Hi Guys,

I unfortunately have to travel from BHX to Oklahoma City in October in the "lovely" continental international business cabin. I'm connecting in EWR on both the outbound and return. On the return journey I have 7hrs 15minutes between my flight arriving at EWR and my onward flight to BHX.

I have been to EWR & New York City before and enjoy taking the quick train jounrney to New York Penn. This journey I'll be travelling with my mum and would love to spend a few hours giving her a whistle stop tour of NYC as she hasnt been there before...

My question is - Is there anything stopping me from going for quick trip to NYC in between these flights? Has anyone done anything similar before?

Thanks in advance,

Alex.

Nothing is stopping you. Check your baggage thru and carry light hand baggage. Go to Macys, Time Square, go look at and walk thru the Concorde on the west side. Have a blast!

The only 'bad' thing is paying the US5.00 each way on the AirTrain. grrrrr. But you can earn VS miles/TPs on CO.
