghost town.
Once just a air force base for c5s, now is orange countys airport. Small but efficient and very convenient for those traveling to or from orange county. Historic note: this airport was a designated alternative landing site for the space shuttle as it has a longer than usual runway.
Goodness gracious, if you have an early morning flight, dont expect to get to your hate within a timely manner. Security check point was supposed to be up and running at 0400. They didnt open till half after. They arent friendly, whatsoever. It was unfortunate that I had to fly into and out of Stewart.
Cant really handle international travel needs, long queues on all services to the point you run risk of missing flights. Take food with you as the cafe/ eateries are the worst organised and run I have ever encountered. Love flying Norwegian, but out of Stewart is just pure incompetence.
Unless they turn around business operations real fast - looks like Allegiant Air is headed for the fall, Last 2 flights either cancelled or delayed.I fly a lot. Bad recent press. Ive been happy with their service for years, but not this year. Difficult to keep optimistic. Stewart airport is fine.
Other reviewers complaints about excess security isnt the SWF airport. Thats the federal government, TSA.Food is the vendor corps, not SWF airport.Its a nice enough airport but I think big mistake moving the car rental lot an eighth of a mile down the street.It isnt THAT far to walk, for a healthy near-age-60. But with LUGGAGE and in the RAIN, in the DARK, that was an idiotic change (made 2 months ago). That seems uncaring of passengers who need rental cars. No sidewalk canopy. No short hop shuttle. My clothes were merely damp not soaked.
Wow. Everyone was so worried about us flying out of this airport since it was so “far away,” but getting here was really no big deal. We took the Hudson line and then a Lyft from Beacon. So easy. No hassle. Getting through security was a breeze. Definitely would recommend.
Was there for New York Air Show 2019 featuring British Royal Air Force -Red Arrows
Flying from Stewart Airport is a delight! Staff are always pleasant and accommodating. Unloading or loading travelers is a breeze, along with convenient parking next to terminal. Very limited eateries within the airport, however there are assorted eateries within a 3 mile radius of airport. Taxis are available but forewarning to call their office for fare pricing or be exploited. Best of all Uber now serving airport and that can be arranged before flying. A 5 mile runway!Air tubulance has been the only drawback and can be bit of a bump or two.Preserve the historic name of Stewart International Airport out of respect for many generations of ancestors were attached to the 105 Squadron of the Air National Guard in Newburgh. Yes, “The Town of Newburgh.” It’s one thing to change land boundaries to change address to New Windsor, NY, but let’s have some integrity and keep the name.
Lovely little airport with very friendly staffs. Wonderful!
Very small, no stress in departing. Limited services such as restaurants and shops but easy to get to and take off and Park!!! Cheaper parking then westchester airport. Wish more flights took off daily from here.
Just went in to return a vehicle at stewart airport there was man standing outside with an attitude stating we could not park there which we were not parking there we were returning keys to car rental. Then he waived me out the door as if I was a pet. Very rude individual and when I asked his name he refused to give it to me and stated he was terminal supervisor. I would never refer any one to this airport due to his ignorance. And this is why due to individuals like him people dont stay local for airports. I will contact the bbb and as well corporate regarding his attitude. Please all that consider dont travel through this place unless you like to ve disrespected.
Airport does not care enough about their customers to provide a way to get to airport thru airshow traffic! Took over 1 hour from airport entrance! This event takes place every year so plan ahead - since clearly they do not!
I use this airport to... Well, fly to places. And from where I live, Ive got Dutchess County Airport as my closest one. But Im a man who likes to drive, go see things, so I go to this airport.Very nice little airport. Youve got your diners, gift shops, terminals, everything youd expect at an airport.
We literally has no problems, my 79 yr old mother was flying and TSA officers were very patient, helping her as needed.I highly recommend using Stewart International Airport!
My family lives between Albany and stewart airport. I love going in to stewart more. all the staff is very well trained and very helpful. I am disabled, the staff is wonderful to give me extra help. I live in California and travel about every two years to see my family since 1978. but unfortunately sometimes I fly into Albany because it cost less at certain times of the year. I am headed that way in June 2016. because of the short runway. when the plan lands it has to stop a little quicker. and being bumpy, you get that at every airport. just think as a ride in a old school bus ride on a back road. besides only small planes are able to land there. with a small plane you feel every bump. I fly often, STEWART is at the top of my list! THIS IS A 5 STAR SMALL AIRPORT
