If you want to go to Times Square you can take one of the Newark Airport Express busses (coach USA). It's really fast and it comes every 15 during the day.
If you have time to kill (especially with kids) take the transfer bus between terminals. You'll get a unique perspective on the airport, driving under terminals and along the Tarmac. Kind of cool.
Air travel can be tough on the knees and joints so while in flight, rotate the ankles in a circular motion one at a time. Then, sit back, relax and enjoy your flight.
New terminal C is actually really nice, seats and plugs for everyone. Food and drink is a bit overpriced, but considering its served to your seat and bill is paid immediately, its really convenient
Top dining options: Earl of Sandwich at term A gates A20-28, Grand Central Oyster Bar and Vino Volo, both at term C gates C70-99, and Le Grand Comptoir and Smashburger, both at term C gates C120-139. Read more
The burger place at the end of c terminal lets you bring beer to the gate in a coffee cup.. It Helps to brace yourself for bad news.. All the $6 or $9 dogfish you can drink!
If you're trying to get from Newark to NYC, don't ask the transportation help desk. They weren't helpful and didn't know what they were talking about. Use the internet! Or just use Airtrain and NJT.
In Terminal B if you want gum or other flight goodies be sure to stop at Hudson News in the hall leading to the gates before getting comfortable. Just a Duty Free store occupies the center area.
It’s $35 to take a Lyft Line to Manhattan. If you take the train it’s $13 for the NJ Transit and $3 on the subway to get to your station. Important to know if you have bags etc. 💼😍👜
If you fly often, bring an empty gym bottle with you & fill it out from the water fountains. Bring your own snacks or eat before you leave home. An omelette + cup coffee here will run you $23.
Smooth sailing for Manhattan entry. Party of one or two? Take the Airtrain on upper level straight to Penn Station for $13 a pop. Party of four? Lyft or Uber for $55 or so straight into Manhattan!
TSA is a total Joke! Clueless as to the rules governing TSA Prechek! Oh, you get to keep your shoes on... ONLY benefit for TSAPrechek! Typical! Just make up your own rules Newark!!! Communists!!
Hungry at Terminal B? There is a food court in the centre of the terminal opposite the train. Subway, Wendy's etc. The terminal is split into three satellites - each past security with 2 restaurants.
Terminal C between gates Gates C70-99 has a large seating area with a sit down restaurant and a variety of ethic cuisines that are made quickly, but really impressed considering it's airport food!
This is my preferred NYC area airport. It’s the easiest to navigate in and traveling to. I parked at P-6 economy lot and I recommend pre-booking to save a few bucks. They have a bus that picks you up.
Order your bagel on an iPad but they have to have someone standing next to the iPad explaining how to use it and then take your receipt to a different iPad to pay for it. What sadist designed this.
Vegans! In Terminal C on the main concourse (before you go down to any terminal C gates) Balducci's offers vegan options. Mostly pasta but with flavor. There are also veggie sticks & hummus.
I fly in and out of Terminal C for international flights several times a month. It’s beautiful - clean, spacious with great restaurants and self-serve shops with tons of healthy snack options.
Taxi note: Traveling to Manhattan, metered fare; $60 to $75, plus bridge and tunnel tolls and gratuity; 45 to 60 minutes to Midtown Manhattan. $5 surcharge at weekday rush hours and weekends.
If you are in Terminal C and are looking for a cheap breakfast, you can get a bagel with butter and a small coffee for less than $6 at the GardenStateDiner by gates C101-C115.
Absolute sh*t show of an airport. You check-in and go through security at different level according to your class. Not clear. Security is pretty quick. The regular one goes faster than the others.
It's a good restaurant with plenty of choices. The tablets you use to order are nice, and you can kill some time playing the games before your flight is ready for boarding
Just arrived? Grab the airtrain from any terminal towards the train station. There, grab a $13 one-way ticket to Penn station : cheapest/fastest way to Manhattan.
Terminal A is a tiny sh*tshow, leave extra time for security & to be disappointed when you get to the gates. Terminal C is a well-oiled machine with endless amenities. Terminal B? Never heard of it.
Use the meditation / prayer room in terminal C after the security area. Go towards gate 120 the meditation room is between the group room young travelers club and L'occitane
The air train is a relief helps you a lot, all facilities are very fine and comfy,if you stayed upon Newark Hilton hotel the P4station will be your next step the shuttle will pick you up right here ug
It's getting better and better. Love the new food options where you order from an iPad. It allows the traveler with limited time to control the pace of the service.
One of my favorite airports. They have a lot of amenities (food, seating, shops, charging stations) and the facilities are clean! They have iPad stations too
If someone's planning on picking you up without parking, better rush out to meet him/her because enforcement will make you move if double-parked and you'd have to go around again (and again).
This place is great to fly out of. Getting through TSA is always painless, they have lots of seating with charging ports if you need to charge up your phone. G
Terminal Cfood court is amazing!!!! Best I have ever seen in 30plus yrs of domestic and international travel. Wanderlust burgers are really delicious!!
Worth noting: Dozens of bathroom visits across weeks of international travel. All, save one (predictably sketchy dive restaurant in Chennai) were 100% better than those in baggage claim, terminal B.
For those who regularly get dragged into "secondary" immigration (the side room), lines here are *much* shorter than JFK. For this reason alone it may be worth booking your return trips through here.
