What’s the best airport to use for Lakewood, NJ?

[yuneeq]

One of the big cons of Lakewood is the fact that there are no international airports nearby. You have EWR an hour north and PHL about 1 ¼ southwest.

EWR is obviously a bigger airport with more flights (and United if you have their status), but if PHL has the flight I need, they’re my first choice for a few reasons:

• Fewer tolls to/from the airport
• Parking is substantially cheaper
• Traffic to the airport is much more predictable
• The airport is very quiet and security is quick
• I’ve never experienced a delay due to congestion

Yet, PHL is not even on the radar of most people I know. What am I missing?

I’ve had plenty of terrible experiences waiting at lengthy security lines at PHL. Still would use it but I prefer EWR.

I’ve had plenty of terrible experiences waiting at lengthy security lines at PHL. Still would use it but I prefer EWR.

I’ve never had a bad security line at PHL. Though I almost always fly in the evening.

So the real question would be, how does everyone hack EWR?

Repost alert
ETA: Actually not a repost, but a setirah. From the raisha, it is muchach that it IS worth flying from TTN. But from the seifa, it's muchach that it's only ALMOST worth flying from TTN. Is there a chisurei mechserah here?

There can be other factors involved

There can be other factors involved

like if you're one mad only flight is delayed or cancelled, your done? These types of flights you fly when you WANT to be somewhere. Not when you NEED to be somewhere
