I often fly 6am EWR-SFO and Pre is always extremely rapid. Max 10 min wait even with a long line.
At ~7:30-8pm yesterday, the line was really bad (up to the sign saying "Pre") but I got through in 10-12 min.
EWR has gone from terrible to pretty good flow-wise for me in the last 9 months or so, at least as a Pre pax.

I got to EWR yesterday around 8AM, the line was past the global services check-in and then wrapped back around another 100ft. However, it moved pretty quickly took about 15 minutes.

If EWR Terminal C ever got CLEAR I'd gladly join. Even though the lines move they are awfully long. I mostly fly to LA where United's terminal recently added CLEAR so it would pay for me.

I love when they do this, the logistics are awesome, it allows the people going to/from the airtrain and to/from the lower level to walk through the snaking PreCheck lane.

No more pre-check at EWR Terminal C?
I just went to the TSA website today to check the PRE hours at Terminal C in Newark today. They only show PRE available at Terminal A and B. But not C! Is this an error?
On the other hand, pre-check at Terminal C seems available any other days of the week, just not on Fridays.
If anyone has any direct experience with this, I would appreciate hearing it.
Thanks!

Also, if pre-check is really closed at C today, can I go through security at A or B and ride the air-side bus? I was planning to use one of the lounges at A or B anyways.
Thanks again!
Thanks again!

I have an update on this. The pre-check lane at Terminal C was actually open. The TSA website was simply incorrect, so please use that information with caution...

Super short Premier security line at EWR today
I have never seen such a short and efficient line as what I just went thru at Terminal C premier. I am still not sure it’s wasn’t a dream.
