EWR connection and seperate (quick) security lines
As this is my first post can you move it if required.
Travelling Belfast-EWR then EWR-MCO with United, originally I had a 4-hour layover, United have cancelled that flight so the layover is now 1hour 35. Or 6 hours if I ask them to change it to a later flight, my daughter suggested leaving it as they will put us on the later flight anyway.
I was lucky and got a very cheap upgrade to Business First from Belfast then Domestic First from EWR to MCO so I am hoping this helps, it will help with immigration by getting us off the plane first but it's now security which is the question.
Has anyone travelled through Newark terminal C security when travelling United Domestic First from Newark, in my case after a business first inbound flight. I am trying to find out firstly if you can use and secondly the location of the separate and allegedly quicker security lines. If anyone has used them how long did it take to clear security, I spoke to someone who went through the normal lines yesterday at about 2pm and it took close to an hour. I will be travelling throughat about the same time of day and an hour on top of immigration and customs would = missing our connection.
Thanks for any advice

Do you have Global Entry? It's a tight connection but just on the doable side if immigration doesn't take too long. I assume this is on one ticket, so in any case you're protected to be put on the next flight if you miss the first.

Thanks for your replies, yes it is all on one ticket and United changed the flight time and no I don't have Global Entry.
I am not too concerned with immigration it's more about the reported long wait times at security for the domestic leg. This is why I am trying to find out if they have separate security lines when travelling United First and if so where they are in terminal C.
