    Advice on whether to take Amtrak in January?

    Hello everyone, I have a flight to catch on 2023-01-18 at Newark Liberty (EWR) in the morning, and have the option of taking the Northeast Regional from Washington, DC, or a plane from Ronald Reagan (DCA). It is my first time experiencing East Coast winter. I know the weather can be...

    Questions about getting to DC from Newark Airport

    I'll consider that. I'm also considering buying two seats on a flight under my name, since it's cheaper to buy a seat than additional baggage allowance.

    Questions about getting to DC from Newark Airport

    Thanks, I found that website the other day but it didn't really mention where the luggage areas are. It looks really small, and I don't foresee being able to place my baggage there. For context, I'm using these luggages, 2 large, 2 medium, 2 small. The large ones are the max size allowed for...

    Questions about getting to DC from Newark Airport

    I have checked and the flight I'm taking has an average of being 10-20 minutes late. The total in-the-air time is remarkably consistent.

    Thanks everyone. I looked at some of the flights from EWR airport to DCA, and while there are limitations flying on United's Bombardier CRJ-550, it might be the best option considering the baggage. I'll consider the Amtrak in future trips (there are a few more later this year).

    Questions about getting to DC from Newark Airport

    The reality is there isn't a direct connection — as a foreigner I'll have to make my way through immigration and collect my baggage at the port of entry (i.e. EWR airport), and then check everything in again for a second flight. Given those hassles, and the costs of flying (money, time...

    Questions about getting to DC from Newark Airport

    Hello, This question probably has been asked several times before but information seems hard to come by and I'd like to have updated info. It will be my first time arriving at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) and it seems that there are two ways to get to Union Station in DC: (1)...
