I've read all the facts and statements on this subject- but I have a question that kinda is sililar to this topic- IAD vs EWR IA to D w/ checked bag - plus this will be my 1st time visit to either Polaris IAD and Polaris EWR for me.
Aug 2024 Arriving Mad to Ewr connecting to Den final destination- Business class/1st class- United . However, due to schedule change, I am allowed to opt for Mad to IAD to Den UA Polaris/ 1st class IAD- Den . Connection time in EWR with schedule change is 5 hours and if I opt for IAD, connection time will be 3 hrs.
I will have a checked bag but I also have clear, GE and tsa pre if it matters and I just would like suggestions as to do you prefer to connect and clear customs in EWR with bags or IAD. I have a 5 hour connection in EWR and would shorten it to 3 if I went through IAD. And, is the Poliris lounge in IAD better than the EWR lounge?
Thanks a million in advance and have a great time flying the friendly skies!

Arrived with UA947 (from AMS) somewhere at the start of C-gates, one of the first ones at least. Already at the gate pax were split in connections and local arrivals. The 'infamous' Mobile Lounges were already waiting for us. I have to be honest, once the Mobile Lounge was full, it departed and the ride was just like 5 minutes to the Main Terminal Building.
The Mobile Lounges are pretty packed with up to 100 people, and while waiting at the gate diesel fumes start to pile up in the car.
I was really not looking forward for immigration, but I was extremely lucky, since the AMS-flight was the first international arriving flight and I was literally the first person to pass immigration. Woop woop!
On Easter Sunday I flew back on UA946 with a 18:00hrs departure. The last mile arriving at IAD at 16:00 by Uber was quite busy. I think because of the Easter weekend. The terminal itself was not that crowded. Only carry on, so straigt to the normal TSA checks. Also there: I was in line for maybe one minute. Could believe it. Took the Aerotrain to C-terminal (so much better than the Mobile Lounges) and walked around a bit in C and D-terminal. Then settled down in the Polaris lounge, which was just occupied with about 50 pax. The Polaris lounge is really really amazing!
Unfortunately, we had to deplane after 45 minutes since there was a technical issue with the cargo door. Took some time to fix, but I was lucky to wait in the Polaris lounge again. Then after close to 3 hours we eventually pushed back. All good in the end.
So guys, thanks again for your answers last week, and I am aware that I was lucky with all the queues! DC itself was great. Also love the iconic Main Terminal building. The C and D-gates not so much. Not really a good first impression for the capital airport.

Granted, but it's hard for DCA to make much of an impression on passengers arriving from overseas since the only overseas flight it handles is Bermuda.

Connection experience
I'm thinking of booking SK from CPH, arriving 1525 (3.25p) into B-gates on a Sunday. I'd then depart on a separate ticket on UA to MIA at 1745 (5.45p) likely from D-gates. I'd have hand-luggage only, travel in economy class and no priority for immigration. This would give me 2h 20m to make it (if I miss the flight, I'd rebook for the morning after). If the SAS-flight is on time, is this a doable connection?
- 1535 - flight landed
- 1555 - I started queueing at immigration and used MPC-app lane
- 1600 - I was through immigration
- 1605 - Started queueing for security
- 1620 - Through security and took train to C-terminal
- 1630 - Arrival at gates in C-terminal
