Do keep in mind we (as pilots) get a little something for the inconvenience, whereas the FAs do not....or At least to the level we do... but then again I may have been “duped” by the 3 FAs,... but really it was about the safe and efficient ride that I got from point A to point B , So ya, I felt the driver needed to be rewarded for it.

Rewarded? They’re being paid by United for a service. I don’t really understand.

Just go into Flying Together and type "EWR-LGA Shuttle" in the search window.

This is a whole lot more reliable than a sketchy picture of some old printout someone had off a 'friend.'

Found it, thanks!

Last time I did that it was a bus to penn, nj transit to newark airport station, and then the airtrain and was $25. It also took 2hours terminal to terminal while lugging my bag. Door to door for free in comfort and being nice to our fa's and van driver... 20 bucks sounds like a bargain.

Does it really only go 6 time per day like it shows on flying together ?

Yes. Seems reasonable for a free shuttle, I'd say. Especially since the company is also giving you about an extra $95 in "cross town" tax free per-diem for an LGA trip.

Q70 bus to Woodside $2.75
LIRR to NY Penn $6.25
NJ Transit NY Penn to EWR $13.00


It can be done in an hour if you hit it right but dragging your bag is a pain.

$96.20. Just for those that care.....
