Flying
Newark International Airport (EWR) is the most popular airport to fly out of with many flight options. EWR is approximately thirty minutes away from the Somerset Hills area, but there is usually traffic making the ride slightly longer. If EWR flight schedules do not work out, there is also the option of flying out of JFK, LGA, PHL, or ACY. Snowbirds or those with second residences in Florida and other destinations love the option to take budget airline Frontier out of Trenton-Mercer airport located approximately an hour away as a easy, low-cost option for frequent leisure travel.