Parked practically at the gate, the only line is for food if youre buying it, theyll catch up. Clean, pleasant, crazy convenient. Norwegian prices made my irish vacation so affordable. Would definitely recommend for those who hate the traffic and nightmare of long island.
Its convenient airport due to proximity. The ticket prices to fly in and out of this airport are usually more than what it will cost to fly from HPN or JFK. The worse part of this airport is no WiFi. I have been to Vanuatu. Sure its a island country in the Pacific. Sure its road system is almost non existent but you know what their airport has? Free WiFi. Absolutely ridiculous that this airport doesnt have free WiFi.
Great airport the only issue is that the shuttle leading to NYC is circulating only in the evening and if you decide to stay in a hotel for the night because of a late flight and want to go to the big Apple the day after as we did it means that you might have to wait for hours until the next bus to NYC. If that happens to you I highly recommend to take the bus to Beacon and then the train to GCT which is an amazing ride along the Hudson Valley.
The good news: despite its driving distance, Stewart is by far the most convenient, cheapest, quickest and best place to fly in and out of NYC of all four major airports. The bad news: there are few flights that go where you want to go and they usually cost more. Whenever possible we book out of Stewart (which unfortunately isnt often) or its little brother Westchester airport. Even if I lived in NYC, I would rather drive an hour to Stewart than go to Newark, La Guardia or Kennedy. Stewart has plenty of cheap parking, is easy to get in and out of with no traffic and has a quick and uncrowded TSA line. It just doesnt have flights to where we want to go. Let your NY legislators -and The Donald know that you you want to relieve congestion at the other airports and add more routes to Steward.
We travel a fair amount. While other reviewers pint to the cleanliness I can say that it is clean. However, that doesnt overcome the rude, unresponsive staff and ridiculous lines due to understaffing at shops and airline kiosks. The lines are not short. The wrap on until passengers are left with nowhere to wrap around to. Stick to the devil you know rather than the devil you dont (i.e. LGA, JFK or Newark)
Arrive early. There are only 2 TSA check points. It takes a while to get through. There is not much of a difference between TSA precheck and the regular line.There are very few electrical outlets in the terminal. Make sure your electronics are charged.
First experience of Stewart was excellent coming in from Edinburgh! Baggage was delivered promptly and passport control staff pleasant. Sure you have to wait in the bus while everyone is cleared, but we landed at 7.30pm and I was in my apartment in Manhattan by 10pm with a cab from Port Authority. Practically the same as from JFK or EWR without the endless treck to baggage claim and crowds at immigration and lines for cabs or even waiting for a car. It was barely 100 yards from carousel to bus!I fly out again at the end of the month. Hope the reverse trip is as good.And Norwegian is a 5 STAR airline!!Having done JFK, CDG, and LGW on their Dreamliners that is an experience way ahead of any other airline at present. And the price is one helluva bonus!!
TSA is the worst they ripped through a $4000 jacket ripped the lining open search the inside it smashed up an iPad put a sticker on it that they search the bag and there’s absolutely nothing you can do about it. If you want the items in your suitcase destroyed fly through Stewart airport.
Only place to eat downstairs is Quiznos, six electric ourlets in the whole first floor so good luck trying to charge your phone, not even close to enough chairs to sit in while waiting for the ticket counters to open. Like flying Norwegian but this airport is not at all acceptable.
I, personally, prefer Stewart. Any time I have flown out of there, the prices have been reasonable if not cheaper than going to the city, Albany or NJ. Even if Stewart is $100.00 more a ticket, it makes no sense to drive anywhere else. Its 15 min from my house, it will take more than $100.00 back and forth to the city 4 times. Never crowded.
This is the airport (SWF) to use when traveling to or from the Hudson Valley region of New York State, primarily because it lacks the congestion experienced at Newark (EWR) and especially LaGuardia (LGA). Long runways, similar to Bangor, ME, due to military requirements for which it was originally designed. Beacon is the nearest Metro-North rail station. Use Poughkeepsie for Amtrak services. Both Beacon and Poughkeepsie are on the other (or eastern) side of the Hudson River.
LOVE this airport! Very helpful and friendly staff, no long lines, easy to get to and clean. Just wish there were more flights out to Florida.
I picked someone up. Plane was on time. Easy in, easy out. Nice little airport!
