Newark Security Checkpoints
What's up with the TSA security checkpoints at Newark? Flew into Newark Friday morning and saw that C-2 was only allowing wheelchairs. Departed on Sunday night to the same. C-3 was packed with lines snaking down the escalator to the departures middle level. The outsourced security guard couldn't even tell where the regular line ended because he spent most of the time trying to keep the pre-check lane in order. It took 20 minutes to get through pre-check. Lots of people were running for their flight after security.
Does anyone know the cause? The gate agent said United had sent out an internal email and that TSA was at fault.

If you have global entry I'd say no problem - if not that could be tight and ewr can get really backed up sometimes - but it's still better than IAD!

With GE, on my last pass through it, I managed to get though baggage, immigration, customs, and into my ride in a little under 30mins.
It was a 7:30pm arrival on a Thursday, FWIW.

To report out. we landed late from CDG in B terminal, I made it through Global entry in no time, had a little trouble finding airtrain (escaltors not working mostly too), got to C terminal pretty quickly...had to go up and down stairs to get to TSA pre, which was crowded, got to my C gate in about 45 minutes....

No United Kiosks in EWR Terminal C?
Dear all, this may be the wrong place but I couldn't find this dealt with elsewhere.
In almost all UA mid-large stations there are kiosks for rebooking etc..
With the exception of EWR C. There are a bunch of (often unmanned) customer service desks and even a couple of signs advertising kiosks, but in several recent trips I couldn't find even one kiosk post security.
Everyone I asked from the club to the gate pled ignorance.
I know that the terminal is under renovation, but from what I can remember, I haven't seen kiosk in place for over a year, only holes in the wall.
I would assume this is a proactive decision by UA, but I was wondering in anyone on FT had more info.

Hello, hope somebody can give some advice on a connection from PVG to MCO. We have 2 hours and 20 mins at EWR. Had prepared more than 3 hours when I booked the ticket but the MCO flight got canceled and we were moved to an earlier flight which leaves us 2 hours and 20 mins on the ground. PVG flight will arrive at 6pm on Dec 24. Friends are on Chinese passports and will need to queue the visa lane. Will it give them enough that to clear immigration, customs, drop bags, and take the Airtrain to Terminal C? There is really no room for error as the MCO flight is the last on that night. Worst case if we missed the flight would UA arrange accommodation? I had some horrible experiences at IAH recently so am a little concerned about airports I am less familiar with. Thanks in advance.

8 hours transit in Newark on december 23rd - suggestions
Hello,
On december 23rd I will be flying with my fiancee:
- Montreal YUL -> Newark EWR [Terminal A] (arriving at 10.30am)
- Newark EWR [Terminal C] -> Paris CDG (departing at 6.30pm)
What is the best way to kill these 8 hours?
I plan to work at the airport (I don't really want to bother going in Manhattan), but at this time of year, it might be crazy in the terminals.
- option A : I buy 2 passes (for 50$ total on ebay) to access the United Club on terminal C or A. I don't know which would be the better one. Will they be packed all day long considering it's Christmas time?
- option B : I stay all day long seated in a restaurant in terminal C. Will they kick me out? Can I connect to the internet in the restaurants? Will I be able to find a power plug? Which restaurant to pick?
- option C : a smarter suggestion from experienced travellers?
Many thanks!

Trade for passes on CC. Or find a friend to let you in. But I'd say check out A before going over to C via shuttle.

Last two times I was at EWR the public internet wasn't functional-hopefully you'll get sometime to work. Alternatively I'd suggest not transiting EWR if at all possible
OP doesn't have access to CC.

Some might say it's not worth the money, but if you're willing to spend $50 on club passes, maybe spend a little more and take the $99 day rate at the Marriott on the airport grounds.
Includes wifi and gym access. But of course you would need to leave time to reclear security.

If you are interested in shopping, there is/was a shuttle bus from one of the parking lots (accessible via the AirTrain) to Jersey Gardens outlet mall that I have used a few times on long layovers.
