Those locations are still correct. Also, the Airtrain is currently out of service but I believe it's supposed to be back up and running in the next couple of days.

The thread linked-to above has some good detail. Two key words re: the dining experience at terminal C since it was 'enhanced': medicre, overpriced.

My nephew is flying LAX to EDI, and I'm trying to help find the easiest route for him.

If he flies UA LAX-EWR-EDI, will he need to change terminals in EWR? Will he need to re-clear security in EWR?

I'm hoping the answer is no to both!

Travel is on September 1st
UA 1691 LAX-EWR
connecting to
UA 36 EWR-EDI

(I used the first flight number on UA's site looking for gate and terminal info for next Tuesday's flight, but it pulled up flights from CUN. So I'm assuming there'll be a switch in flight numbering between now and then.)

No and no. Both flights will arrive/depart from Terminal C, and as long as he stays airside, there is no need to re-clear security.

JBD

Perfect!

Thanks so much for the fast reply. ^

I've spent the day walking around two piers of EWR Terminal C and noticed something a bit off. In he areas where I expect to see kiosks — in nooks and crannies in the terminal and next to customer-service centers — there is just blank space or, in one case under a sign marked "Customer Service Kiosk Here", an ATM.

What happened to the kiosks? Are you expected to interact with a gate agent, customer service rep, or lounge attendant if you need a new printed paper boarding pass? Should you use one of the ubiquitous OTG iPads (or your own mobile device) to pull up the United mobile app and make trip changes automatically?

Or is there a kiosk cluster airside somewhere in the terminal that I haven't found yet?

I have a RDU-EWR-CDG flight happening in a few weeks. The flight number doesn't show up yet, I guess it will be active in September. Anyway, I haven't checked all flights but it looks like the majority of flights RDU-EWR are going into Terminal C now and not Terminal A. Does anyone know if this is a recent change? I remember going through Terminal A on previous flights on United.

ERJ-145s go into terminal A. However, this route has been seeing DH4s, E75s and even the occasional 737 or 319 on it so yes, those planes go into C.

Hi

If I have a flight at 6:00 AM, can I check-in with United (no check-in bags) and go through security around 6:00 PM the day before at EWR ?

My mother has an international flight out of EWR at 10:00 pm. I would like to see her off at the departure gate, and then go to Denver. The only options for EWR-DEN after 10:00 pm start the next morning. So, I was thinking that I'll book an early morning flight, check-in and go through security in the evening before, say my good byes, and then sleep in terminal C till my flight. Is that possible ?

I have looked into websites like sleepinginariports, and, to me, it seems clear that people can sleep at the airport if EWR is a layover. However, I am not sure about the security check, as I am starting at EWR.

I've done this before, in Sep 2013, flying from EWR to YYZ. My flight was at 6 am, so I took the njtransit train to the airport at around 11 pm or so, on a sunday night, for a monday morning flight. Went in, and pretty sure I went through security too, as I hung out near the duty free shop. Now, this was (technically) an international flight, but I wouldn't think it would make a difference. There were some tables I was able to stretch out and and get a little shut eye.

Some others were doing the same, but not many really, I don't think you would have a problem though.

Good Luck!

I wouldn't call EWR the most pleasant place to sleep though. Before/outside security, the terminal area is rather spartan and I forget if there are even benches you could sleep on. It is not carpeted/quiet/pleasant.

You may want to look into the many cheap hotels ($50-70) around EWR that have shuttle service. Save yourself a sore back and grogginess of 8 hours.

Is it possible/advisable to go through security check once in the evening, then come out of airport, and then again go for security check early morning ? I want to see my mother off when her flight departs in the evening at the gate past-security.

WineCountryUA

yes, you can leave and then re-enter.

planning a trip from LIM-HNL and with that length of a trip want to book in lie flat. The best option is LIM-EWR-HNL. The connection time is 1 hour 40 mins. I will be traveling with a non USA citizen.

Couple questions

1. Its likely I will book the standard award rate for this flight as saver first is rare from LIM-EWR. If we miss the connection, can we ask to get on a PS flight to connect through SFO on the flight in the 767 to HNL? Or are we at the mercy of the gate agent? Are seats in first open much on PS flights last second? This is happening on a Sunday. There are three other flights from EWR-SFO with lie flat seats that day before the SFO-HNL connection at 4PM

2. I am a US citizen. Will my partner be able to join the US citizen line with me?

I am trying to decide whether to book the LIM-EWR-HNL and risk it as this is ideal, or just confirm a seat on LIM-EWR-SFO-HNL

To be totally honest that connection is really risky - and no your companion can't go with you to the US Immigration line - and the non-US lines can get backed up on weekends - then you have to get your bags, recheck, possibly change terminals, and then clear security again. If you miss they will try and get you there as quickly as possible - but no guarantee of PS or lie-flat....
