Flights to Norwalk

image of NorwalkNorwalk is an attractive historical city situated in the US state of Connecticut. Norwalk has become part of the New York metropolitan area though it has it own character and attractions to satisfy most visitors, and with the proximity to New York you could always visit NYC for a day trip or two.

There is no airport right in Norwalk, and the nearest one is about a half hour drive away, the Westchester County Airport (airport code: HPN), though larger airports like Laguardia Airport (code: LGA) and JFK are within an hour’s drive. Although there are options for flights to Norwalk from South Africa landing at the Westchester County Airport, you may well find it cheaper and easier to use JFK or La Guardia and then transfer from there. If you catch a flight to Norwalk via Westchester your journey will involve two connections such as through Atlanta and Washington with Delta Airlines, or via London and Philadelphia with Virgin Atlantic or South African Airways.
