Public Transit Access

One notable drawback currently is the access to the new terminal via public transit, with the temporary AirTrain station located a fair distance away. Remedial plans are in place, but it may take some years before complete accessibility improvements are realized.

Travelers have reported a positive reaction to the terminal. With a well-thought-out design aimed at aviation enthusiasts, it includes ample spaces for planespotting and lounges for major airlines like American, United, and Delta. Despite minor accessibility issues, the overall feel is bright, inviting, and rich in local flair, making it a significant improvement for passengers traveling through Newark.
