About Westchester County Airport (HPN)
HPN’s IATA code is HPN and its ICAO code is KHPN. The airport is located approximately 3.5 miles northeast of downtown White Plains in Harrison, New York. Originally established in 1919 as a grass airstrip, HPN has grown into a fully certified FAA primary commercial service airport serving millions of passengers annually across Westchester, Fairfield County CT, and the broader Hudson Valley region.
Three major commercial carriers serve HPN in 2026 JetBlue Airways, American Airlines, and Delta Air Lines connecting Westchester travellers to popular domestic hubs and leisure destinations including Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, Atlanta, Charlotte, Chicago, and Boston. In addition, HPN is a significant private and charter aviation hub, serving NetJets, Tradewind Aviation, and numerous corporate flight departments.
HPN Terminal Layout — Simple, Compact & Easy to Navigate
HPN operates a single terminal across three levels making it one of the most navigable airports in the Northeast. There are no confusing multi-terminal connections, no tram rides, and no long hikes between gates. Everything is centralized, clearly signposted, and walkable within minutes.
Ground Level — Arrivals & Baggage Claim
Arriving passengers deplane and proceed directly to baggage claim on the ground floor. The entire deplaning-to-baggage process typically takes under 15 minutes. Ground Transportation including Sky Sprint Limo pickups is located directly outside the terminal entrance, making arrivals fast and simple.
Second Level — Departures & Check-In
All airline check-in counters and baggage drop are located on Level 2, along with the TSA Security checkpoint. Two screening lanes are available, including a TSA PreCheck lane. Therefore, security wait times at HPN are consistently among the shortest in the New York region often under 10 minutes even during peak hours.
Upper Level — Gates, Dining & Retail
Gates 1 through 6 are located on the upper level, alongside the Aviator Café, a full-service bar and restaurant, a gift shop, and a newsstand. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout all levels. HPN’s six gates comfortably serve its current flight volume, creating a relaxed pre-departure atmosphere that frequent travelers deeply appreciate.
HPN Airport Arrivals — What to Expect
For domestic arrivals, the process at HPN is refreshingly simple. After landing, passengers deplane through a jetway at most gates and walk directly to baggage claim on the ground floor. Checked luggage typically reaches the carousel within 15 to 20 minutes of landing.
If you are picking up an arriving passenger, HPN provides a free Cell Phone Waiting Lot just outside the Terminal. We recommend arriving approximately 20 minutes after the scheduled landing time to allow for deplaning and baggage collection. However, the most seamless option is a Sky Sprint Limo meet and greet service your chauffeur waits inside the terminal with a name sign, assists with luggage, and escorts your guest directly to your luxury vehicle.
HPN Airport Departures — Step-by-Step Guide
