driving to Newark - any tips ?
Driving down to Newark from Albany early morning on Mar. 10th, to pick up someone from a Continental flight.
Will be approaching from I-287 southbound ...blah-blah......
Having never driven there before prompted the questions...
What is the best route to take to get into the airport?
Any strategic parking suggestions? Easy In vs. Easy out?
What is the car traffic like around the airport on a Sat. morning?
Appreciate any comments..........................

I live in NYC and had been to Newark numerous times. Parking is good if you get it in the car park, no-one will bother your car there. If you park it on the ground floor it will get bumped, scratched, and tires might get slashed. Oh and when you get into NYC take the Belt there vs. other highways cause Belt is the closest and fastest. You might hit traffic though.
Oh and traffic until NYC might be good. But in NYC its traffic all the time so you might get delayed.

10: Merge onto I-78 E toward LOCAL LANES / GARDEN STATE PARKWAY / NEWARK. 7.6 miles Map
11: Take the RT-21 N exit- EXIT 57- toward NEWARK / NEWARK AIRPORT. 0.3 miles Map
12: Take the ramp toward NEWARK INT'L AIRPORT MAIN TERMINALS / NEWARK INT'L AIRPORT NORTH AREA. 0.3 miles Map
13: Take the US-1 S / US-9 S ramp toward NEWARK INT'L AIRPORT MAIN TERMINALS. 0.3 miles Map

From: Any, usually behind the wing
Know which road/highway you want and REALLY watch the signs leaving the airport! You take the wrong exit and it can screw you up for an hour.
Otherwise once you get going it's not difficult.
