Getting there
John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) is 73 km (45 mi) away. Build a real transfer window into the arrival day and do not schedule anything important before midday.
The centre of Fairfield is 2.3 km (1.4 mi) away, which is a taxi rather than a walk and a reason to publish an arrival map.
Fairfield has 8 venues mapped in total and a population of 59,052. The Fairfield guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
