Always amazed how convenient the AirTrain and LIRR to Penn Station is compared to sitting in traffic during rush hour.
Glad to hear JFK is easier

Getting to either airport can be a total pita, so that's not usually a determining factor for me (unless I'm in the financial district, in which case EWR would usually be considerably quicker).
I agree, EWR is awful!

Forgot about that. I can use Centurion at SFO and also have UC membership

Not a deal breaker as long as I can get into some lounge at JFK and Alaska lounge is better than most UC lounges.

It is 757
