I fly out of Newark regularly because it's less of a hassle from my home in upstate NY. Been using this airport for ten years and in all honesty, can say that I've never problems (forgiving weather, cancelled/delayed flights). There is on-site airport self park and valet parking, as well as off-site parking (via shuttle bus). If you're driving to the airport, you'll want to pay attention to the signs as to which terminal your flight departs/arrives from. This will allow you to park closer to the terminal, otherwise it can be a hike and hassle especially if you're schlepping bags, small children or cranky spouse or relative. The airport is large and you "commute" between terminals via a tram which runs regularly every 5-6 minutes. The stops are clearly marked and there are announcements on-board, however, you'll want to pay attention. I especially like Terminal C (Continental) because there are lots more shops, restaurants and services (love the Departure Spa if you're waiting for a flight. Terminals A & B also have services. Taxi service is outside of each terminal and you'll want to make sure you grab one with a meter--not a gypsy cab or limousine looking to pick up a fare. Certainly ask what your estimated fare is to your destination and if tolls are included to avoid getting ripped off. The airport is run by the Port Authority of NY/NJ. Much money has been pumped into the airport to bring up its facilities and its a welcome change.

The Newark Airport, located in Newark, New Jersey is large and accommodating. I recently arrived there on a business trip just 3 days ago flying via Continental Airlines. The flight with Continental was enjoyable and fast. We got there 30 minutes ahead of schedule. In Newark Airport, there are many shops there and service and safety there was great. I would say that this airport is comparable to the larger airports like LAX in Los Angeles. Overall the experience was really great. But let me say again, the airport is VERY large (it took me quite a while to get where I was going I had to go pretty far to get to certain terminals).
