Top tips for finding a cheap flight out of Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR)
Book in the Goldilocks Window
Airlines often ramp up prices in the weeks before a flight. While it seems like they would lower prices as flights get close, especially if they’re trying to fill seats, we’ve found that’s not the case. Prices are almost guaranteed to rise at the 21-day, 14-day, and 7-day points. But you should actually be booking a lot sooner than that.
To get the best deal, we recommend booking 1-3 months before a domestic trip or 2-8 months before an international trip. We call this time period the Goldilocks Window because it’s not too far ahead but also not too last minute.
That said, If you’re planning to travel during peak season, like summer or winter holidays, we suggest looking for flights even further ahead of time. Think June or July for a winter trip and December or January for a summer vacation.
Use the Greek Islands Trick
The Greek Islands Trick doesn’t only work for Greek Islands, but let’s use them as an example. Say you want to fly from Newark to Naxos in June, but tickets are $1,200 roundtrip. Consider flying to London instead for $500 roundtrip. From there, you could find a flight to Naxos for under $200. Flights within Europe are often cheaper, especially if you’re willing to fly on a budget airline.
Focus on getting across the ocean or finding the cheapest flight that gets you close to your final destination. Then, look for a separate flight, train, or ferry ticket (you could even rent a car if you have extra time and are up for road-tripping) that closes the gap. It requires a bit more time and planning, but the savings can be worth it.
Search alternate airports
If you live in Newark, you’re probably already in the habit of looking for flights not just out of Liberty but out of LaGuardia and JFK as well. But it might be worth looking even farther away, like Philadelphia or Boston. When looking at long-haul flights, it can sometimes even make sense to look at flights departing from airports around the country.
If you live in New York or nearby, why would you look for flights out of Miami, Chicago, or LA? Because sometimes, airlines drop amazing deals for cities that are worth the connecting flight. Like, deals so good it’s hard to believe they’re real. We’ve seen $63 from Atlanta to Chile roundtrip, for example. Or $202 from Los Angeles to Japan. Sounds worth adding a domestic flight across the country to us.
Fly at the cheapest times
Summer is the peak season for travel in most of the world, New Jersey included. School’s out, families take vacations, and people sometimes have more work flexibility. Of course, with more people traveling, flight prices tend to rise.
We like to fly during shoulder season, the time between the peak and low travel times. Not only does this time offer the best opportunity to save money, but you get to see the world with fewer tourists.
Sometimes though, you have to travel during peak seasons. If that’s the case, try to fly on cheaper days like Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. Unsurprisingly, Fridays and Sundays, when people take weekend trips, are usually the most expensive days.
Set up fare alerts
Email alerts are your friend. They help you stay on top of constantly changing flight prices without having to manually check them. Set an alert, and you’ll receive an email when the price drops down to a specific range. We recommend doing this at least a few months before you plan to travel to get the best deal.

How early should I arrive to Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) before my flight?
Newark Liberty recommends arriving at the airport two hours before a domestic flight and three hours before an international flight. But do you really need to be there that early? Or should you get there even earlier? Well, it depends.
Where’s your gate? Newark is a pretty large airport, and if you’re walking to, say, Gate C132, it could take 15-20 minutes to get there, so check your gate.
Are you checked in? If you can check in online, you’ll save some time. Airlines have a check-in cutoff, typically 30-60 minutes before departing. So if you can’t check in online, you’ll have to get there in time to wait in the check-in line.

How busy is the airport? On an average day, the security wait at Newark Liberty is about 23 minutes, but it’s a popular business travel airport, and on Mondays, the wait can be up to 60 minutes. Wait times can also be long if you’re traveling around a holiday, during summer, or on busier days like Friday and Sunday.
Because of the various factors at EWR, we recommend arriving at least one hour before your flight, but 1.5-2 hours is a safer bet most days.
