    Hotel shuttles leave from P4 so take the Air Train there. One stop further is NJ Transit connection.

    Reserve at least 2.5h for international connections to the US. Airport is crowded and slow moving. Trains connecting terminals are stuffed and do not run on time.

    For some reason, anytime of the day that I fly the security line is SUPER long, leave extra time for this!!!

    You can sit at the bar at "Le Grand Compt" in terminal C, have a beer and almost watch your plane board.

    best part about these are that there haven't been any Larry Craig sightings so all save to do your biz without Mr Wide Stance.

    Are you thinking about not paying $80 to get into NYC? Feel like the $16 bus is a good idea? Wrong: 15 minutes is a different concept to them, stop and wait at every stop; take the train. Or walk.

    Crappy airport with broken promises of free wifi... If your from outside of the U.S. Like Canada? You can't download the free app to use the free wifi😡

    Wah wah. An airport that doesn’t know how to deal with inclement weather and is the source of America’s delays.

    Be prepared to wait at baggage claim an inordinate amount of time. It is never timely. Have a book and a cup of coffee. No bathrooms on bagclaim levels.

    First time in NJ? Make sure to check out the "lots of hair gel and talking with your hands" look. It's very popular here.

    Going to NYC? Park your car here. It's easier and you don't have to deal with the city's crazy traffic

    TSA Pre? Go to terminal C only. If you need another terminal, take the shuttle after going through expedited security. Peace!

    Come early security delays are annoying. To self park for over a day u must take a bus to ur terminal. Not like other airports where u park and walk in.

    There is an express bus to New York at level 1 lane 2 in terminal B. Good choice when the air train doesn't run.

    Cancer-Causing Full Body Scanners (aka TSA Death Machines) in use. Request a normal pat down instead--if more than one at a time does it, they just have you go through the metal detector

    Manhattan to Newark? Take the path trains for $1.75 to Penn stn NJ and either train or cab the rest of the way. Affordable and easy

    Use Newark Airport Express. Uber is expensive here, especially getting from NY to the airport.

    It’s a nice and big airport. But the restaurant and lounge selection for late night leaves something to be desired

    If you use Über, text your driver your EXACT location (terminal, level and door). The GPS on the locates everyone in Terminal B, level 1 by default.

    Not that hard to get there from Port Authority, bus is nice and cozy, better to leave a 1hr reserve in case of a traffic jam in the tunnel

    Plan ahead and show up early. Security is extra slow at Southwest Terminal A. Every single time.

    Off-site parking shuttles pick up & drop off @ TERM. C, not P4 as shown on signs. NJ Transit, use your ticket to get on AirTrain which takes to train station, which is not actually at the airport.

    To get free wifi you can use the continental presidents club. It seems to be above McDonalds in terminal C. You can sit at gate 75 and still have strong connection.

    In terminal C, look on the floor in the carpeted areas for electrical outlets. They are black plastic circles and you have to slide a plastic piece back to expose the outlet.

    C1 elite line is usually shorter than the C3 elite line during busy times. You can get to all C gates from any security checkpoint.

    Crowded concourses. Super sensitive metal detectors mean I somehow have to take my shoes off going through TSA Precheck, every time. Rude or disinterested staff are the norm everywhere you go here.

    DO NOT EVER LET MARIA JOSEPHINA POLANCO (the hostess from Saison in TERMINAL C (RESTAURANT C3) borrow ANY MONEY from you. SHE'S A BITCH , she won't pay you back. I LET HER BORROW $540 SINCE 04/16.

    If you have time and want to sit at the bar and get a hot meal and a drink while watching the game, don't go thru security to your terminal or you will be stuck with candy bars, chips and a pop.
