Are you here just to cause trouble?
Can somebody other than Stevenhev please answer which my question.
Hypotheical question. I am staying in Manhatten, extactly half way between JFK and EWR, which is the most convienent airport to get to using public transportation? Or which do you prefer?
Umm...actually his question was very relevant and critical to giving you a reasonable answer. The neighborhood your hotel is in has a significant impact on which airport is easier to transit. He wasn't just being onerous.
"Manhattan" is NOT exactly half-way between JFK and EWR. There really is a lot of nuance to question and the answer. The folks here really are helpful for the most part, but we need some cooperation from you, not just vitriol, as we try to
help you get the best advice you can receive.
That all being said, JFK has more train service than EWR does and more options for destinations of said trains. But that doesn't mean it is a better airport to fly in to if you are staying at the Embassy Suites in Battery Park, for example. Oh, and your assumptions about shuttle buses and whatnot for JFK are completely wrong.
