This weekend I went out of town. I have flown in and out of the Philadelphia airport several times now but this time I tried flying out of Newark because the tickets were cheaper. It was quite the experience!
Getting to Newark airport:
Getting to Newark airport is about a 2 1/2 hour train ride from Philadelphia. However, you do need to add extra time for transferring between the trains. There are two trains you will take to get to Newark. The first is from 30th street station to Trenton. The next train is from Trenton to the airport. In total, it took me about 4 hours to get from my house to the airport terminal and honestly I'm not sure it was worth the hassle but for those wishing to save a bit of money it is an option.
Options getting to and from Philadelphia airport:
Lady Liberty shuttle- this shuttle is available to take individuals from their homes to the airport for only $10.
If you are going to the airport you just need to call and make a
reservation. If you are returning from the airport you do not need a
reservation, simply go to the desk near the baggage claim.
Septa Airport Line- there is also a train that runs from 30th Street station to the airport every 30 minutes. This costs $15 round trip.
Taxi- you can take a taxi directly to the airport for a $28 flat fee.
