4L, 4R, 22R, 22L85mm+
Private property directly across the NJ Turnpike from the airport; reachable via I-95/NJ Turnpike exit 13A or a free shuttle from Port Authority Bus Terminal. Police/security have been known to be aggressive toward spotters here and can confiscate film if asked to leave.
22L, 22R, 4L, 4R
Located on Airis Road near the cargo-handling area on the airport perimeter; offers views of landings and departures partly obstructed by fences, with taxiway views as well. Security patrols the perimeter and may tell you photography is not allowed.
4R, 4L
Located in Elizabeth, NJ; a free shuttle runs from EWR to the mall, and the parking lot is considered better than IKEA for 4R/4L landings.
22L, 22R
An on-airport paid long-term parking lot near the threshold for 22L/22R, also described elsewhere as a long-term lot north of the runways.
Reachable via the free 24/7 AirTrain to Parking P4, then up to the roof; either side of the elevator bank is a good spot. Port Authority police may ask you to leave if you don't have a car parked there.
