The Route: Southampton to JFK

Southampton is closer to JFK than towns further east like East Hampton or Montauk. The drive covers roughly 90 miles and takes 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours 15 minutes under normal traffic. The route heads west on Sunrise Highway (Route 27), connects to Southern State Parkway, then Belt Parkway to JFK.

Traffic reality: Summer Sunday afternoons see heavy westbound traffic, but Southampton's western location means you clear the worst congestion sooner. Still, add buffer time for Sunday evening flights during peak season.
