I'd suggest putting aside your dislike of EWR and looking at all options objectively. Good luck.
Hi there,
I would agree. I took a quick look on ITA, and there are a number of flights from STL to EWR and EWR to STL. Just plan for a 2.5 - 3 hour layover, and there will be no problem.
However, given possible weather issues, I would recommend AMS over EWR. The New York area can get some bad rainstorms in June, and that really causes air traffic havock.
Overall, I'm based in Geneva, and lately, I've been using AMS and EWR as my preferred connection points (anything over CDG for the time being).
Cheers,
GenevaFlyer
