Other Spotting Locations

IKEA Elizabeth

A planespotting favorite, IKEA Elizabeth offers amazing views of EWR takeoffs and landings. The property is located directly across the New Jersey Turnpike from the airport and the parking lot is accessible at all times of day.

Area Roads

Take a short drive up and down I-95 (NJ Turnpike), I-78, or US. 9, which all border the airport. At any given time, flights pass over these major arteries, making multiple passages worthwhile.

On Airport Grounds

Like JFK, Newark-Liberty offers amazing aircraft shots from the approach ramps leading up to some terminal buildings. Aircraft views obtained from these areas on clear days also offer an amazing vista of the New York skyline, almost 15 miles away.

Locations to Avoid

Avoid any locations where you may be trespassing or destroying property. Don't loiter too long in any one spot, as police may find you suspicious.
