Leros Point to Point Limousine from all area airports to the Hilton Mystic Hotel. Rates are based on 4 people per car. They will take reservations via phone (1-800-496-3811) or email, reservations@leroslimo.com, and will try to fill cars to capacity which may mean people will have to wait at the airport for awhile. But be forewarned if, for example, 2 people are at JFK Airport, and no one else is arriving within a "reasonable time", the cost of the entire fare will be divided between 2 passengers (ex: $235/fare for 2 equals $117.50 each.)

Leros rates include all fees except an added 20% gratuity. Reservations 1-800-496-3811 or Email: reservations@leroslimo.com

Groton/New London Airport (GON) (Groton, CT) - very small, connections available through PanAm and USAir. Approximately 15 minute drive to the Hilton Mystic Hotel.

1. Taxi
   
   
2. Rental Car - Avis (the only agency with a counter in terminal), Hertz, (will bring car to terminal), and Budget.

Bradley Airport (BDL) (Hartford, CT, 63 miles from Mystic). Ground transportation from BDL is limited. Rental car or limos are the only real options for transport to the New London/Mystic area. An intermediate option (not recommended) is a limo to the train.

Logan Airport (BOS) (Boston, MA, 110 miles from Mystic). Ground transportation options are more extensive, but this is quite a distance from Mystic and most transport will involve connections that are not convenient or time effective. Connecting to train or bus service from Logan necessitates getting from Logan to South Station. On this site, there are options listed for buses, but read carefully here for caveats, such as contacting the bus lines directly to ensure accuracy of the information which is subject to change.

Connecting from Logan to Mystic options:

1. Limo/cab (see Boston Limousine for information as an example), costing about $53 for a limo for up to 3 persons to the train station for a connection to Mystic via train.

2. Bus (via the “T” subway— see below). The Logan website lists 6 companies running bus service to South Station , but be careful because Bonanza does not offer Logan to South Station bus service anymore. One option says that Dartmouth Coach runs from “New London”, but be aware that this is New London, New Hampshire, not New London, Connecticut. See also Greyhound Bus.

3. Subway For a nostagic journey on the oldest "underground" in the US. try the MBTA subway (affectionately known as the “T”) which runs from Logan to downtown Boston, where connections are available to South Station. There is free shuttle bus service between the airport terminals and the ‘T’ (MBTA Blue Line) Airport subway stop. Travel to State Street, then switch over to the (MBTA Orange line) to Downtown Crossing. At Downtown Crossing switch over to the (MBTA Red Line) and get off at South Station
   
   See, subway map for help to South Station, from which Greyhound and Amtrak operate, each with connections to Mystic, Connecticut. This is a lot of switching and hauling of luggage (up and down underground levels and on/off of crowded subway trains).

4. Amtrak Train (via the “T” subway—see above) from Boston South Station to New London, Connecticut, Union Station. See Amtrak destinations and schedules, times, & prices.

1. Train: Amtrak (Penn Station) or Metro North (Grand Central); see Train links for further schedule information. Metro North is recommended as better in terms of on-time performance, although a connection to Amtrak in New Haven, Connecticut needs to be made to travel to New London.
   From New London, see local taxi information.



2. Bus and limo options also available from either airport web site (see also Ground transportation options from airport links above for each).

1. Train: AirTrain fares to Newark Penn Station (to connect to Amtrak) are $6.80-$8.10 for the 5 min ride, or $11.55 to NYC Penn Station (another Amtrak connection) for the slightly longer ride.
   
   
2. Bus: Olympia Airport Express shuttle bus which provides transport to NY Penn Station (Amtrak connections), or Grand Central Station in NYC (for Metro North connections). All are either $12 one way or $19 round trip, with the round trip valid for 60 days after purchase of ticket.
   
   
3. Limo: Limo to train from airports (JFK, Laguardia, Bradley, or Newark)
   Leros Point to Point Limo - direct to the Hilton Mystic Hotel
   Connecticut Limousine from JFK, Laguardia, Bradley, or Newark is a last resort. Note: travelers must get to New Haven, Connecticut to catch a train along the seashore to Mystic. Fares vary ($51 one way from JFK/LGR, $34 for Bradley, $63 for Newark. Investigate the round trip options which are a better value if you qualify for using the tickets within the valid time frame).
