New Brunswick is perfectly placed between New York and Philadelphia, which means five airports are within reach. Here is how they compare.
Newark Liberty International (EWR)
About 21 miles north — typically around 30 to 45 minutes by car, depending on traffic. NJ Transit trains also run from New Brunswick station to Newark Airport station, where you connect to the AirTrain — a good option if you travel light.
JFK International
Roughly 40 miles away. Expect about an hour in light traffic, and considerably longer at rush hour. By public transit it usually takes over two hours with transfers.
LaGuardia (LGA)
LaGuardia is a similar distance to JFK. Leave extra time on weekday afternoons and Fridays.
Philadelphia International (PHL)
About 66 miles southwest — around an hour and a half by car. PHL can be a great alternative for certain routes and fares.
Train or car service?
- Train — affordable to Newark, but means walking with luggage and transfers
- Car service — door to terminal, flight tracking on pickups, room for bags, car seats and groups
