Just looked it up on the MTA website and my airline travel site. Looks like I will fly into EWR Friday morning and fly out of JFK Friday evening. I was planning on going Saturday with my wife, but the flights to EWR and JFK aren’t as appealing on Saturday plus my wife doesn’t REALLY want to go. Thanks again Jeremy.

Thanks for the tips! JFK would be nice, but there is only one flight per day from where I live and it gets in too late. I might try EWR though. I would have to go Friday as the first flight out on Saturday is much later in the morning (due to less business traffic).

An hour’s travel time from the airport in New York isn’t bad, but you can actually do better. JFK airport and Newark are both directly served by trains – from JFK, use the AirTrain to Jamaica Station and the Long Island Railroad (LIRR) from there to Penn Station – avoid the subway. From Newark there are direct trains to Penn Station as well. With LaGuardia the best option is the NY Airport bus that takes you into midtown. Get off at Penn Station – the convention center is within walking distance. I really don’t think the “two buses and a subway ride” makes sense for any of the three major airports!
