Why the Gulf hubs suit US flights
Dubai, Doha and Abu Dhabi all run frequent non-stops to the New York area, so a single Gulf connection keeps total time down. Etihad's Abu Dhabi hub offers US Customs pre-clearance, letting you clear immigration before boarding and arrive at EWR as a domestic passenger — useful if you have an onward US flight.

Arriving at Newark Liberty (EWR)
Newark Liberty serves the wider New York region. After immigration and baggage, the AirTrain connects terminals to Newark Airport rail station, where NJ Transit and Amtrak trains reach New York Penn Station in roughly 30–45 minutes. Taxis and rideshares serve Manhattan and New Jersey directly. Allow generous time for any onward connection given the size of the airport.
Baggage and fare classes
Gulf carriers typically allow 2 checked bags (often 23 kg each) on US routes in economy plus 7 kg cabin — generous for students and migrants. Confirm the piece allowance on your specific fare and ticket. Premium economy and business raise both comfort and baggage, which many value on a 20-hour journey.

Newark and the NY metro for Indians
Newark puts you within reach of New York City and the heavily Indian neighbourhoods of New Jersey, such as Edison and Jersey City, with temples, gurudwaras, grocery stores and South Indian restaurants. The metro has strong job markets in finance, tech, pharma and healthcare, and respected universities nearby. It's one of the most established landing spots for Malayali and wider Indian families in the US.
US visa and entry for Indians
Indian passport holders need a US visa — usually a B1/B2 for tourism or business, or an F-1 for study — obtained in advance; there is no visa-on-arrival. Visa interview wait times in India can be lengthy, so apply months ahead. Carry your DS-160 confirmation, appointment letter and supporting documents. At EWR, officers may ask about your purpose of visit and return plans.
