From memory:

JFK: just have to transfer from AirTrain to regular subway in Jamaica (?) Queens.

Newark: take the bus to Newark station and take PATH train to lower Manhattan.

Plus you get to see real New Jersians and New Yorkers. They are not overly friendly and they dress way too fancy compared to the Californians.

> Newark: take the bus to Newark station and take PATH train to lower Manhattan

From Manhattan, it's an NJT to the Newark airport stop from where the cutest little monorail [1] takes you to the airport.

Also one of the slowest monorails I’ve been on, even the Tokyo monorail built in 1964 was faster :)

JFK is actually even easier, in that you have LIRR trains departing from Jamaica to Penn Station (and in the future, Grand Central) every few minutes at nearly all hours of the day, and the transfer is a single elevator ride. You can be in Manhattan within 35 minutes of leaving the terminal.
