Indeed. Leaving the fiancee's house 11-ish to catch a train from Hamilton. Not gonna have her father drive me all the way up when I can do something new (train to airport) as part of the trip.

Remember to keep your pink EWR ticket when you leave the train. Here's a tip for using the train to EWR. The escallators up at the airport station are towards the back of the train. If you have a mult-level train, the only place to really put luggage is on the mid level which is the level you enter on. The other cars it's a lot easier to enter and exit through the center doors and to one side of those doors are handicap spot that you can put luggage (may have to flip a seat up)

the AA 757 we took down to miami was old and worn. I am not sure how old CO 757's are but this appeared to be about 15 years old. just very ratty, dirty & and worn. I hope the 738 were taking next is better.

Keep the ticket, pay the access, AirTrain from NJT to P4, switch at P4 to B. Did I miss anything?

Their 738's are fairly new - if it's trashed I'd be surprised.

Great thanks!

I think we may just take the taxi and fly from the city airport. It will be half the cost. I printed out the scheds from both airlines and will just buy the tickets when we get to the city airport.

Just pay attention as you are going toward the municipal airstrip... The town itself is not the greatest and there is a lot of petty theft.

Access fee comes with the Hamilton to EWR train ticket. Is the airtrain acting up that you need to switch at P4? It normally goes back and forth along the entire route so no need to switch.

Thanks for both tips. The way I read the AirTrain map it looked to me like the NJT to P4 ride was on a different line.
