Newark Liberty International Airport’s new Terminal A opened in January 2023, replacing a terminal that dated back to the 1970s. The modern building has high ceilings, natural light, more space for security and a wide range of dining and shops, with a new parking garage and roadway system. Newark’s other terminals — B (many international airlines) and C (United’s hub) — remain in use. As at any major airport, check your airline’s terminal before you travel.

Pickups and drop-offs

Terminal A has separate departures and arrivals levels. For pickups, your chauffeur can meet you inside with a sign or at the designated pickup area. Because the roadway layout is newer than the other terminals, give your driver your terminal and airline. Read where to meet your driver.

Getting around the airport

The AirTrain Newark monorail connects the terminals, parking and the Newark Liberty International Airport rail station for NJ Transit and Amtrak. The system is being replaced with a new AirTrain. Read the Newark AirTrain guide.

Timing

Newark is often the fastest major airport to reach from much of New Jersey and from Lower and Midtown Manhattan via the Holland or Lincoln tunnels, depending on traffic. Read Newark drive times from New Jersey.
