I arrived at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) around midnight. Since it was late and still dark outside, I decided to stay inside the airport and wait until after sunrise (around 6:00 a.m.) to start my journey into the city, as it felt safer to travel in daylight. Once I was ready to leave, I took the AirTrain Newark to Newark Penn Station, and from there, I took a train into New York Penn Station in Manhattan. The total cost for this route was around $17. It was one of the more affordable and straightforward ways to reach the city from the airport. From Penn Station, I continued to my hostel near Central Park. Unfortunately, the subway station I exited didn’t have an elevator or escalator, so I had to carry my heavy luggage up the stairs by myself, which was exhausting after a long night of travel. When I reached my hostel early in the morning, check-in wasn’t available yet, so I left my bags in their luggage storage and took some time to explore the neighborhood. I walked around, grabbed a few snacks, and picked up a SIM card to get my phone connected for the rest of the trip. It was a tiring arrival, but manageable and once I got moving, I was able to settle in and start enjoying the city.

The airport and service was quick.

#AustraliaFlightEvent The train I took to go from Liberty International Airport to Manhattan during my trip to New York.

You can buy the ticket at the machine and make sure to have it with you because the ticket inspector will check it.🎫

I tried the Choco Pie snack provided by Air Premia when I was feeling hungry during the flight. The sweet snack felt like it was soothing my tired body. I also tried the ramen that you can order on the plane, and the rich broth made it great for when you miss Korean food while traveling. Since a snack or a bowl of warm ramen can be a great help on a long-distance flight, I think it's a good tip to pack a light snack. #Air Premia #Air PremiaRamen #InflightSnack #ChocoPie #RamenOnAirplane #NewYorkKoreanFlight #JanuaryTravelSupportEvent

#10월여행지원금이벤트 To catch the hotel shuttle at New York Newark Airport Terminal A, you need to move between terminals. I took a bus, not a regular train, to move between terminals, and the travel time was quite long. Since there are multiple terminals, you must check which terminal you are getting off at.

#October Travel Support Event After arriving at Newark Airport, I had to board the AirTrain to catch the hotel shuttle bus, but I was confused because it was a general parking area.

#10월여행지원금이벤트 I arrived at New York Newark Airport from Canada. I arrived late at night, so the airport was quiet.

✈️Taking the direct flight to US may seem to be daunting journey. However, with Singapore Airlines, this 18-hour trip doesn’t feel that long. SQ22 to EWR is now the second longest flight (shy of 5 minutes from another SQ flight to JFK airport). 🍲The food is fantastic and the crew is super helpful. 👩‍✈️Our flight was full but the crew did a very good job of taking care all passengers 👍🏻 Personally I prefer flying to EWR as the custom and border clearance is super fast. Landing at 6am in Newark, we are the only incoming flight landed. #wecreate #singaporeair
