EWR - am I just lucky?

Unlike most here, I find EWR pretty good overall. I fly slightly more than OP, but hardly ever have an issue.
(my departing flights either originate from EWR or I take a small feeder flight from AVP.)
  • Haven't had to do any C to A or A to C transfers: AVP flights always arrived at C, and mostly just one or two gates away from departing flight to Asia.
  • EWR Lounge/Club situation is pretty darn good nowadays, although admittedly I am always there when the crowds aren't.
  • You can easily walk from P4 parking to Terminal C.
  • Polaris/1K check-in is fast and [mostly] convenient
  • CLEAR and/or TSApre usually has very small lines/waits (at the times I am there).
  • GE helps [International] arrivals be super speedy.
  • Luggage can take a while to arrive on carousel, but I rarely fly with checked luggage these days.
  • Flights have been arriving early and with gates available more and more over the past year or so.
