Pro Tips

  • EWR is often faster than JFK or LGA for getting to/from Midtown Manhattan — the AirTrain+NJ Transit route is reliable.
  • United has extensive international routes from Terminal C, including some of the best connections to Central and Eastern Europe.
  • EWR is prone to cascading delays due to its proximity to the New York approach corridor — check real-time status before heading out.
  • The AirTrain is free within the airport but costs $8.25 to exit at the rail station — have a credit card or cash ready.
  • If driving, the NJ Turnpike (I-95) exit 13A drops you directly at the airport — avoid rush hour (7–9 am, 4–7 pm) on the turnpike.
  • Terminal A is showing its age; budget in extra time if you fly Southwest out of EWR.
  • EWR is the closest major airport to Hoboken and Jersey City, making it the best option for NJ residents.
