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 candybars, chips and a pop.
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.
Out of the three tri stateairports this ranks as number two. Outside the United Terminal, terminals B & C are pitiful. The Airtrain is slow tiny and old. So be sure to allocate the appropriate time
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.
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 But (terminal B at least) is old, outdated and has no real facilities.
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.
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.
Watch out for lousy drivers, heavy Port Authority Police presence, delays and every nightmare you can possibly find in an airport (including getting lost!)
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.
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.
If you travel internationally and land at Newark or JFK a lot, you should seriously consider joining the government's Global Entry system and avoid the immigration lines. Well worth $100 for 5 years.
