    3 Stars A Great Airport to Transit Through Diamond review Review with images 30/09/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Clean and spacious, good public transport links, plenty of shops and restaurants

    Disadvantages Disadvantages International check-in is chaotic and slow, as is security, lack of toilets

    On my very first flight to New York City in 1999 I flew into Newark Airport. I don’t recall much about it from then and I had a couple more flights to and from there over time but by and large if I was flying to New York I would fly in and out of JFK. Since moving back to Scotland if I want to fly direct to the US I have limited options. There’s either Continental Airlines to Newark or US Airways to Philadelphia. The Continental option wins hands down both on airline quality and on which airport is the best to travel to or transit through. General Information Newark Liberty International ... more

    4 Stars Newark - After 911 17/02/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy access good parking plenty of facilities

    Disadvantages 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 ... more

    1 Star Cross Your Legs And Prepare For A Bumpy Ride 19/08/2001
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Huge, modern design, central hub

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No toilets, seating, water fountains, shops or telephones in baggage transfer area

    Imagine being 5 months pregnant and stuck in a room with no water fountain, no toilet and no air conditioning with the weather outside in the 90's. And staff who don't give a damn and won't do anything about it. Yes, all this happened to me at Newark airport!! The day started badly. Our flight from Glasgow was on time, but unfortunately couldn't land because the airport had been closed due to bad weather. This happens a lot, apparently, because the Port Authority (who own the airport) are very aware of the risk of being sued so are apt to close the airport at the slightest sign of anything ... more

    2 Stars The rude, rude staff of home 16/10/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Pleasant security people, well served from all over USA and UK

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Expensive food, Rude staff, Tiny toilets, Badly thought-out smoking area.

    Arriving at Newark’s Liberty Airport (as it’s now called), provides a great view of New York as the plane makes it final approach. Coming in from Birmingham (BHX) on the daily Continental Airlines Flight, we struggled to get all our paper work done on time (why they hand it out about 10 minutes before you land I don’t know, we were bored stiff for previous 7 hours – but I digress!) The paperwork would have to be handed in on arrival to the immigration service and customs. Having left our passports in our carry on luggage (and not wanting to move the old ladies which were between us and the ... more

    3 Stars NEWARK AIRPORT - NOT THE BEST OF NYC 09/10/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Daily direct flights from UK at reasonable cost

    Disadvantages 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 ... more
