How To Use The Newark EWR Airport AirTrain: NYC to EWR and EWR to NYC

After popular demand of my JFK Airtrain video, I've been asked so many times to make a detailed video of using the Newark AirTrain. If you are flying into Newark EWR Airport, did you know there is a convenient way of going from the airport to Manhattan? In this video I will show you how to use the Newark AirTrain. In the first half of the video, we will start at Penn Station in Manhattan. From there we will take the NJ Transit to Newark Liberty International Airport, then take the AirTrain to our terminal. In the second half of the video, we will go from Terminal C to the Newark Intl Airport Station, then take the NJ Transit to Penn Station in NYC.

[@TravelWithVic]

30 minutes! :)

[@debshunter8118]

@@TravelWithVic thank you! I have a 7 hour layover in April...I'll see how long security takes..and I'll 🤞be off into Manhattan!!!

[@clydelaz]

@@debshunter8118 I had a friend that did that once. He didnt have enough time to do any major traditional sightseeing so he did a pizza tour. He bought one slice of pizza at 10 different pizzerias.

[@rajeevk.pathak771]

A superbly created, lucid, user-friendly, preemptively answering all the questions,and a detailed video! Could not have been simplified more! You have done great service to the passengers who want to easily connect with NYC-Manhattan Penn Station from EWR Liberty International Airport! I used to take the Newark Airport Express Bus, but you have delineated an attractive alternative for an (East-) Indian train-buff like me! (Incidentally, I frequently travel from India to the United States on Visiting Professorships and Conference Invitations). Please keep up the Good Work...look forward to seeing many such video-clips!

[@TravelWithVic]

Thanks buddy! I really appreciate it and glad to hear that it answers all questions! So many of us New Yorkers get asked how to get to and from the airport and general directions so I do whatever I can to help! :)

[@GorgieClarissa]

This video is soooooo helpful!!! What's not helpful (nothing to do with this video) is that google maps doesn't even offer this as an option... they legit only show the bus or other trains. It's like this is non-existant on google maps... so thank you so much for this video!

[@michaelpayne5545]

Thanks for posting. I live in NJ and sometimes take the train to the airport since it’s cheaper than a car service or parking at the airport

I rode on trams before in apple village zoo in Minnesota many years ago.

[@williamclark2448]

Small tip. Have you're QR code, the one you used on the train from Penn station, ready before you get the newark airtrain. It will save you time.

[@ArdisTravel]

In addition to the Northeast Corridor Trains, you can also take the North Jersey Coast Line Trains to the airport station. The single level rail cars on NJTransit have more space than the bi-level rail cars. The single level seat 5 across rather than 4 and have more overhead space on the racks.

[@TravelWithVic]

That's awesome!! Yeah the overhead space on the racks was a bloody joke on the train! Those poor international passengers...

[@ArdisTravel]

@@TravelWithVic NJTransit services are designed for Commuters who make up >95% of the ridership. The double-decker trains are built for maximum ridership since the platforms at Penn-New York cannot accommodate longer trains. The height of the cars is limited by century-old tunnels under the Hudson. Travelers with luggage have the option of riding Amtrak between Newark and Manhattan. These trains have far more luggage space, but are a bit more expensive, but tickets can be purchased online in advance.

[@TravelWithVic]

I just checked on Amtrak's website for tickets between Penn Station and Newark Airport Station. I see prices at $17 one-way. that isn't bad at all! :)

[@davidthaler7018]

The price may be comparable, but Amtrak service isn’t as frequent as NJT.

[@socman3988]

Awesome video thank you. ! What is the fare to take the NJ AirTrain to the airport??

[@merc340sr]

Looks busy busy busy...my nephew took a cab from Manhattan to Newark airport. 100$!

[@TheF16JetBurners]

Would love to see some international videos.

[@TravelWithVic]

I intend to! I will be going to Tokyo next month and promise to video the Skyliner train from Tokyo to Narita airport! I'm so excited :D

[@Dimsrose]

I can't tell, can you bring regular size luggage on these? Like a suitcase you'd have to check on a plane. I mostly see small bags.

[@aloneinlondon6863]

I'm confused how you read that monitor? You bought a ticket for Newark Airport, but on the monitor, the only thing that said track 15 was "trenton>SEC".....is that some code word for "Newark Airport"?

[@erickfloresma]

By the way, EWR To NYC is at 13:30

[@MrCliffda3rd]

I know there's a NYC health form I'd need by hand if you're coming from out of state. If I stay in NJ side to go see NYC I don't need it right, even if i'm coming from FL?

[@miketsaron7284]

Hello, is better to travel with bus (the express one) or train from Newark airport to Manhattan ??

