I think the key words here are "if things were on time" - poor on-time rates for many of the WAS-EWR flights and terminal change fiascos have made me wary. I always factor ~20 minutes just for the change from A to C, knowing that I may just miss a bus or have to make it from C74 allllllll the way to C139.
I can find connection times for NW and AA, and they don't seem to consider terminal changes. But it made me curious - since COEX is almost exclusively in A, any flights connecting between CO and COEX are predictably going to include a terminal change and take a bit longer than CO to CO. It would be savvy to consider that.

I agree - EWR is not recommended for those suffering from high blood pressure. Side effects may vary.
I chickened out and took the significantly earlier flight - I have a confirmed seat in F for EWR-LAX and really want to enjoy that 752 F seat and AVOD. I'd be sad if I missed CO17 and had a middle seat in Y on a later flight. I'll survive 5 hours in the PClub. Priorities, priorities.
