Thank you all for your replys. We just rebooked to 7:04 AM for the BDL-EWR segment. We will have to hang out at EWR for a few hours but I guess that's better than waiting till the afternoon. We have PC passes so the wait won't be so bad.
Next question: What time do they open the bar at the PC in EWR?

Is there a better PC than another at that airport? We have time to search.
Thanks again,
Matt
