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

Advantages: Huge, modern design, central hub Disadvantages: No toilets, seating, water fountains, shops or telephones in baggage transfer area
...As with many things in New York, it seems that only the people who shout the loudest get things done.
We ended up having to spend the night in Newark and got the last available hotel room. What things would have been like had I had to spend the night on the floor in the airport after 7 hours without toilet, water or air conditioning I really don't know! Pregnancy is darned uncomfortable at the best of times without all this.
When we finally ...

Advantages: Pleasant security people, well served from all over USA and UK Disadvantages: Expensive food, Rude staff, Tiny toilets, Badly thought-out smoking area.
...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 ...

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 ...

...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 ...

not impressed! Review ofNew York, Newark, USA (EWR)by
traceyhand
Advantages: well, it is New York, I suppose Disadvantages: disorganised and crowded
...mess!!
As we flew into New York on our first ever visit to the United States we were hoping to god that the place was going to get better but it didn't!
Nothing was sign posted, there didn't seem to be anyone around to help and we were stuck in this place for 4 hours with nowhere to go and absolutely nothing to do.
For such a major city, I was very unimpressed with the place!
I guess as a whole we don't spend that much time at an airport so ...

Advantages: Convenience for NY visitors, excellent public transport links Disadvantages: Lack of facilities
If you are travelling to New York City, it's well worth considering flying into Newark. Despite being located in another state, it's actually closer to the City than either JFK or LaGuardia - just a 20 minute train journey from Penn Station in the heart of midtown. It's also worth bearing in mind that flights into Newark from the UK are in my experience less busy than flights to the other airports.
The terminal links and the link to the train and ...
