I flew our of EWR Terminal C on Saturday @ 8:15pm. The only checkpoint open was C1 so there was no pre-check obviously but there was also no Premier line. Just one long line for everyone. Also there was no expedited screening for those who had pre-check. Certainly makes it hard to plan.

CLEAR is the best investment you can make if your flying out of the intentional terminal - no wait at all, ever, - Does anyone know if Clear also has a kiosk at the UA domestic terminal?? If so, then no wait at ll

This morning PreCheck had 3 lines open at 6:20am looked messy but was about 7-8 min long. Looked like a lot of people were in line for CUN/SJU but seemed to know the PreCheck process.

I'm confused. This is a thread about Newark Airport and CLEAR isn't available there. To which international terminal are you referring? CLEAR isn't at any NY airport as far as I can see.

A gates at EWR did NOT have full pre-check this afternoon. Only the stupid pre-check lite with the orange card.
Had to dig through my roller board to get out my liquid bag.
Apparently we cannot rely on EWR A gates have pre-check. Intermittent only.

IME The "A" gates have NEVER had true pre-check for me - and I used to fly out of there A LOT! I have always gotten only the Orange card - and the long line - like in my pic below...

I flew out 2 weeks ago and the leftmost lane in A was actually an honest-to-goodness full Precheck Lane. It was amazing!!

Yes, I was used to EWR A only having the orange card. But the previous 2 times there was full blown pre-check. It was great.
Unfortunately, it appears that it is going to be hit-or-miss.
