Never ever flown intl out of EWR and never transitted through on an intl return. First time for everything.
In September going EWR-FRA-FMO/IST-EWR-LAX. On the return I am GE, and I have a 2.5H layover with no checked luggage. Based on what I'm reading I should be good.
All signs point to no problem, right?

EWR: Airside shuttle A-B-C departure frequency and last bus?
Will be flying into EWR Terminal A and need to get to B for a connecting SAS flight, EWR-CPH. I understand that there may be an airside United bus which goes from A to B ( upon request ) then to C. How frequent is this bus shuttle? And, does anyone know when the last shuttle to B would depart? My SAS flight departs at 11:30 PM, and I am to arrive EWR at about 9:45 PM. Thanks.

Term A to Term C EWR Shuttle question
Checking for my son who is flying US Airways prop (United codeshare) from PHL to EWR arriving Terminal A3 and transferring to Term C United flight to RDU. Is his only choice to take the AirTrain and go through security again at Terminal C? The A/C shuttle runs from A28 (Terminal A2) and I recall there's separate security for A1, A2, and A3 gate areas. ..that to go from A39 to A28 would require going through security again, no?... So he might as well do it with the AirTrain that arrives every 3 minutes... Do I have this right?

There is a shuttle that connects A3 to A2. He can take that one and connect to the shuttle that goes to C. it's a pain, but better than airtrain and security again...

Int'l UA to domestic UA transfer time?
Looking at an early Sept connection UA 993 from ZRH arriving 1:25 PM to a 4:14 UA flight to BOS. Friday evening. I'm Gold on UA, but flying Y. No GE or such. Carry-on only.
Is this a reasonable amount of time to clear immi, customs, and maybe move between terminals? There are a few later flights to BOS of course but EWR is not my favorite airport to while away the hours.
Thanks!

Anyone know ir there is somewhere I can cut my hair at terminal C during a layover? My fiancée scheduled a photo session right before I return home and EWR is the only place I could possible manage to get a haircut.

I'm assuming 35 min mainline ExUA flight number to mainline ExCo flight number to mainline is under MCT, meaning i shouldn't take my chances?
BOS-EWR UA 420 connecting to EWR-IAH UA 1421 on a Saturday afternoon. There is another flight about an hour later that will get me to IAH with more than enough time to get to PHX. Although i don't want to risk losing an upgrade

the EWR MCT DD is 30 mins. However, 30 or 35 minutes at EWR can be iffy based on weather, gates and the need to be at the departure gate at T-20.

EWR connection anxiety
Should we switch to an earlier flight to EWR? Our layover is 4 hr 50 min currently. The flight we will be on are frequently delayed (from 5 mins to 2 hours) and I figured 4 hr 50 mins should be enough.
However, today the 7pm flight was cancelled and triggered my anxiety. I am traveling with a young child. Would it be silly to switch to the 9:30am flight? If we switch, our layover will be almost 9 hours
We are connecting to Europe so that will be a very long day.
I hope the weather will be good on Sunday.

EWR can be bad, but not THAT bad. I usually schedule 1h30 if I can and I think 2h30 are plenty! 4h50 is a VERY long domestic connection for EWR and I would not worry at all.