A small and very efficient airport for international flights with Norwegian. Great service and attitude from the staff at the airport. Very refreshing experience compared to the large international airports around NY.
Check-in was on the door using cell phone. I showed up early and they had me loaded right after my appt. time
Great airport ... Clean, quiet, easy parking. They have an annual air show which we have attended. Signature aviation is a great FBO for general aviation.
The airport isnt to bad but it is pretty busy, considering how small it is. I live about 30 minutes away from here so it is convenient. The place itself is small though. It mostly doubles as an Air Force base with C5s, C17s, and C130s. It also has a spot for private jets such as Cessna CJ2s and stuff. It is conveniently placed it the center of Newburgh and the best part is Orange County Choppers (OCC) is right next to the airport. OCC is the show that was once on the Discovery channel. Its not a bad airport.
Small airport and friendly staff. Beautiful area/scenery.
Great airport. Easy parking. Very convenient.
Dont check a bag. Youll wait 45 minutes for the ground crew to unload it and get it to baggage claim.Rental cars are pretty close to to baggage claim exit which is good so when you finally get your bag you can leave.
Dane, at ENTERPRISE car rentals NY Stewart International Airport facility, did an excellent job of correcting my mistake & providing a superb rental experience. Thank you Dane & Enterprise!
Fantastic airport experience! Employees are all so friendly. Would fly out of here over any other NYC airport in a heartbeat!
Small international airport. Easy to navigate. Cheap long term parking. Regular buses to Port Authority NYC. No great shopping or bars.
I had excellent experience with Enterprise rent car on August 22-23, 2017 .Adam Cypes & Sara were very professional & helpful. I will rent a car again from Enterprise in Stewart Airport again.Sam Kermanni
The completely absurd and redundant check in procedure for international flights aside, my main complaint is in regards to the incredibly rude security guard who I had the pleasure of working with. I think she was trying to help me to begin with, but she didn’t make anything clear and, after 10+ hours of traveling (and hours before packing) and spending 45 minutes trying to secure my luggage and wait in line for the asinine self check in system, I needed more to work with than “I’m helping you, ma’am.” I’d like to point out that, at no point was I rude or spoke up to this woman; I probably looked like I was ready to scream, but I never said anything. This woman then proceeded to repeatedly tell me that “patience is a virtue” and “everybody else waited” and that I needed to be more patient. Then, when I finally made it away from this troll, she started immediately speaking in rapid Spanish to the men I’d just walked past. I don’t speak Spanish, and could definitely have been just so upset I’m projecting, but I can’t imagine how that wasn’t about me. I was so angry that I wanted to march right back in and demand her name. My entire experience at Stewart was stressful, and this woman made it so much worse. I do not recommend.
Easy to get to. The parking lot is like a Walmart lot. Small and easy to get to check in. No line in security. Small and convenient airport. Not busy at all.
Great quick service, clean, wonderful personal, cant wait to fly out of this airport more often.
My grandson left his wallet on the plane and authorities made a point of finding it for him right away.. very thoughtful.
Very nice regional airport. Just as easy to get to from a Manhattan. Easy parking and very friendly folks.
I have travelled all over the world and this is by far the worst airport I have been to!The queues are horrendous, staff are unhelpful and it is boiling hot!Pay the extra to fly from Newark or JFK.
Has direct flights to florida. Very fast security line because of size. $10/d parking directly in front of terminal.
Nice small airport. Super fast baggage claim delivery & car rental, since it’s not big enough to be busy.
I enjoy flying out of this airport because it doesn’t have the heavy traffic like the city airports have. I have always enjoyed it here at Stewart.
Everything was smooth and relaxing.
The amount of times I visit New York with family and business trips I will say that it is a very nice airport everyone is just so calm and helpful.ThanksMr Yates
Tiny airport not yet ready for the big crowds it is attracting. One shop, one enormous line for water, food, beer, sundries.
Best little airport in NY. Everything goes smoothly with less people and very clean.
Very nice area to wait to get on the airplane. You can see the other flights taking off and that is always neat!
Ok airport, BUT the airport food was disgusting. Bring your own food, this was terrible. The cheese wasn’t melted, the fries wasn’t fried and the bread was as a stone.
Clean and the new update is awesome. More flights, yet more people yet still runs on time with no delay
Always a pleasure landing here
Cell phone lot not labeled as such, small, quaint, not the worst airport
Love this airport, it’s small, and convenient as I live in wappingers falls. We always fly out of Stewart.
