Travel Information

Stony Brook is located on the North Shore of Long Island approximately 100km from New York City and is served by 3 major airports (JFK and LaGuardia are recommended). A local smaller airport (Long Island, MacArthur) is only 10km from the Wyndham Hotel and 15km from campus. Limousine service is available from all airports. The campus has direct service from the Long Island Rail Road, and is also easily reachable by car. We plan to provide a limited number of conference buses from JFK and LaGuardia airports on Sunday, January 14 and back on Saturday, January 20. The schedule will be announced once the demand and travel schedules of participants are known.

Reservations for conference shuttle buses, airport buses, and parking stickers are now closed. Hotel rooms are still available at the Wyndham Hotel - please reserve directly by email lesposito@wyndham.com and indicate you are associated with Quark Matter. Please watch this web site for bus schedules which will be posted after January 2.

  • Airports serving Long Island. The closest is the Islip Airport, however it tends to be expensive and not a direct route. Both Kennedy and La Guardia International airports are recommended. The Newark International Airport is not recommended due to its location and greater distance from Stony Brook.

  • You can book transportation to and from the airport through Spartan Limo by calling 631-928-5454. Spartan Limo is the recommended service since it is cheap and reliable.
