EWR Connection
Need advice. Family (n=3) was booked on a late-June nonstop IAD-DUB. United recently cancelled the nonstop and re-booked us IAD-EWR-DUB. The problem: only a 1 hour connection time at EWR (scheduled arrival 9pm;.scheduled departure 10pm) Called United, asked to be booked on an earlier IAD-EWR flight, they said it would cost an additional $1200 per passenger. Thinking we could talk AMTRAK from DC to Newark Liberty, asked whether we could cancel first leg only of outbound trip: agent said it, too, would cost an additional $1200 per person. Not sure what to do at this point: by all accounts, 1hour connection at EWR nearly guarantees we will miss the second leg of the outbound flight. Suggestions? Thanks.
