Longer trips and Amtrak
To Trenton Transit Center, NJ Transit on the NEC line takes 68 minutes for $23.25. Amtrak's Northeast Regional line covers the same trip in 40 minutes, and the cost varies. Check both before you choose, as the faster train is not always the cheaper one.
AirTrain and pick ups
The AirTrain is free between terminals, hotel shuttles, rental cars and parking areas. If you do not already hold an Amtrak or NJ Transit ticket, there is an $8.75 fee to use the AirTrain. The AirTrain does not connect directly to Terminal A: it is a 15 minute walk on a covered pathway or a 5 minute shuttle ride. For authorised vehicles such as yellow or white marked cabs, Ubers or Lyfts, go to the official pick up areas. Taxi fare estimates exclude tips, tolls, MTA congestion pricing and additional fees of $6.75 to $15.75 depending on time of day and destination. Having data working on landing makes it easier to check train times and book a ride.
Skip the airport Wi-Fi
Airport Wi-Fi usually means a sign-up page, an email address and a connection that stops at the terminal doors. A data eSIM keeps you online at the gate, in the taxi and at the hotel, and your own number stays on for calls and bank codes.
