Newark Liberty Airport and onward travel
Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) sits about 26 km south-west of Manhattan in New Jersey. The AirTrain connects terminals to Newark Liberty rail station, from where NJ Transit and Amtrak run into New York Penn Station in around 25–30 minutes. Taxis and rideshare to Manhattan take 30–50 minutes depending on traffic. For New Jersey's large Indian neighbourhoods like Edison and Jersey City, EWR is often the most convenient airport.
US baggage rules and fares
Economy tickets to the US on United, Air India, Emirates and Lufthansa typically include 2 checked bags of 23 kg each plus 7–8 kg cabin — more generous than many other long-haul markets, which helps families carrying gifts. Confirm whether your specific fare includes one or two bags, since the cheapest buckets can vary. Pre-paying any extra bag online is far cheaper than airport excess, which can exceed ₹8,000 per bag.
Best time to fly and price ranges
The cheapest windows are February–April and September–October, when round-trip economy from Amritsar typically falls in the ₹90,000–₹1,25,000 range. The summer visiting season (May–July) and the December festive period push fares to ₹1,40,000–₹1,90,000. With US-bound seats in high demand from Punjab, booking 2–4 months ahead is wise to lock in value.
Newark and the New York area for Indians
Newark itself is a practical base, but most travellers head to nearby New York City and the Indian hubs of Edison, Iselin and Jersey City's India Square, packed with restaurants, sweet shops and grocery stores. From here, Manhattan's sights, Niagara Falls day trips and the wider US north-east are all within reach. For many Punjabi families, the trip blends sightseeing with reconnecting with relatives settled across New Jersey.
US visa requirements for Indians
Indian passport holders need a US visa before travelling. Tourists and visiting family apply for the B1/B2 visitor visa, which requires an online DS-160 form and an in-person interview; appointment wait times in India can be long, so apply months ahead. A valid B1/B2 is typically issued for up to 10 years with stays granted at the border. See our visa guide and the official US travel docs portal for current details.
