Flying into Newark airport
I'm looking at a great price for a round-trip to NYC, but we would fly into Newark.
Are there any reasons not to do that? Seems like access to the city would be easy. Probably take a train, right?
Thanks.

You can find transportation options into NYC
http://www.panynj.gov/airports/ewr-airtrain.html
None are particularly convenient.
We avoid Newark. Delays and cancelled flights, allegedly due to weather, are legendary. And, the place is generally just awful in every way. It would take a significant savings for me to fly into/out of Newark.

People visiting NYC fly into Newark all the time. A simple google search for "Newark Liberty Airport" will give you links to all the different transportation options available to get you to/from the airport and NYC.

You might try this #: 212-777-7777. I haven't used it in a while but they used to have cars that would take you from Newark airport to Manhattan for flat rate around $45.00. The company's name was something like Dial7. I believe they have a website.

There's good bus and train service from Newark to NYC. If it's more the 2 people, then go for car service. Note the flat rate mentioned doesn't include tolls and tip. I think the train is about $15 each way, and the bus is maybe a tiny bit less.

Thanks, everyone, for your replies. Now I know it's ok to fly into Newark.
My trip has fallen through. The good fare is only for this weekend, and I can't get anyone to go with me. I'd be fine by myself, because I actually prefer doing solitary things (shopping....museums....taking pictures of architecture...) but I just can't shake the fear of staying alone in a hotel.

traveller1959 -
Well, as a matter of fact - you can get very different conditions at Newark and JFK - in terms of fog, winds, amount of snow etc. And it's perfectly possible for one to have horrible delays and the other be operating much more on time.
Also, they are home bases for different airlines - and depedning n where those planes are originating you can have very differnt patterns of delay.
that said, none of the NYC airports are good as far as on time records - we just have to be happy it's not as bad as O'Hare.
