What’s Cheapest Way To Get From JFK to EWR Newark?
Any recommendations on the cheapest way to get from JFK Airport to EWR Newark Airport?
I am flying into JFK and my connecting flight is from EWR.
I am traveling by myself with just a carry-on.
Is there an airport shuttle from JFK to EWR?

I’ve done JFK Airtrain to LIRR to NJ Transit to Newark Airtrain.
Takes about 75 minutes if you can time it well, 90 minutes is more realistic.
Check schedules ahead.

I would recommend Air Train -> LIRR (Jamaica) -> NJT (Penn Station) -> Air Train (Newark Airport).
If it’s late at night, I would research if there are direct busses which might be cheaper with fewer transfers and less hassle.
The above would cost around $35 but I would highly discourage trying to go cheaper by using the bus or subway.
It will take longer than you ever imagined, or than Google Maps tells you.
The LIRR portion is a little cheaper when you select “city ticket” (which used to be only available on weekends, but seems to be available throughout the week now).

The absolute cheapest way is to take the AirTrain to Lefferts Blvd., then the Q10 bus to Queens Blvd. ($2.90), then the E train to Penn Station (free transfer), then the NJT to Newark Airport Station (not sure how much $$), and then the EWR AirTrain.
Word of caution, that it takes forever.
Budget at least 1.30-2 hours.

Seriously consider changing your flight reservations.
Do either all JFK or all EWR.
Whatever that costs just might be worth it.

Walking is free…if that’s too slow but you’re still super cheap probably AirTrain JFK to subway to PATH in NYC to Newark Penn Station to a bus to EWR.
It’s not going to be super fast since you’re talking about changing between four different transit lines (Airtrain to subway to different subway to bus).
If you want to be even LESS cheap and faster, Airtrain to Long Island Railway to Penn Station in Midtown to an NJ Transit train to AirTrain EWR.
The trains involved aren’t making as many stops and travel faster.

Most cost-efficient: walk.
Most practical: car service, like Carmel.
Taxis and rideshares like Lyft also an option.
It also depends on your timetable.
You could probably take public transit from JFK into the city and then at Penn Station, grab a NJ Transit train to Newark.
There are 2 Newark stops on NJ Transit, and one of them is directly connected to Newark Airport’s sky train system.

There is a JFK to EWR Airport Shuttle.
That is probably easier and cheaper than public transit.
It used to cost $30 pre-covid but not sure anymore.
