EWR playbook

Data status
This page is currently backed by 5 live EWR checkpoint readings, so the terminal and checkpoint spread matters more than a single airport-wide average.
Airport context
Terminal A is the newest facility and often has the most efficient screening technology, but it can be a long trek from the AirTrain.
Airport context
If you need to change terminals mid-itinerary, factor in the AirTrain wait and a full re-screening at your new terminal—EWR is not fully connected post-security.
Airport context
Terminal C security surges during United's morning and evening 'banks'—if you're flying United, arrive 2.5 hours early during these windows.

Terminals at a glance

Terminal note
Terminal A (Gates A1-A28) serves multiple domestic carriers. Terminal B handles international and some domestic. Terminal C is almost exclusively United.
Terminal note
Each terminal has its own independent security checkpoints; there is no centralized screening for all of Newark.

Airline notes

Airline routing
United Airlines passengers should head directly to Terminal C. JetBlue and American are typically in Terminal A.
Airline routing
Delta and many international carriers (Lufthansa, British Airways) operate out of Terminal B.

Local tips

Local tip
EWR has three main terminals (A, B, C). Terminal C is the United hub and features the most consistent security pressure.
Local tip
Newark publishes airport wait times by terminal and gate group, so always check your specific terminal before heading to the airport.
Local tip
Newark offers 'CLEAR + TSA PreCheck' across all three terminals, with enrollment centers specifically in Terminals A and C.
