I need to get from midtown Manhattan (32nd Street) to Newark Airport Thursday afternoon. I'm trying to figure out whether it makes sense to take the PATH train. The questions that the Port Authority Website doesn't answer are, how close will PATH get me to the airport? And what will they charge me to take the AirTrain from the PATH station to Terminal A.
What I have been able to determine is that the fare quoted from NY Penn Station to Newark Airport by NJ Transit, including the AirTrain, is $14 (assuming I buy a ticket before I board the train); the PATH fare is $1.50. NJT is 25 minutes; PATH about 35 (changing at Journal Square). Also that the PATH station is a couple of blocks closer to my office than NJ Transit (which is out of Penn Station NY).
Has anyone done this via PATH? How well did it work?
ETA: The AirTrain Web page says that to get there by PATH, I'd need to take PATH to Newark and change for a NJ Transit train the rest of the way. Which sounds as though I'd be using extra time and saving little or no money; the shorter walk at the Manhattan end doesn't seem worth it. Ah, well.