Easy to get too,lots of close parking, very clean,...nice small airport
Slowest, most incompetent security checkpoint I have EVER been through in my life. Only upside to this airport in my opinion is that its clean and its close to home.
Fast and efficient. Rapidly becoming a hub for Norwegian Airlines 737-800 and MAX-8 flights to Europe.
Freindly staff from the moment we arrived. Also the security walking around were freindly and approachable. Would definitely use this airport again.
Easy to get-to & only $10/day for parking. $250 each-way to Edinburgh, Scotland on Norweigian Airlines. What-a-deal.
Handy airport but service at Quiznos is very very slow (dont go there if youre in a hurry)
Swart international Airport was okay when I traveled California to NewYourkAnd someone was at gate to help me what Ever I needed
I wish I could fly everywhere from this tiny airport. Everyone - TSA, desk folks, actual airline staff - is so warm and nice every time I fly from here.
The only restaurant passing security have very limited options, not to say it is too expensive for the presentation and quality of the food. The staff was nice and polite.
Really fast, friendly staff
Landed there late at night, really couldnt say, other than the pilots flying there seems to be on drugs the way they decent speeding down on that airport. airport needs to be kept up a bit too.
Dont treat customers well at all and has got to be one of the only airports that closes at night and doesnt let you stay if you need to overnight
What a great airport.easy in and out,great parking,no bar,food is limited. I use it all the time.
A great NY airport to help you avoid the big 3 if you can. If the price and flight is right, you cant beat the convenience.
Stewar international Airport is Awesome for Quick Flights to Florida and other destinations
I love this airport! I went here for my first plane ride and absolutely loved it!!!
Within 2 minutes of opening they had already pulled three bags to rummage through. Laptop bag was pulled and only searched my computer... WHICH WASNT EVEN IN THAT BAG. No one explained what was going on either. I dont know what kind of game theyre playing but never have I experienced such absurd workers.
Seems like a decent small airport but Internet wifi not working. When your flight is delayed that stinks
The absolute best for business travel. Zero hassle and the most polite staff from the second you step in the door until the second you step on the plane.
Only flies to Detroit, so unless you are going to Detroit, you will have to make a connection. In current air travel, this means you will almost certainly be late wherever you are going
I have been using Stewart whenever possible its close to home love the smaller place. Everything is easy from here and everyone you deal with is pleasant
Be careful of security when multiple flights are boarding. It can take awhile to get through.
Needs better signs showing what way for car rentals location, if you come in roloving door location.
Wish spirit flew into Stewart. Love this airport.
Post office has lots of parking and pleasant counter people.
Easy in, easy out for picking up. So much better than Newark!!!!!
A small area airport. Expect the bare minimum.
I like the small air port and that is what I us when I can.
Very friendly staff. No hiccups checking in. Clean and take-off was on time
All great except seats are uncomfortable
Euro Cafe staff friendly and fries were WARM. 5 stars because of this.
Excellent clean efficient all good easy to find your way around
Nice airport, clean and quick
Great staff and fastest clearance through courteous US Customs ever. Only way to fly !
My experience at the airport, couldnt have gone better
Just wish all of the other airlines would start flying back out of Stewart
The New York airshow is hosted here.
The TSA staff here work like theyre all on quaaludes. Any day now guys.
Easy to get to and soooo convenient!
Very small airport easy to get around
Wonderful friendly staff cold beer nice and small
Amazing trip. Will look into using Stewart more.
Checking in with Delta, no one was there waited over and hour ridiculous service. need more people working.
It’s so tiny, sad to hear it’s not international anymore since Norwegian Air left.
Sweet and simple little airport, very clean, friendly staff.
Very nice airport and only 10 minutes from my place
Nice small airport !
Thanks to the TSA for without fail being the worst part of my day everytime I fly.
Easy
Just need little renovation which I see they are doing now .More airlines should come through here .
Nice and easy. Easy in easy out. No problems
If I could leave no stars I would. Car rental is horrible had no cars. Joke.
Nice clean hotel, close to I-84 and food.
I love this tiny airport saved me the trouble of going back to LaGuardia
Easy, peasy no not cheesy. Great
Its a strip of concrete with a building next to it. Simple, easy, quick and not too far from the city. Works for me.
Front desk clerk very nice, the room, towel rack broke very features
Nice, small, quick. My preference from the Hudson Valley.
Clean and workers very pleasant.
Good airport. Small
Weather arriving or departing its a breeze and sometimes rather fun. Kinda homey feeling.

