Departing from Newark (EWR) FAQs

In October, Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) typically offers multiple daily nonstop flights to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) operated by carriers such as United Airlines and sometimes American and JetBlue. Frequency can vary by week, with more options on weekdays and slightly fewer late-night departures; check airline timetables and book early for the best seats and fares. Use real-time schedule lookups to confirm exact daily departures for your travel dates.

The average nonstop flight time from Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is around 5 hours and 40 minutes to 6 hours, depending on winds and routing. Time zone changes mean you’ll lose three hours (Eastern to Pacific), so a morning departure often arrives early afternoon local time. For planning, allow additional time for boarding, taxiing, and possible air traffic delays.

To find cheap flights in October, search 3–8 weeks in advance, compare flexible dates mid-week (Tuesdays/Wednesdays often cheaper), and use fare alerts from aggregators like Google Flights and Skyscanner. Consider red-eye or early morning departures and be flexible with return dates to capture lower fares; booking nonrefundable basic economy fares can save money but check baggage rules. Also compare nonstop versus one-stop itineraries — sometimes a short connection via Chicago (ORD) or Dallas (DFW) can reduce cost significantly.

From Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) you can take the NJ Transit or Amtrak to New York Penn Station via the AirTrain EWR connector, ride the dedicated Newark Airport Express bus, use taxis, rideshares (Uber/Lyft), and private shuttle services. Travel time to Midtown Manhattan ranges from 20 minutes (AirTrain + NJ Transit express) to 60+ minutes depending on traffic for cars, so allow extra time for morning or evening peak congestion. Plan transit time into your departure window to avoid stress before long-haul flights to Los Angeles.

October travel can be affected by occasional East Coast storms or airline schedule adjustments after summer peak season; however, major disruptions are uncommon compared to winter months. Wildfire smoke in California can affect inbound LAX operations and air quality in Los Angeles — check NOAA and airline advisories before travel. Always verify your flight status on the airline app the day of travel and enroll in flight alerts for real-time updates.

Check your airline’s baggage policy for carry-on and checked allowance — basic economy often restricts overhead bags — and complete online check-in 24 hours before departure to secure seats and faster boarding at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR). October weather can be variable in Newark and mild in Los Angeles, so pack layers and consider a small carry-on with essentials in case of checked baggage delays. Arrive at least 2 hours early for domestic flights and 3 hours if you need additional services or are traveling with large groups.

Check local news and airline advisories for any air-quality or traffic updates before arrival.

If you arrive internationally into Newark and need to connect to a domestic flight to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), allow at least 2.5–3 hours to clear customs, collect bags, and transfer between terminals via AirTrain.

Baggage claim times at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) typically range from 15 to 45 minutes after aircraft arrival, depending on aircraft size and whether bags are delayed by sorting or terminals.

For delayed or missing luggage, contact the airline baggage office located within each terminal.
