1. Oh no... too bad you aren't going to La Guardia.

I don't think you will make it to Newark.

2. Can you catch a train (LIRR) to Penn station.

Then take the path to newark. I think there are transfers along nj transit to newark airport.

Goodluck!!

4. Double check that you can get onto the Island because

they were saying this morning that they weren't going to allow cars onto Manhattan unless there were four riders. Don't know if they meant cabs as well.

Good luck....

13. Call LaGuardia

I believe they have shuttle buses from LaGuardia to Newark Airport. They may not be impacted by the strike.
