Newark Liberty International Airport Halal Explorer

Newark opened in 1928 as the only airport in Metro New York, but became pretty deserted when LaGuardia Airport opened in Queens|Queens, New York. After World War II, commercial activity returned to the airport. Gradually, it grew to the massive international hub it is today.

Before 9/11 and the airport was called "Newark International Airport". The word "liberty" was added to the airport's name after 9/11 to honor the victims, as one of the four hijacked planes that day, United Airlines Flight 93, took off from this airport. Additionally and the word "liberty" is also a reference to the Statue of Liberty not very far from the airport.

Terminal A, especially the small section that serves American Airlines and Virgin America has insufficient security capacity at peak times, most notably Monday afternoons. You should plan to arrive at least 2 hours before your flight during these periods.

The airport has three sprawling terminals, labeled A, B, and C, arranged in a semicircle around a central roadway. Terminal C is the home of United Airlines' major East Coast hub. As a rule of thumb, most international airlines use Terminal B while most domestic airlines use Terminal A.

Note 1: Flights arriving from international destinations will arrive in Terminal B.

Note 2: Check your departure or arrival terminal. International United flights arrive at Terminals B or C while United Mainline and Express flights can either depart from or arrive at Terminals A or C.

Ground transportation

Newark Liberty is well connected to New York City by both train and bus. NJ Transit train tickets bring you to New York Penn Station in western Midtown Manhattan for $13. If you are with a few people, you could consider a taxi, which will set you back around $60 plus tip.

Travel on a Bus in Newark Liberty International Airport

  • New Jersey Transit Bus #62 - The most affordable option, New Jersey Transit bus #62 runs from in front of the airport terminals to Newark Penn Station (one-way fare $1.60; exact change only; 25 minutes). From there, you may take a PATH subway train ($2.75) either to World Trade Center station in lower Manhattan (25 minutes), or, to Journal Plaza, where you can transfer to the Journal Plaza-33rd Street train across the platform, which runs to the following stops along 6th Avenue: Christopher Street in Greenwich Village, 9th St, 14th St, 23rd St, and 33rd St. Plan on 90 minutes including waiting times. As a word of caution, note that this is not a well-publicized option; you may well find yourself to be the only tourist on the bus, so don't expect much help or companionship in finding your way. The bus runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, but be careful at night, as this bus travels through some rough areas.
  • GoBus 28 - a limited stop service that also travels to downtown, with continuing service to North Newark.
  • Newark Airport Express Bus - ($16 one way, $28 round-trip) runs every 15 minutes to 42nd street in Manhattan. It stops in the Port Authority, outside of Bryant Park, and outside of Grand Central. The trip takes about 40 minutes depending on traffic. At peak times (afternoons in particular) and the bus to the airport can fill up at the first stop, so allow extra time for mishaps, and try to catch it at Grand Central.

Muslim Friendly Rail Holidays in Newark Liberty International Airport

  • Newark Liberty International Airport Station - The station can be visited directly by New Jersey Transit's Northeast Corridor and North Jersey Coast Lines, as well as Amtrak's Northeast Regional and (some) Keystone services. At the station, you can disembark and board the AirTrain Newark monorail to get any of the three terminals, as well as airport parking lots. There is a $5.50 fee for passing to or from AirTrain and NJT/Amtrak (children 11 and under are exempt). The fee is included in the ticket price when you buy an NJT/Amtrak ticket starting or ending at this station, so be sure to keep your ticket (and the magnetic strip embedded in it) so that you can pass through the gates (you can also use a ticket or monthly pass for a station beyond here to get to the station, but you will need to pay the fee separately to get to AirTrain). From this station, NJ Transit trains run north to Newark Penn Station (about 6 minutes) and New York Penn Station (about 25-30 minutes); for other North Jersey destinations served by NJ Transit, change at Secaucus Junction. NJ Transit trains also run south along the Jersey Shore as far as Bayhead (2 hours or more to get this far, though) and Trenton (30-50 minutes depending on the time of day); from the latter you can change for a SEPTA train to Philadelphia 30th Street (about an additional 30 minutes, not including wait time). Amtrak trains also run north to New York Penn Station and south to Trenton and Philadelphia before moving on to points all along the East Coast, though they will be more expensive. Two things to note if you're taking the train to New York:
  • First, NJ Transit tickets are not valid on Amtrak trains.
  • Second, NJ Transit trains stop at both Penn Station in Newark and at Penn Station in New York, so if your destination is Manhattan stay on until the second Penn Station (past Secaucus Junction). The platforms in the Manhattan station are below street-level following a stretch of underground travel through the tunnels under the Hudson River while the platforms in the Newark station are above street level -- if you're seeing most of the disembarking passengers walking down stairs, get back on the train as soon as feasible because you're still in Newark (the stairs at the New York station lead up.)

Best way to travel in Newark Liberty International Airport by a Taxi

  • Taxis - Travelers from EWR to New York City are charged a flat rate based on the destination (the dispatcher will note the fare and destination on the taxi form). The fare to most parts of Manhattan is $50–70. Tips and round trips tolls ($8 to/from Manhattan) are extra. You may also pay a ~$2 toll if the driver uses the New Jersey Turnpike. A $5 extra charge is added for trips to New York, except Staten Island, during weekday rush hours or weekend afternoons. There is also a 10% discount for people above age 62.

By van and private vehicle service

  • Private Car Service - An alternative to taxis, vehicle services are useful for getting to the airport from the outer boroughs where taxis are harder to find, or if you prefer to have transportation reserved in advance. Typically $50 between EWR and Manhattan, $70–80 to/from Brooklyn.
  • Supershuttle - Country-wide, shared van door-to-door service. $19 to Manhattan.
  • GoAirlink Shuttle - Shared van door-to-door service. $18 to Manhattan. 10% discount for online purchase.

How to get around in Newark Liberty International Airport

The automated AirTrain Newark monorail system travels frequently (every 3-5 minutes) between the three terminals, as well as some of the parking areas and, as mentioned above and the Newark Airport railway station (about a ten-minutes ride from Terminal A and the farthest of the three from the station). Within the terminals it is easily accessed via elevators and escalators and runs 24 hours, though during off-peak hours (late evening/early morning) trains may run in segments rather than the entire length which will force you to disembark and wait for another train to take you onward - plan accordingly if you're arriving at the airport during that time via train station or the airport parking lots. AirTrain is before security, so plan extra time if you need to use it for a connecting flight. There is a $5.50 extra charge for exiting the AirTrain and going onto an Amtrak or NJ Transit train after, but this is usually included in your rail ticket.

United operates a post-security shuttle bus service between the terminals, but only for passengers connecting on United-branded flights. As of December 2017 and the shuttle stops gate C71, tow locations at terminal B and gate A28. Since security checkpoints are located at the entrance of each terminal's "fingers", if you are connecting to another flight, you may need to leave the airside and pass through security again even if the next flight departs from the same terminal but from a different "finger".

Wait

If you want to get some good views of airplanes, ride the AirTrain around. It may even be worth it to explore other terminals.
