Flight out of NJ

[JoiseyMom]

The past two trips we flew out of Atlantic City. We saved a fortune in parking and it is worth the car drive. The airport there is small, and it is so much better than Newark. We live in Monmouth County, and I hate EWR!! Spirit flies out of AC.

I'm actually in northern nj closer to NYC, LGA and JFK but they don't go to Florida either. It's really not convenient to travel to a different airport other than EWR though because we'll be relying on grandparents to drop us off at the airport.

We found that it was cheaper to go out of LGA and pay for a car service both ways than flying out of Newark. Our flight out of LGA was $159 (I think) and the car service cost us $100 RT. So for 2 adults RT from LGA w/ car service it was $418. 2 RT Tix from EWR would have cost us $600 (plus we would have had to take a car service anyway since we had no one who could give us a ride)

I was really anti-LGA at first (since I grew up 10 minutes from EWR). Run the numbers w/ a car service, you might be surprised.

We have flown Delta's Song out of Newark several times... with good results (flysong.com).... also had good luck with AirTran out of Philly... they fly direct to MCO, from Newark you have to transfer in Atlanta.
Good luck!

Thx everyone. I'm gonna crunch the numbers and if the savings is significant, I guess I'll ask nicely if they won't mind dropping us off at LGA or JFK.

If you are closer to NYC and closer to JFK I would suggest flying JetBlue out of JFK. They have a nice terminal, and when I fly to FL I ALWAYS fly JetBlue. They are nice and they have TV's. I don't know when you are going but they are having amazing deals now if you are flying before the end of May (I think its $69 one way to Orlando from JFK). Check out their website: www.jetblue.com

I'm flying in september and it looks like song out of JFK is the way to go. I'm just gonna have to get a ride out to NYC.

I bought tickets on Delta song for 135.00 rt direct flight out of jfk. I t seems that sometimes the flights out of Laguardia are cheaper. A lot of people don't like flying out of that airport for some reason. Goood luck. debi

We're using Spirit Airlines (from Atlantic City) for the 2nd time for our trip in April. While not luxurious, the planes are clean & certainly worth the savings. We booked 3 months in advance and paid $613.00 for the 4 of us round trip. There were absolutely no crowds in the airport and no waiting for anything (except while checking luggage). And even that went quick. I would recommend it to anyone.

Independence air...www.flyi.com

the tickets arent on sale for those dates but to give you an idea they have a sale through may 25 and it is 180 RT

We looked at flights from Newark and all NY airports for a few months around Dec to fly down on April 23 to Orlando. They were all over $350! Jet BLue was $500 each way pp! We were going to drive when we found United out of Philly for $229 round trip pp. We hate Delta Song, but would have done that too if it had been less. I even called two travel agents who told me to grab anything under $400 at that time.
What happened? I can't believe that we could have gone JetBlue for under $200 pp from JFK?

I Am Also In Nj Teaneck. It Is Actually Closer To Travel To Lga Then Ewr. Lga Takes 22 Minutes (with No Traffic) Ewr Is 45 Minutes (with No Traffic)

The Flights Are Cheaper, And Also The People Are So Much Friendly.
Even Going Thru Check Points Are A Very Good Experience. Can't Say The Same For Newark.

I Go To Mco Twice A Year November For Dcl (nj Teacher's Convention) & President's Week February Vacation, Both The Busiest Times To Fly. We Love Lga, Would Prefer To Fly With Them.

In The Long Run, It Is Cheaper To Use Car Service, & Fly Lga Then To Fly Ewr.

We Are Flying Delta Song This November For Only 110.00 Round Trip.
We Will Be Searching & Booking This Weekend For Feb 2005

Hope This Helps

flyi.com doesn't have september's rates up yet so I don't know if i should wait and see what they come up with in regards to flights out of ewr or just book with song (which right now is $79 one way out of LGR or JFK).
