another thing people conveniently leave out of their calcuations is the cost to get to and from the airport.
in NYC, that cost is far from inconsequential.
to and from Newark Liberty from NYC is $50 each way by cab. even taking the train is about $12-$13 each way. the bus is $11 or $12 each way. i guess you could take the PATH and a bus, but boy is that a pain (and it isn't free).