2022-04-12Great little airport.Super clean, staff amazingly jovial and helpful, going through security was a breeze.Just 1 terminal with the 6 gates one next to each other so super easy to find yours.Comfortable seats in the waiting area and plugs that actually work!It seems the only place where you can get a coffee opens around 9am

2022-01-17Love flying out of Stewart airport because it’s always empty! There is never a line at security and the parking is small and quick and easy! The cafeteria is small but they do offer burgers and fries and a nice variety of cafe drinks. They also have pre-made sandwiches and yogurts and parfaits to go.. lots of magazines and books and travel stuff! Highly recommend SWF

2021-07-20Love this airport. Security and getting to your gate is quick since it’s a small airport. Flies to many southern locations like South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. Look forward to seeing this airport grow after the pandemic cancelled basically all of its routes except for Allegiant. The planes landing there always fly over my house especially the cargo Boeing 747. Sometimes I like to go airplane spotting here. Just a tip, in the future you guys should add a designated airplane spotting location.

2022-03-04Pretty empty and clean. TSA procedures were easy. Frontier baggage and check in staff could use some customer service training though. They are as hospitable as folks that work in Jamaican restaurants. If you know… you’ll know.

2022-06-12Airport is nice. Parking is easy. Security abysmal. I’m not sure if this is where they train new TSA agents or where they send the old ones. Every bag gets flagged and security backs up. Do not buy any toiletries to take with you they will all be tossed. Your toothpaste will be weighed. Your bag will be ransacked trying to find anything that looks “suspicious”. If this helps you feel safer about flying then maybe it’s a plus for you?

2022-04-23Literally serves two flights and can’t get the bags off in a timely manner. The terminal has nothing. Low cost and high parking fees. Never will I fly from here again and don’t get me started on Frontier. Yikes

2022-03-22Really nice, relaxed airport. The TSA employees are very friendly and easy going. The same cant be said of Frontier Airline ticket agents. Not pleasant at all. But this is about Stewart... Immaculate bathroom, nice place to buy food/drink/magazines, etc... Nothing much else here just clean and comfortable gates.

2022-06-24We flew out of Stewart on the new Play airlines on the morning of June 10th. It was an all around good experience. The airport was easy to locate, road signs were easy to follow to ample long term parking. We were greeted on entering and all our questions were answered. The TSA agents were professional and pleasant. Everything went very smoothly and on time coming and going. Highly recommend this nice little airport.

2022-03-18Love this airport, used to live in Newburgh now in Tampa. We would have to fly from Clearwater and face the potential risks of Allegiant cancellations but Frontier started service here. Awesome crew, clean airport and very quick and easy to get through. So glad they are resuming flights to Europe and rebuilding!

2022-04-20So much more pleasant then any other local airport. I will only use this airport from here on out. Super clean. Everyone who works there is a pleasure to deal with. Never a line. Well oiled machine. Top notch.
