JFK or EWR

The decision comes down to many factors, but distance from Manhattan is not usually a critical one.

Newark generally has more efficient immigration and, at some times of the day, it’s quicker by car into town. The train service to Penn is a lot more civilised than the Subway from JFK.

However, JFK has more flights, better lounges, better check-in and slicker security if you’re flying BA.

Personally, I generally try to fly into Newark and out of Kennedy – but many would probably disagree based on their own flight patterns and preferred times.

Unless your taking the http://www.ba.com/clubworldlondoncity service, I’d endorse cc’s into EWR and out of JFK approach.

The longhaul 767s have the original Club World seats, and are a tad slower than the 777s/747s plus there’s no potential for you to be bumped up to F for operational reasons; for that reason I would probably avoid them – others may prefer the fact they are in the “top” cabin and the more intimate layout of the Club cabin on those 767 aircraft. Having old or new Club on a day flight makes little difference IMHO, especially as the AVOD has been upgraded on the 767s.

You might also consider the day flights on the return journey; always nicer than an overnight.

If you fancy kicking off your trip with a weekend in Paris, explore http://www.flyopenskies.com into NYC; their premium economy BizSeat is really excellent for a day flight.

Thanks for all your responses. Agree that day flight back is much better than overnight – although you do lose a day..
