Trevl - NY Upper East Side to Newark Airport??

Hi everyone,
This coming weekend I'll be overnighting in NY and on Sunday need to
travel from around East 69th St, NY, to Newark Airport. Could someone
advise the easiest and most cost effective?

EG. Cab to Penn Station then tranin to Newark, or Subway to Penn, the
Train to Newark, or Cab all the way?

I have a medium suitcase and carry on.

Thanks again.

Hi,

The cheapest way would probably be to use http://www.supershuttle.com/

They will pick you up at your location, and take you to the airport.

The disadvantage is that they might have to pick up other people on the way,
making the trip longer.

Of course the most cost effective will be not using any cabs. If you can
manage your luggage use the subway and train.

I'd avoid services like Super Shuttle at all costs. They are slow and
crowded.

I've only used them twice, but they were neither late nor overly
crowded either time.

I tried them from JFK to Manhattan. He circled the airport multiple
times, hoping to find more passengers. He stopped for gas and only got a
few gallons. He stopped for doughnuts and coffee. Then of course there's
the usual delays as he drives around Manhattan to the various hotels
where people are to be dropped off.

On the return to JFK we took the subway. Much faster, much cheaper, much
more room.

I used Super Shuttle twice from upper Manhattan to LaGuardia. Other
than two or three stops to pick up other passengers, they always went
straight to the airport. I never used them on the way in, because both
times I had arrived at a different airport, or city. There is also a
city bus which serves LaGuardia which is very cheap and quick to and
from upper Manhattan. I think it was less than half an hour from the A
train stop at 125th St.

To and from Kennedy, I use either the subway or the shuttle bus that
stops at Grand Central. The bus is quicker and less hassle, but is
also more expensive. For two or three people, a cab from JFK to
Manhattan is not a bad deal, because there is a flat price. (I think
the same is true from LaGuardia, but I'm not sure.) On the return
trip, however, the price is metered.
