MCT for EWR (2012)



https://www.newarkairport.com/at-airport/connecting-flights



United Airlines operates an "air side" shuttle bus between Terminals A and C from 4:00AM to 12:00AM (midnight). In addition, United also operates a shuttle bus connecting Terminals A and C to terminal B (pier 3, used by Star Alliance carriers) from 1:00PM to 11:00PM, but not in the opposite direction (shuttle does not board at Terminal B). The shuttle bus is available at gate A28 and C70 as illustrated in the image above. The shuttle drops off passengers at the terminal B through the service entry, that requires walking up 2 flights of stairs - there is no elevator. Only the front bus doors will open for alighting at terminal B.This service is free and you will not have to go through TSA security again. Please note this shuttle is operated at the sole responsibility of United Airlines and is subject to modification at their discretion.

More information would probably be helpful, including time of arrival and whether or not you have GE. Your destination might also be helpful. I would not want to subject myself to 7 hours in EWR if I could avoid it. I've made hand luggage only connections under 90 minutes from international arrival in B to domestic departure in C, but I have GE, and was on the train within 20 minutes of getting off the plane.

In addition to LondonElite's post, it's helpful to know date of travel. Right now, all international arrivals are at Terminal B which adds a little bit of time versus just arriving Terminal C (assuming your connection is from C) but that will change when traffic returns. Check this website for immigration time statistics. You'll see that average wait times at EWR B are under 10 minutes, even for non-US citizens.

Next September, hopefully post-vaccine; we have GE, but will also have checked luggage. I realize we can wait to book and see if the schedule becomes more favorable, but don't want to wait too long in case business fares jump beyond our voucher.

Im not sure I’d want to make any predictions about travel almost a year from now. With luggage, however, this is a bit more problematic.

There have been times when it has taken up to 45 minutes to get my bags at EWR B international arrivals. That obviously makes a 1:15 connection very hard...

Indeed. With checked luggage there's no way I would aim for 1:15. But seven hours? Is there no closer alternate airport?

Expect several schedule changes between now and then.

If I were forced to choose, I'd go with the 1:15 connection, figuring there's a good chance that one of those changes would open up options to rebook onto other flights with more comfortable connection times.

'tho between now and then, I would expect _several_ changes.

Indeed. And unless it is heavily oversold, the seven hour connection flight remains the backup plan.

Current MCT at EWR

I did a search but could not find the info. Searched both the UA website and FT. Apologies if I did not find.

Just got a schedule change for a connection at EWR.

29 minutes.

Arriving from YUL (pre-cleared so basically a domestic arrival) and connecting to RSW.

Anybody know what the legal MCT is is at EWR for a domestic connection?

Flights from YUL usually park at Terminal A; while flights to RSW usually departs from Terminal C, so a terminal is likely required. There is an airside shuttle bus running between these two terminals.

Thanks. I fly the route often and know the lay of the land.

My question is more: If 29 minutes in under the MCT, I can contact UA and modify the reservation without incurring any fees. If not, need to have a plan B for a missed connection because of a delay departing out of YUL. In January... which is quite likely.

I'm sur there,s a later flight and I'll be protected. Just want to know if I can seek other options.

My question is more: If 29 minutes in under the MCT, I can contact UA and modify the reservation without incurring any fees. If not, need to have a plan B for a missed connection because of a delay departing out of YUL. In January... which is quite likely.

I'm sur there,s a later flight and I'll be protected. Just want to know if I can seek other options.
60 minutes I believe is the D-D MCT.

I'm almost certain is bellow 45 minutes.

Anyone have a link to a UA website declaration?

Either way, 29 minutes is below. Also, UA is waiving change fees at current juncture. Also also, this is an involuntary schedule change.
