    Watch out for the little old man transporting the elderly around shouting "meep, meep" - while hilarious he's super dangerous and will run you over!

    Easy to get to from NYC via train. 15-20 minute train ride and you're here.

    I prefer P4 parking, 1st level always available early Monday morning (although always says full you will get a spot) and closest to terminal C

    In terminal C be sure to stop by garden state diner. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. They continued to serve us even after they officially closed!

    Do not buy your tea right after security when your gate is 84. While balancing your luggage, you will spill the insane hot tea and burn your hand.

    Probably the best airport food options in the country are in terminal C.

    If you’re an international traveler - rush to immigration Zone C when you arrive to the gate to avoid big lines.

    When is this airport getting an upgrade?? This airport is aesthetically and technologically backwards! A true eyesore!

    Landing here after vacation is one of the most depressing things ever. Even the flight attendants seem upset. Terminal A is freezing in the summer and an oven in the winter.

    Packing condoms in your luggage is OK. Just make sure it's not sitting right on top, where everyone can see it the minute you open your bag. Rookie mistake.

    They decide to clean the hoods of 90% of the restaurants at the same time, so good luck finding dinner if you are hungry at that time.

    Terminal C is looking good. Had the breakfast ham and cheese sandwich at Proof - it had no ham and it was pretty damm expensive.

    If you rent from Hertz, they will drive you to your terminal when you drop off the car. That air train is so inconvenient with luggage.

    Terminal C, the fancy ramen noodle place is a little too oily based on what you get. Everything is naturally marked up 200% cause airports

    Give yourself plenty of time to get through security...or get TSA pre-approved to fly though before flying out of this airport.

    Private limousine, car service, and taxis also provide service to/from the airport. Taxis serving the airport charge a flat rate based on destination.

    Whilst it is starting to look a little dated, it's a very easy Airport to navigate. Not keen on the bulk pay stations they use though for foods.

    Watch out for lousy drivers, heavy Port Authority Police presence, delays and every nightmare you can possibly find in an airport (including getting lost!)

    American Express has a promotion with Boingo WiFi. Simply enter in the 800 support number on the back of the card and get 45 minutes of free WiFi.

    Global Entry (while still fast) is getting bogged down with human checkpoints here. Had to stop at three individual people. Was told "it's not EZ Pass" even though it has always been EZ Pass.

    Take your iPad out of your bag. They claim they can't see through them on the X-ray. It will save you time from them taking it out and rerunning your bag anyway.

    This airport is compact, serves the world and is well-connected to Manhattan. The food vendors suck here, though, so don't come hungry. Cheap eats? Dunkin' has a shop in baggage claim, terminal C.

    It is a big airport comunicated by an airtrain. It is far from NYC. It looks old and has a not so good view. There is no place to leave your luggage for a short trip to the city.

    Newark is good alternative to JFK, smaller,less crowed and getting to and from the airport into the City will cost you the same. But (terminal B at least) is old, outdated and has no real facilities.
