How does the west bank change the route?

Kingston's Thruway interchange gives a fast run south to the New York City airports, especially Newark.

For Newark in particular, staying on the west side avoids crossing the Hudson twice. For JFK and LaGuardia the choice between the Thruway and the east-bank routes depends on the hour, and the recommended departure time in your quote reflects that.

Stewart International is close enough from Kingston that it is worth checking whether a regional flight beats a long drive to the city airports.

What about the train?

Rhinecliff-Kingston station is across the Kingston-Rhinecliff Bridge, and station transfers are a common Kingston booking.

The bridge crossing is short but the station approach is steep and narrow, so pickups there are pre-arranged with an agreed meeting point.

Corporate travel, uptown and Rondout pickups, and Catskills-edge journeys.
