Reader Advice

• The only way to get to EWR airport is via NJ Transit through the AirTrain. Need to budget in additional time for this on top of time for the security line AND you run the risk of NJ Transit being delayed.

• Best for NYC international connections; good Amtrak access.

• You can only get to specific gates through specific security lines. Don’t rely on TSA PreCheck being available for your security line.
