Newark - After 911

Advantages: Easy access good parking plenty of facilities
Disadvantages: Currently undergoing major refurbishment, some delays

I would firstly like to reassure the nervous traveler that, since the tragic events of September 11th 2001, security at this and other US Airports has vastly improved. I will write about the increased security later in this opinion. Newark International Airport is one of New York?s major Airports supporting both International and Internal flights. I have used Newark many times, and whilst it is not the greatest of Airports that I have passed through, it is not the worst either. Newark Airport is within the State of New Jersey and is New York?s 2nd largest airport. There are three terminals here, used for inbound and outbound flights, your terminal will depend upon which airline you are using. I have used both Terminals B and C, finding C to be the better to date, as B is currently the terminal most affected by construction ...

Review of New York, Newark, USA (EWR)

Newark - in transition

Advantages: Not as busy as JFK
Disadvantages: Currently unorganized and unfriendly

I have been travelling to USA for over five years now and have visited JFK and Newark. Newark has several advantages over JFK. To get to JFK involves traveling on some of the busiest roads in New York. Although Newark is in a busy section of the region, the roads are generally less full and the access is easier. Newark is generally less busy than JFK, although there are just as many international flights many people prefer to use JFK rather than Newark. Newark is currently undergoing improvements which make a nightmare to commute to and from. The road infrastructure is completely changing, and the parking lots are being improved. While I am sure this will help in the future, it makes it a nightmare to get in and out of the airport now! Additionally the interior is changing. Newark is a sprawling unorganized airport that is ...

NEWARK AIRPORT - NOT THE BEST OF NYC

Advantages: Daily direct flights from UK at reasonable cost
Disadvantages: Not much to do with a lot of time to kill

I arrived at Newark airport from Manchester on 5th September this year. No problem there, and made our way into the arrivals lounge. Lounge - sorry I must have used the word kindly. It was a huge hall where we were ordered to stand in long lines until ordered which desk to present our immigration papers and passports. Slick, quick but not over friendly. The second stage was the search, or lack of it - still, quite painless, although the people that were stopped were directed to a desk marked agriculture and food - couldn't understand the logic there, I honestly thought we were just holiday makers!! Finally made it into the public area, where we had to dump our luggage trolley, and proceed to make the descent down an escalator with the cases and hand luggage to the carpark area. Not easy if you had children or elderly. Surely ...