[@rumim5227]

Yes! I know Densha de go! Because I’m from Japan 😊✌🏼

[@ChrizardsAdventures]

Do Google maps tell you what and where to get off like using GPS in car?

[@vignesh7989]

If you bought an NJ ticket on your phone, can you use the barcode on phone to scan at EWR airport?

Hello, how did you go with the transport from JFK to EWR, how long does it take because I have a 3-hour connection

[@juanpablotorresgodoy7111]

@@xxdanixx06vrak82 Hi, I'm afraid that 3 hours won't be long enough, it took me 2 hours and 20min. I started the timer once I got my luggage. Also I have to mention that I did take a 25min break in Penn Station. If you have any other question lmk.

[@brownalec602]

Do you need to pay to go from terminal C to Newark Airport Railroad Station? If so how does that work?

[@robertk2007]

Took the airtrain from Jersey City to Newark airport. Wasn't bad. It's $2.75 on path to Newark Penn station to the airtrain. The airtrain is $8.75 to the terminal. Terminal A stop has a shuttle bus to terminal A

[@srfurley]

Re the comment about pretending to drive the train, people say the same about the DLR n London I used EWR several times between 2002 and 2010, arriving from London and heading for Jersey City. The airport was good, as far as any airport can be a good place. The first time several large planes landed close together and the queues at immigration looked really terrible; I thoight it would take hours to get through but they opened several extra desks and be cleared in less than 20 minutes. As for customs, handed over the white card, I think they asked one question, and was waved through in less than ter seconds. I would certainly recommend EWR over JFK; I’ve only used the latter once, and it was terrible. I think the AirTrain could be better, it’s slow and small, gets very crowded. As I was going to Jersey City I needed to take PATH to Journal Square and therefore three trains, including NJ Transit for just one stop, to go just a few km. I wish they would either extend pATH to the airport station, or the AirTrain to Newark Penn Station

[@srfurley]

I wish they would extend PATH from Newark Penn to the EWR airport station.

[@UnanimousDelivers]

Here's hoping folks going to Terminal A know enough to check other resources.

Can I take a Amtak train to Newark airport from Old Saybrook

Does this transit operate during night hours? Say past midnight?

[@asgedas4264]

OK, I want to take my bike from Newark Liberty International Air Port to Pennsylvania station in Manhattan! How I can do it?

[@comoplaysdestiny5106]

Do you have to be at terminal C to get on the air train?

[@hermangre]

At about 16:32, the man's suitcase could jam sideways on the escalator. If there were many people behind him there could be a serious jam and people could get hurt.

[@mariahpeterson524]

Is this method better than the shuttle express bus ?

[@anabelle3416]

How do you know which train to take? Is there several trains going to Penn Station NY?

[@TravelWithVic]

Yes! There are several lines that are going to Penn Station NY. Penn Station NY would be the final destination which is listed on the timetable.

[@minzyminz9987]

hi i got lost in the part where to locate the track.. track 15 is heading to SEC?

[@Matt-hp3jm]

Just yesterday I made the NY Penn to EWR. And I had the same question. Your train will be listed on the LED monitor, but it will not be assigned a track until about 10 minutes before departure. So just keep an eye on it and the track number will populate.

[@heli-crewhgs5285]

Would the AirTrain be classed as a monorail?

Can I buy a Round trip ticket with 2 weeks between them, from NJ Transit to Penn Statin?

[@TravelwithTasha393]

Yes you can! You can buy the tickets all at once and keep them with you!! There is no expiration date on them

[@geoffreyhansen8543]

The monorail looks like the monorail that was in Sydney, Australia.

[@annieliu9677]

Does anyone know if the air train is running 24 hours or when it is off? I will be visiting soon and my flight is 6:30am back. So I will Need to arrive by 5:00am. Also, do you know how safe it is taking public transport with two three transfers at 4:00am?

[@thefuturefrontierpilot75]

Hey, I know it's a bit late, but the AirTrain runs 24 hrs with reduced services late evening into early morning for scheduled maintenance. NJ Transit and Amtrak will not stop at the station from 12-5am

[@hatemkamal1682]

So the Air-train is free and you just pay for the NJ Transit? You scanned the ticket just to get out from the NJ Transit area NOT to ride the Air-train. Correct?

[@brianaviation3072]

Wow! No more awful bus ride to the New York Port Authority bus terminal. You left out the most important parts though, the times and the price, and how long is the ride, total from the airport to Penn Station NY?

Looks like a little more than 30 minutes based on that he took a 1:55pm train and when he's checking the departures board at 8:47 the airTrain entrance the clock says 2:24pm
