Westchester County Airport

White Plains, United States · North America

White Plains put 2,303,474 people through a 96,000 sq ft, four-gate field in 2025: easy when you use the two-hour clock, eat before TSA, tap OMNY on Bee-Line 12, and accept there is still no lounge.

Most important tips

Know before you go

A compact traveler cheat sheet for timing, terminals, food, and disruption checks.

Timing

Arrive 2 hours early — TSA hours are unpublished

Official homepage and airlines page ask for at least two hours. Official screening pages do not print checkpoint clock hours or a wait tile.

PreCheck enrollment via CLEAR sits landside by bags Monday–Friday 5 a.m.–1 p.m. CLEAR+ lanes on clearme.com were stamped currently closed on 12 Sep 2026. Four gates can be scheduled at once.

Layout

One building, four live gates, 240-pax half-hour cap

Ticketing, TSA, and the holdroom share one 96,000 sq ft terminal. Wikipedia reprint six gates / four at a time matches the Terminal Use Regulations.

HNTB’s March 2026 study stays inside that footprint. Do not plan on a finished extra concourse. Confirm FIDS; official pages do not print airline-to-gate pins.

Food

Eat before TSA — airside kitchens are limited

Official terminal-services card names a coffee shop, a bar, and a full-service restaurant overlooking the airfield, and warns that not all of that is past security.

Official pages do not print restaurant names or clock hours. County Executive leftover 4 Mar 2026 still says the terminal is not functional for a cup of coffee, a chair, or a bathroom. Confirm the wall.

Live checks

No lounge, five airlines, BermudAir is live

Official pages have no club. Priority Pass / Escape lists do not include HPN. United is not on the live official airline table.

Wikipedia Cape Air / JSX / Blade leftovers are not on the official five-airline card. Bee-Line is $3 OMNY or cash — the airport transit page leftover $2.75 MetroCard is stale.

Live conditions

Right now at HPN

Security waits and operational status from official feeds, where the airport publishes them.

Honest verdict

Who this airport works for

Best for

Hudson Valley / Fairfield County trips that can skip LGA and JFK
jetBlue Florida and San Juan nonstops from a one-building field
Domestic departures that can follow the official 2-hour clock

Watch out for

No passenger lounge — do not buy a third-party Escape HPN pass
Airside food is limited; official copy says eat before TSA
Garage is $36.47/day; long-term $20.88 only after 72 hours if booked online
CLEAR+ lanes were stamped closed; enrollment by bags is not a skip-the-line product
