Connecting Time Concern-EWR
I'm concerned about the amount of time I have to connect from an inbound international flight to the flight to my home airport. I'm scheduled on CO 79, arriving EWR at 1:40pm, and then flight 2442 departing at 3:05pm. Is that enough time to get thru customs/immigration and get to my gate? I'm flying BF, so would a Concierge be of any help here? Thanks.

Hi,
I would not worry about it. As you are on CO you will go thru Customs/Imm at Term. C instead of the Intl Arrivals Customs/Imm at Term B. Your C & I people will only be dealing with CO Intl. Arrivals. I came through twice in the last month and as I just had carry on I was through, literally, in 15 minutes. I was one of the first ones off the plane, so that helps, too but even if you had luggage, judging on my two experiences, it should not be a problem. Also, if you booked all in with CO it is a legal connection. They would have booked you on a later flight if it were not a legal connection. Bottom line...don't worry about it.
Cheers.

Thats plently of time, if there was any connection time concern - the BusinessFirst Concierge would find you first.
