The shuttle is running as United has resumed operations from Concourse A2; however, it only runs when United has a flight out of/in to Terminal A.
I don't know if you could ask the driver to stop at Terminal B though like pre-COVID times.

Just stopped by the gate 71 and asked about the shuttle to terminal B. "You need to take the Airtrain" is the answer.

At UA lounge in terminal C now ("food" choices are a joke). Will check LH later, but at check in they told me there is no food.
At least lines through security at C were short - less than 10 min regular security, and walked right through TSA Pre.

First time at EWR in 3-4 years and it only gets worse.

For the LH Lounge see my report a few posts above; was there 10 days ago.

Yep, saw it and was fully prepared. Here now. At least they have Oreos
Security line at terminal B was quite short, in spite of having several flights leaving around the same time.

True and that’s saying a lot!

I always try to avoid the LH flights from EWR and choose the JFK ones, but it doesn’t always work.

In the good old days, with 3 daily flights to FRA, at least there were options, except that the best aircraft for F (A380) was at the worst time (around 4pm, so the day in NY was more or less shot, no sleep on the flight, and getting to FRA at the ungodly hour of around 5am). Still, I miss that…

I don't think there is an update.
Also the main difference between EWR and JFK is that EWR is a *A monopoly while there is competition at JFK.

The Lufthansa Group carriers, United, SAS, TAP and LOT are the only full service carriers that fly from EWR to Mainland Europe at this time. There is an Emirates flight to Athens and La Compagnie flight to ORY but that wouldn't make any difference in this case.

09/09 Sept Update - We have improvements!
4:30pm (lounge is a zoo)
  • Coffee Machines are operational
  • Both Coke Machines operational
  • Both sides of the lounge still open to all
  • Cucumber / Mint Water from tap, plus bottled still & sparkling (unlabeled) water
  • Much better food options (I had the salad with red wine vinaigrette which was fresh and good)


Salads, Carrot Dip Platters, Chilled Pesto Pasta, Black Forest Ham & Cheese Sandwiches, Wraps, Fruit Cups, and Cherry Cheesecake

Jalapeno Potato Crisps

Sparkling & Still Water

Closer Look at fruit cup, cheesecake.

Vs ORD?

ORD has hot food during meal hours. Hot dogs, burritos. I assume EWR has the same.

Lufthansa does not have a lounge in ORD.
The review above is for the Lufthansa Lounge in EWR.

Assuming your ORD review is for the United Club.

Thanks for cheering me up with this, will be going there Friday evening. Unfortunately, the flight is at midnight (ATH) so I'll probably need to wait at the gate once the lounge closes at 9:30...
