I believe the airport is open, however no airlines are flying into the major NYC airports. See this http://ewr-airport.com/arrivals.cfm

The airport is closed, according to the FAA.

Yes, still closed as per news outlets - http://www.cbs6albany.com/template/inews_wire/wires.regional.ny/224c03ad-www.cbs6albany.com.shtml

 

And just FYI, the code is EWR

It is closed. There aren't many planes in the northeast right now at all. Logan Airport in Boston is open and has a few flights happening but for the most part, everything is cancelled.

 

I see you have a cruise soon. I would get on the phone with your airline and be flexible. You might need to fly out of a different airport to get to that cruise. Good luck.:)

I would keep an eye on http://fly.faa.gov/ois/. It will also advise you of any delay programs in effect.

According to several different news reports some airlines are hoping to try to resume some service to EWR and JFK at some point tomorrow (LaGuardia has flooding and there is no estimated opening time for them at this point). I'd contact your airline as, even if the airport opens, they may not fly in right away. They will try to let you know your options (I say try to because so much is changing so quickly).

 

Make sure you have transportation set for when you get there too. There's been lots of talk about challenges getting around without mass transit running and limited taxis. These challenges are expected to last for at least several days.

there's a difference between being OPEN ..and having actual flights taking off and landing.

 

you need to call your specific airline for information pertaining to your exact circumstances.
