connecting time in Newark
 

I have a flight connection in Newark. Is 1 hr 6 min too short?

I am connecting from a domestic ExpressJet to an International (Asia). It seems both in Term. C.

Thanks.

You should have a more than ample amount of time to connect at Newark Liberty International.

For the non-pandering among us it will always be simply Newark Airport.

I just say "Newark" !

Everyone knows :p

What? Sewark? Oh yeah!

:cool:

To answer the OP's original question, you've got plenty of time (assuming you're on time, of course. :D )

International to Domestic
 

Are 100 minutes arriving from TXL (going through immigrations as a non-us-resident) enough to connect to 1618 to TPA?

You have plenty of time as long as nothing goes wrong, and something goes wrong about 90% of the time. Remember, when you are connecting to FLL, LAX, etc and you misconnect you have backup, lots of it. When connecting to an international destination you have NONE. There is one flight per day and the international flights leave ontime nearly 100%. They rarely wait, unless there is an unusual amount of BF customers to wait for or a VIP. Bottom line, go to the airport for the flight before the one you are scheduled on and stby for it and give yourself more time in EWR, trust me. even if you have a couple hours there EWR has plenty to do and eat and you will have less stress. Join the Presidents Club, or just get a pass for the day, it is worth it.

If you drink alcohol or buy headsets purchase the coupons from the Eticket machines before you go, enough for the rountrip as I don't know if they have the machines in the Asia market. Not only can you use credit cards as opposed to "correct cash" on the plane, you get freebies. It is like happy hour on the plane. I always carry a stash.

Yes

Amen!!!

One more thought on this post. The Asia flights leave earlier in the day and require one to leave in the am. The real big trouble occurs almost daily with the overseas flight to europe and beyond which leave after 1700. One or two hours looks good on paper, but it is risky, very risky. Four hours is not an unreasonable time to give oneself when connecting to a once per day destination thru a congested ATC situation like EWR/JFK/ORD. This is my advice and trust me, it is good advice these days.

I believe EWR is doing some runway work this fall and this will even make matters worse. Someone correct me if I am wrong on this.

HEY! I don't recall the Global Gateway Project being at CLE... :p


[part of EWR is technically is in elizabeth anyway.. I know not that much better]

Thank you. Same for many of us with IAH or Houston Intercontinental.

Connecting Times
 

I mainly work the florida turns that leave Newark around 1:00p.m. and SUPPOSE to get back into newark around 7:30p.m. I can honesly say that we rarely arrived on-time for our international connectors to make their flights. If we do arrive on-time I am as shocked and excited as everyone else that we go there on scheduled. I can feel the stress levels when we are circling over PHL or DCA for an hour, before we are cleared to go in.

Last week I had this PAX pull me aside before he deplaned in Newark and told me he was considering taking another airline, becuase he was tired of being late every week. I apologized and told him it was Air Traffic control not the airline. And if it's happening to CO it must be happening to every airline that is trying to land at this time. I'm sure he was a new Business traveler :) .

But, I suggest you give yourself plenty of time to make your connection.

A to B Terminal Connection
 

Since this thread is about connecting in Newark

I will be making a connection from Chicago to Denver in Newark. In another thread, an OP said that there was a bus between terminals. I thought that you had to go outside security and take the monorail to B terminal and then go through security again. I saw nothing in either CO or the Port Authority web site to suggest the former. Has something changed?
