getting to manhattan from Newark airport


There are he low-cost, low-stress, low-impact way to Newark Liberty.

There are now direct flights from Des Moines to Newark Airport and it doesn’t look too taxing (or expensive – if you skip the cab) to get to Manhattan from Newark. Haven’t been to that airport since the 1980s when I used to fly – okay this will date me – People’s Express.

Here’s the scoop on the AirTrain:

Operating 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, AirTrain provides easy connections to NJ Transit and the rail lines that run on the Northeast Corridor and North Jersey Coast Line. AirTrain also offers a simple way for passengers to get to and from Manhattan and points north, or Philadelphia and points south. It also connects passengers to airline terminals, rental car facilities, hotel shuttles and central parking lots. Best of all, you never have to worry about traffic conditions.

  1. This is a great way to get to Manhattan . . . we did it last weekend (see: http://indiemoines.com/2012/03/12/city-of-tiny-lites/). We also stayed in Jersey City near the Newport/Pavonia PATH Station, where you got twice the hotel for half the price as midtown Manhattan, some great views of the Manhattan skyline . . . and all for the expense of an extra $2.00 and 14 minute PATH train ride to Herald Square . . .
