The most helpful ppl at the airport are the employees working in the Air Train waiting areas. Not only are they there to help passengers, they actually ask if anyone needs help. Very odd at EWR.
If u don't want to miss your flight get here 2 hours before for domestic flights and 4 for international.. Security lines are ridiculous busy anytime of the day:/
Use automatic tickets machines whenever possible bc check-in lines here get LOONNNGGG. Also, the SAS Biz Classlounge looks like an IKEA cafeteria and opens at 4pm daily.
The charging stations in terminal b do not work. Annoying. Otherwise no complaints. Very easy to get here from nj transit. Cheaper flights than in JFK or la guardia.
Don't be fooled by the fact your gate is already printed on your boarding card- really don't bother going to your gate early- there is literally NOTHING here. This is the worst.
Hard to rate as the layout is different each time I come here. Facilities near United gates are okay, others not so much. Unitedlounges are crowded and terrible - better to sit in general population.
Terminal A does have a United Club and it has far fewer passengers than Terminal C. The bartender is apparently bored because not enough people are asking for alcohol.
When choosing your travel outfit, less is more. Avoid wearing clothing, jewelry or other accessories that contain metal when traveling to cut your time barefoot in the security line.
Shuttle bus to the modern Terminal C runs every 5 minutes & keeps you in the secure area. There are stairs & an elevator that take you down to the bus.
Just don’t fly in or outta here. They misplaced 3 flights luggage on 6/1/22 and half of it showed up wet and it wasn’t raining. We got stuck on the runway close to two hours bc of crew shortages.
