On the way from Manhattan to Islip, I am debating between a cab (if I choose the early morning flight) or Hampton Jitney if I take an afternoon flight.
The concierge at the Hilton New York expressed doubt that a taxi would go to Islip. Does anyone know if that is true and does anyone remember the cost if they have taken this trip.
Thanks for any help.
The Jitney seems like a bad idea. They have limited bus service and they leave you at Exit 60 on the LIE on the southeast corner of the service road and Ronkonoma Avenue. There is no cover so if it's raining, you'll get wet. But they WILL recommend a taxi service....isn't that nice?
I would take the LIRR to Ronkonkoma and then take the shuttle. But if you prefer car service, it will be pricey. It's up to you. Either way, it's a long trip. Bring good reading material.
