The Grand Slam at Flushing Meadows
The US Open runs the last week of August through the second week of September at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing, Queens — 11 miles from Midtown Manhattan. It is the most-attended tennis event in the world, which makes it one of New York's most complex transportation environments during its two-week run. The Van Wyck Expressway and Northern Boulevard see sustained congestion from noon through midnight during the tournament's second week. FFGR USA executes US Open transfers using Northern Blvd corridor timing and specific arrival windows that avoid peak queue build-up at the USTA complex's main entrance.
FFGR US Open Protocol
For principals in the Arthur Ashe Stadium suites and premium hospitality programs, FFGR USA coordinates arrival timing with the USTA hospitality team to align vehicle arrival with suite access. Day session arrivals should target the USTA complex between 10:30am and 11:45am; evening session arrivals between 6:30pm and 7:15pm to clear the crossover congestion between sessions. Departure from night session Finals matches — which regularly conclude after midnight — is pre-planned with an alternate routing through Northern Boulevard westbound that avoids the Van Wyck completely.
Two-Week Coverage
FFGR USA offers US Open season packages: a dedicated Escalade ESV or Rolls-Royce Cullinan with your assigned chauffeur for the duration of the tournament's two weeks. This ensures your vehicle and chauffeur build operational familiarity with the Flushing routing across the tournament's 14 days rather than re-briefing a new chauffeur for each visit. Corporate accounts managing multiple principals across different box sessions benefit particularly from this model.
