- You can pick up a shuttle bus at gate C71 that transfers to B or A terminal without going through security again. If you take the AirTrain you'll have to leave the secure area.
- Try to catch one of the pigeons walking around inside the terminal. Protip: lure them closer with pretzel crumbs from Auntie Anne's.
- UglyCookMarch 7, 2015Having charging stations on these days should be norm... Thank god for that. If on terminal C go for a hotdog at Nathan's.
- Diana IbrahimNovember 13, 2013Aunt Annies pretzels are only 2.99... For something just to settle your stomach, it's delicious and cheap
- Security backs up at peak times. Get there early! Especially if you don't have TSA precheck.
- Scott KleinbergDecember 17, 2015The traffic getting here is dicey, so allow extra time. You'll do better on 1-9 than the Turnpike or 78.
- If you have a choice, fly JetBlue out of Newark. Security is so much less stressful at Terminal B than Continental at Terminal C. Lines are shorter and everybody is happier. A better start to the day!
- Korey LartigueNovember 26, 2011If you're looking for a cheap way to leave the city within the next few hours. EWR always has the cheap-getawat flights. But +/- 100$ for car service, depending on where you're coming from.
- Never know what traffic in is going to be like, so get there early and enjoy the restaurants.
- Charter a private yacht for your next corporate event, family fun or any event on the water! NYC cruises, Long Island, CT and more. Dave.zingis@gmail.com for more info!!
- DaniFebruary 25, 2013The only airport serving the New York region prior to LGA's construction, and hub for United Airlines. Watch out for rush-hour and high-demand traffic times, Newark could not be any slower.
- The NJ transit train ticket includes the $5 AirTrain fee. The tip that says AirTrain is free is incorrect.
- Horrible, no pre-check for terminal A, frequent 'random' selections for additional screening. Bring bread crumbs and make friends with the pigeons that infest this travel gem.
- Kaleigh JeffersFebruary 25, 2013Love the complimentary snacks and drinks and comfy chairs in the United Presidential Club!
- One of the friendlier airports I've been to in terms of staff. Even CBP agents are pleasant.
- The food situation has declined. Every restaurant is run by one vendor. No local flavor. Like eating at a restaurant run by the Borg. 😱
- Aromal RajagopalJune 9, 2014Good place to buy perfumes and cosmetics and save on heavy duty. Good food courts too
- If you’re in Terminal C and have TSA Precheck get dropped off on the top floor door #2
- Security lines are getting a lot longer during the summer time months. Try to plan ahead if you can!
- Alex RobertsonJune 25, 2022food at the Japanese sushi place terminal B1 was bad. Dun know what to expect or want from airports these days but that plate was $25 and a bottle of Bud was $10
- Mathew IngramSeptember 28, 2012if you are hungry, the sausage Stromboli at Famous Famiglia in the food court is awesome -- and cheap
- Take the bus from Terminal A to B. Pick it up at A28 and let the driver know. You'll sit up front!
- Charles StanleyJuly 15, 2013Going from terminal C to terminal A? No need to catch the airlink train. Look for the United Shuttle near gate 72. Much quicker!
- Richard BarkerSeptember 19, 2018Get a bite to eat before you use the B50 and up gates. You can’t bring food through and not much to eat.
- When you decide to take an impromptu holiday and you're booked, packed, and at the airport 12 hours later. #triplikewedo
- Michael AndrewsJune 3, 2014The Stag's Leap cabernet in the United lounge is (almost) worth the $15 upcharge - delicious.
- Crumbs Bake Shop in Terminal C serves up massive muffins and cupcakes, plus lemonade, iced coffee and tea ready to grab and go.
- Airtrain to Penn Station: $15, thirty minutes from the airport to the city. Best and fastest deal around.
- When is this airport getting an upgrade?? This airport is aesthetically and technologically backwards! A true eyesore!
- An extremely busy airport. Get there early no matter what time it is...
- Getting a cab is weird as shit if you plan to pay with a card... If I wanted to write them a check 1) I would have brought my checkbook 2) I would be an asshole. Plus there is a $6 voucher fee. BS
- If you've got the time, Newark airport is a little further than New York's airport, but it is way better, less crowds, less chaos, just better...
- Easy to get to from NYC via train. 15-20 minute train ride and you're here.
- If your traveling using the Airport Tram between parking and terminals, give yourself lot of time. It’s run pretty inefficiently.
- Even if you have elite status for united be prepared to wait to check bags if you go inside- the outside bag check usually has no line for the elite check-in
- Terminal B esp in the 60s gates: poorly outfitted, no water fountains, minimal yet expensive food options, and it generally sucks. Hydrate before security - but at least security moves quickly.
- MargeNovember 12, 2017NWR the only airport where the line for the ladies room is longer than the line for security. 🙄
- Porter Airlines offers free wifi AND drinks in their waiting lounge before your flight!
- Mara MAugust 26, 2015Terminal C is looking good. Had the breakfast ham and cheese sandwich at Proof - it had no ham and it was pretty damm expensive.
- SamsoniteMay 3, 2011Get all your 'Jersey' gifts at Newark's Jersey Shop! They promise to have all the salt water taffy and Sopranos memorabilia you never knew you always wanted.
- Quick entry to NYC straight into Penn station. Rapido passagé through global entry, too.
- Two words: Frozen Drinks. Two more words: Caliente Cab. Last two words: Food Court.
- Kimmie MatthewsApril 23, 2015Well, security is a joke. I have TSA PreCheck and they didn't have that lane open but they kept one lane flowing quickly and built up another so that we were in security for about 45 minutes.
- Watch out for the little old man transporting the elderly around shouting "meep, meep" - while hilarious he's super dangerous and will run you over!
