Amtrak from Philly to Newark Aiport
 
Hello!
I would like to train it from Philly on Amtrak to Newark airport (EWR) in March 2022. Once I arrive I need to get to Iceland Air terminal in the aiport. Can someone explain to me what I do once I get off the Amtrak train? I believe there is a monorail or some kind of train that will take me to the terminal but I can't be sure.

Any help would be appreciated.

According to the Amtrak website, you scan your Amtrak ticket (smartphone or paper) at the fare gate to the monorail shuttle. It is included in the price you pay for your Amtrak ticket to EWR. You will very likely be following others that are headed to the airport.

Yes. Once you get off the train, you will have to go up the stairs to reach the monorails to the airport terminals. There is always an employee standing around where you catch it if you need help. Anyone also getting off will be going there as and I believe a Dunkin’ Donuts stand is on the way if you need a landmark as that is where you go down to catch it. My train ticket always includes the monorail so just be sure yours does as well. I don’t take Amtrak but NJ transit. Once you get on the monorail there is guide on what airlines are at what terminal. Chances are you may be going out at terminal B but always check before getting off. Even if you get off the wrong one, you can get back on.

The monorail at EWR is called AirTrain and there is no charge to use it at the airport. When you arrive at the Amtrack station you will go upstairs and follow signs for the AirTrain station. The Newark Liberty train station is the last stop on the monorail line so all trains move in the direction you want to go. You will get off at the monorail station for Terminal B, proceed downstairs to complete check in (if necessary) and clear security to head to your gate. If mobility is an issue, there are elevators at all the stations.
