In terminal C be sure to stop by gardenstatediner. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. They continued to serve us even after they officially closed!
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.
Watch out for lousy drivers, heavy Port Authority Police presence, delays and every nightmare you can possibly find in an airport (including getting lost!)
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 But (terminal B at least) is old, outdated and has no real facilities.
