Newark Liberty International Airport

EWR’s passenger facilities are split among three separate terminal buildings clustered around the airfield. United Airlines is the principal carrier at the airport and operates many flights from one of the terminals; other carriers operate from the remaining terminals.

Moving between terminals: the AirTrain people-mover and shuttle services link the terminals and the off-airport rail station; allow time for transfers when connecting between different terminals or to rail services.

Main options to Manhattan are rail (NJ Transit/Amtrak plus AirTrain), coach, taxi and ride-share; travel to midtown Manhattan is typically 30-60 minutes depending on mode and traffic.

• Rail: Use AirTrain to the Newark Liberty International Airport Station, then NJ Transit or Amtrak into New York Penn Station; total journey ~30-45 minutes depending on connections (fare varies; include AirTrain portion).
• Coach: Intercity coach services operate to Manhattan and other destinations; journey time varies by route and traffic.
• Taxis: Metered taxis are available outside each terminal; flat or estimated fares to Manhattan are common-expect higher costs than public transit.
• Ride-share: App-based services operate from designated curbside locations at each terminal.
• Driving: The airport is about 16 miles (25 km) from Midtown Manhattan; allow significant extra time for traffic.

Terminals offer lounges, shopping, dining, Wi‑Fi and accessibility services; services vary by terminal so check ahead for specific amenities.
