Surprisingly, despite being considered a \u201cNew York airport,&#8221; Newark Airport is actually located in the neighboring state of <strong>New Jersey<\/strong>.\u00a0 At a glance, here are some of the most important things to know about Newark:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Newark Airport is located between the cities of Newark and Elizabeth, New Jersey.<\/li>\n<li>Newark is a major travel hub for both domestic and <strong>international<\/strong> travelers.<\/li>\n<li>In fact, EWR is the 15th busiest airport in the United States and in the top 50 busiest airports in the world, serving about 43 million people annually.<\/li>\n<li>Because the airport is out of state, the MTA\u2014New York City\u2019s public transportation system\u2014does not run any subway or bus lines to Newark.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Don\u2019t let that last fact make you change your flight just yet! Despite being out-of-state, Newark Airport is actually only 15 miles from Midtown Manhattan, and is actually closer to Manhattan than<strong> JFK Airport<\/strong>.

The airport is easily accessible by several rail lines out of New York City.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Traveling by NJ Transit Rail<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>New Jersey Transit<\/strong> offers convenient and direct connection to the AirTrain monorail system that serves Newark Airport.

The cabs can pick you up curbside and will drive you directly to Manhattan, but you can expect the convenience of that direct route to be costly. Taxi fare to and from Newark is metered, and you can expect a trip to cost anywhere from $50-$75, plus gratuity and tolls.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest benefit of traveling by taxi is that you won\u2019t have to worry about keeping track of heavy luggage.
