Flights from California to New York: the best tips from KAYAK users

Insights shared by verified travelers who flew the route from California to New York 
ElenaFlew with United AirlinesSFO-EWRJun 2025
Construction in the terminal so allow for extra time in SFO. Very easy finding luggage and getting outside at Newark. Also, this time, took the Express Bus into Manhattan - $25 is a good price, though the bus arrived 20 minutes after the scheduled time.
MathewFlew with DeltaSAN-JFKJun 2025
Make sure to pack 2-3 days of clothing in a carryon.
MaryannFlew with United AirlinesSFO-EWRMar 2025
Bring your own food with you. Airport and airline food is expensive and you WILL need something to eat on such a long flight.
JFlew with Alaska AirlinesLAX-EWROct 2024
You get a little a Pretzel bag or Biscoff crackers. Bring your snacks for the long haul. And listen for free gate checks !
alanFlew with Alaska AirlinesLAX-EWRJul 2024
Show up early. Security line was long (admittedly at the end of the 4th of July weekend).
RobertFlew with Alaska AirlinesSFO-EWRJun 2024
Bring some food on board for the flight
BlancaFlew with Alaska AirlinesSAN-EWRMay 2024
Don't forget your headsets and there is no screens so make sure you bring one from entertainment!
MagedaFlew with United AirlinesLAX-EWRFeb 2024
If you use the United mileage card, you will have priority boarding, which puts you to board in group 2, you get one free luggage checked in, gives you 2 free annual passes for United Club, drop off bags it's easy and convenient on level 2 in both airports Lax and Newark after checking in online
