I agree UC at A is my preferred of the two.

8 hours in EWR?? No.
Perfect amount of time to take public transport or cab to the 911 Memorial - inside if its crappy, outside if its nice, a Sabbetts on the street, and easily make it back to EWR for 4pm to catch your departure. Walk the streets, breathe in the air, pretend you are a New Yorker for a day - look down, not up... Concierge your luggage at the airport Marriott to travel light |

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! |
I think I should stay in the airport. I thought about getting a room for the day but considering this time of the year (flight will probably be delayed) I think I would waste most of my time waiting (shuttle busses, security check).
I just want a kind of quiet room with a place to seat comfortably and a plug to charge my electronic stuff. I guess I should rather spend the time in a United Club (terminal A vs. C) rather than in a restaurant in terminal C. |
Where is the Concourse A/C shuttle at EWR
So I have a flight connection this week at EWR. I arrive in an E145 most likely in Concourse A and I leave in a B738 in Concourse C and I heard there's a shuttle that'll go from Concourses A and C so I wouldn't have to reenter security. Where exactly am I supposed to find that shuttle in Concourse A? Cause I heard it's kind of hard to find and this will be my first time at EWR.
|
I can't recall the gate number adjacent to the shuttle entrance (maybe near A28?), but it is not at all difficult to locate. A terminal is a very small circle.
You will see signage and there is either an elevator or a set of stairs to reach the ground level bus area. |

I think that it is next to A26. It's very easy to find, and it is likely that the crew on the flight in will know and be able to point you towards the gate.

Consolidated Connection time/logistics-Domestic & International at EWR
I can't remember the gate number either, but if you are facing straight toward security/terminal exit, it is on the right side, by either the closest or second closest gate toward the security hall. Not difficult to find at all.
Just wish they would have the bus stop at the AC concourse in A, next time I'm doing an AC-UA connection so need to re-clear security. And by the way, E45 onto EWR isn't necessarily A concourse. IME, about half my E45 flights into/out of EWR have been in C. |
The bus stop at Terminal A is just to the left of gate A28. You go down a flight of stairs and there's a small waiting room at ground level. There are signs.

EWR Terminal A: What time does TSA open?
So I missed my 6:33 AM flight today because when I got to terminal A at 5:30, the TSA line was wrapped around and around far outside the designated line area (not to mention the blue-shirt agent who kept randomly pulling people to a newly formed second non-Precheck lane but assured me I'd be fine to stay in the current lane). Couldn't help but notice that as I approached the x-ray belt, the line extending outside of the TSA agent area had completely evaporated. And as I await my new 11:59 flight, it's clear that EWR is not at all busy today. Kind of ironic that the earliest flights of the day had the longest possible wait at TSA..
|
Not sure of the answer to your question but EWR Terminal A is a mess. The way they handle pre-check at security is a total sham. Despite getting a "hall pass" for my shoes, I'm more often than not, shunted into a line that is longer. I'm currently flying a lot of United RJ's out of T-A and can't wait to get back to Terminal C
|
I'm no fan of terminal A, but I've never seen anything like this. Usually there are fewer than 10 people in line before the ID check agent (then of course there is the secondary pre-x-ray line like you mentioned). This morning there was over 100. I've no doubt I could have done TSA at C and taken the shuttle bus to A in less time.
