EWR-Newark

I’m flying into LGA Monday morning and need to get to our office right by Newark Penn. Don’t want to drop $150 on an Uber and I’ve got the whole day, so time isn’t a big deal. I’ll just have a backpack and small travel bag. Was thinking it might be nice to grab food or see a bit...

Diamond member here, mostly Europe flying with a couple US trips per year. Last week I flew to Newark and bid the minimum for an upgrade to Premium. It cleared. When I boarded, I noticed quite a few empty seats in Premium. So now I’m wondering: Would SAS ever automatically...

We’re flying into EWR early afternoon and don’t depart from JFK until midnight. Traveling with a small dog and have a long overnight flight after, so we’d really like a day hotel to rest and let the dog get some exercise. TWA Hotel looks great but $700 is just too much. Is there...

End of next week I’ll be sitting at 999,684 paid butt in seat miles, so my next flight will officially put me over a million. For whatever reason, airports still calm me down. Walking into EWR still feels like possibility. Another trip, another story. I’ve been flying for about...

If you’re flying premium economy on Lufthansa out of EWR to MUC, that ticket alone does give you access to the Lufthansa lounge, even if the booking was made through United. What matters is the operating airline and the cabin, not who sold the ticket. That said, there is always...

Spirit cancelled my flight a few hours before it was supposed to leave today. No real explanation. When I called, they blamed it on “air traffic control or weather or something uncontrollable,” even though other flights at the airport are operating fine. There are no other...

Was supposed to leave hours ago. First it was a seatbelt issue, then a series of delays, then full deplane, then “maybe reinstated,” then not. Bags, no bags, who knows. Eight hours later we’re finally reboarding at 3am. Props to the gate crew for holding it together, but wow...

Our flight from Newark to Tokyo was delayed about two hours because the plane was 3,000 pounds overweight. The pilot announced they’d need to offload cargo which ended up being almost all checked bags. Only about 40 made it onboard, and the rest were rerouted through SFO. We had...

For anyone flying out of Newark, departures might be using runway 11 since 4L is closed. Some will still get 4R between arrivals, but expect heavy arrival delays today.

I’ve been flying United (Continental before that) out of EWR for over 30 years, but lately the prices are wild. A spring break flight to Cancun in 2026 is showing $1,600 in economy, American out of JFK is around $600. I’ve stayed loyal for decades, but a $1,000 difference per...

Flying out of EWR around 8am and wondering how bad the weather is getting. Anyone there right now seeing delays or cancellations? Hoping it’s not a mess.

Looked at the schedule for Oct 8 and United’s running 7 nonstops from Newark to London that day, all on 763s. Three of them leave within about an hour of each other in the evening. Is there any real difference between them for someone in economy, or just a ton of capacity...

Landing at Newark around 9:30 pm from Europe, so I’m guessing I won’t clear immigration until close to 11. Is the AirTrain to NJ Transit to Penn Station to subway route still running at that hour, or should I just bite the bullet and book a car?

Flying AUS to EWR tonight and got hit with something I’ve never seen on a domestic flight. TSA was set up at the gate, checking IDs again and pulling some folks aside on the jet bridge for bag and laptop checks. Felt more like an international departure. Anyone know what...
