I am flying UA in J from EWR-FRA in 2.5 weeks. Any point in heading over to the LH line? Checking a bag so would have to go to GS checkin at EWR anyway. How long does it take to get from B to C by AirTrain? And the return trip. Consensus seems to be about 15-20 minutes. Is it worth it?

If you have a >3-hour layover I'd say so, as I mentioned a few posts back. The significant downside is that if there's a full flight departing from Terminal B and you're stuck behind them, as I was, the wait for security can be daunting. I think my experience was far outside the norm, but you can be sure I'll use the FlightBoard app to gauge when flights are departing next time I try it.

I feel like we had this discussion in mid-December.

I beleive the lounge opens at 1:30pm but the C>B bus does not stop there until 2:30pm. If you need to clear security at B-3 try go through after the El Al flight has boarded. There is a slow time for that concourse between El Al's flight and the Europe flights around 4:00pm.

I'm *A and use my e boarding pass whenever using the Lounge in FRA, I would assume it would work in the US as well? (I also carry my UA *A card along with my UC card just in case--but have yet to have to produce it.)

LH lounge agents are notorious for asking for the physical *G card but in my experience, the EWR LH lounge does not ask for the card, just your boarding pass.
