I've taken the AirTrain to Newark, and I love it irrationally, simply because it involves a ride on a monorail between the Newark Airport NJ Transit station and the terminals. I've never taken the LIRR AirTrain, because it's a pain to get all the way to the west side of the island just to go east. I have taken the E to JFK a few times, and it isn't fun, but $7 is sooo much cheaper than taking a taxi all the way out there.

From my door to the airport on public transportation, (1 bus and two subways, 1 more bus) I can be to the airport in 45 minutes. All for $1.50. And that's faster than most can do it in a car, too. Getting into Manhattan from either airport is insane. I'd much rather take the bus or Amtrak and be dropped off right in the center. It's cheaper, and, in the long run, takes almost the same amount of time! Another reason to love Boston.
