Thanks to all that posted here 👍
yes 1 checked bag
yes global entry
what is mpc Mileage plus App?I rarely fly United it’s at the very bottom for me with only Delta being less desirable
who knew 767s were still being flown across the pond?🤷‍♂️
Typically a One World flyer here having earned some ten million miles with lifetime emerald
Im flying BA home but if we booked the same flight that would mean family member switching from jfk to lga a day later to get home

Probably is the big question 🫣🫨😃
if one doesn’t make the flight does united rebook with ease for next day?
or is one S out of luck?
Assume a hotel from United is out of the question if the flight is delayed?

US Citizen? Global Entry?
Any checked bags?

I would risk the connection with carry-on only and my Global Entry.
With checked bag and/or Non-US passport, it seems awfully risky.

On the plus side, a late evening UAX flight out of EWR has a good chance of being delayed anyway.
Does it get any better in the world than World Crass New Ark ?
They are famous for their lack of air traffic controllers and united planes smacking into one other 😂
Back in the day they were my carrier of choice for real! And they were excellent in my younger perception
