Grabbing some valuable real estate while it's still available. Can't wait!

I see that Amtrak offers service 9/x day from Penn Stn. to EWR. It costs more ($25) than the Olympia Trails bus ($16). How does it compare MTA?

Any FT's familiar with the Amtrak service? Is it reliable/convenient?

kwildnj

Hi Antonio,

Seating wise, I would say that the two are the same, or similar at least. However I would caution against using Amtrak, and heres why.

Amtrak is an all-reserved service, and while you can purchase a ticket fairly close to departure time, they also have a dynamic pricing system (similar to airline tickets) meaning that 25 ticket can go as high as 50 or 75 dollars if you wait to purchase until right before boarding.

On the flipside, if you purchase the ticket in advance, and your flight is delayed, or you get held up in customs, and miss your train, you can apply the 25 dollars to the next train, however, the fare will be repriced at the current day's rate.

As an alternative to Amtrak, NJ Transit operates over 50 commuter trains from EWR to New York Penn each day (minimum of 2 per hour between 5am until 2am) The service costs 12.50, with no advance purchase benefits.


Thr bus on the other hand, is 16.00 per person from 6am until 1am, and runs every 15 minutes, and you can buy your ticket right on the bus. Even if you pre-pay for your reservation, you can ride any bus, with no additional fare collection.


A last alternative would be the SuperShuttle orshared ride, which is 20.00 per person anywhere in Manhattan, and while this is a shared ride (11 seat van, and you are only one stop of the 11), you will have a door-to-door service, versus the bus or train, which woukd require either a taxi or subway/city bus to your final destination.

Laste year I took the NJ transit train and it was very good. I'm arriving to EWR this thrusday and will take it again. It's a good choice, a bit crowded maybe but the ride is not too long actually so it's fine.

Thank you very much for posting the transit information for Newark. I am looking to fly from AUS to Europe (Spain, France, etc.) on AA and the award tickets showed different connecting airports of Newark and JFK. I have never flown a flight with different connecting airports, that I can remember. I could not find information in the AA forum, but I image this would be common with AA award flights connecting through EWR and JFK. Thanks again!

PollThomson

I flew into Newark Airport, loved the first glimpse of the Manhattan skyline and was really impressed with the speed of processing us into the United States. The New Jersey transit was also quite useful

However the airport was not nearly so good for the British Airways flight home. We had hoped to pick up some food at the airport, nothing fancy, but the terminal consisted of a snack bar, a newsagent, a tiny 'pub' and small duty free.

Would we have been better off with a different airline at a different terminal?

fwoomp

Commenting on food quality only, not the merits of the different airlines...

You might try UAL, flying out of Terminal C. I had a bit of a wait after catching the redeye the night before, and the dining options right around the gate I remember were:

• a place serving full breakfast that smelled pretty good
• Jamba Juice, a smoothie/juice bar (where I ate)
• a burger joint (which must have been decent, as i watched Anthony Bourdain buy and inhale one of their burgers at 7:30 A.M.)

Due to the early hour, there was other stuff, too, that wasn't interesting to me at the time (or closed, maybe).

Anyway, here's the full Terminal C restaurant list--lots past security:

Welcome to FlyerTalk!

Flying out of Newark only Terminal C really has decent concessions and that's all United. The BA operation at JFK (T7) isn't all that much better but it has a handful of options rather than the essentially nil at EWR.

Welcome to FlyerTalk, PollThomson! I've taken the "Liberty" of merging your thread into an existing general thread about EWR airport. Although the OP of this thread has not been around for a while, perhaps we can take this opportunity to restart the discussion.
