Alaska Airlines operates at Terminal A in Newark, and it?s an old small terminal with limited facilities and not that much food selection. It can get very crowded.

Arrived at airport very early and got checked in quickly and had boarding pass for onward flight printed at EWR. Not much of a departure area with limited shops and duty free. Getting on aircraft very efficient.

Terminal A is a crowded, antiquated embarrassment. Security is shoehorned into a corridor and the air conditioning was from portable units on the tarmac with giant ducts.

The departures area was pretty nice but the second that you got onto the escalator and went to the baggage claim it was not clean and you were immediately reminded that you were in New Jersey.

Absolute shit. Security lines to the gate were absurd, and I was trying to connect. Almost missed my flight. Did not have time to stop at a customer service desk to ask about an item I had lost on a previous flight. It's still lost.

EWR has taken a lot of strides in updating their facility, however, their food choice and services within the terminal is very subpar. They are in the right direction though, and it's better than LaGuardia.

Terminal areas are pleasant and easy to get around. However, immigration lines were long (1hr+ wait) and the AirTrain had problems so there was a long wait for a train and the trains were packed. This is my first visit in a long time so perhaps this was just bad luck.

Newark Liberty International airport is a very convient airport to Newark and New York. Though sadly, it's older design leads to overcrowding and limited TSA Pre Check access. Terminal A has very minimal food options past security. EWR manages wether delays much better than JFK or LGA.

Not as bad as many people say. My main beef was that there isn't a dedicated TSA precheck line in Terminal B - at least not when I flew. They hand you a piece of paper sayiing Expedited on it. I put the paper in my x-ray bin, so the screeners didn't see it and I got the regular screening. Fortunately the line was short so it wasn't a big deal. Keep that piece of paper handy if you get it!

Getting to EWR from NY Penn Station was awful and painful.
First you gotta catch a NJ Transit train to EWR Station, and this part was ok.

However, the second part, which is taking the AirTrain, is totally a nightmare. According to google map, it suppose to has a train come to the station every 3 mins... Which was not the case AT ALL! We waited 30 minutes for the train, and it only operate from NJ Transit station to the car rental lot! The worst part is, such a short distance took another 30 minutes to ran!

Terrible

Not the best airport in the but its okay. Not the most modern however it runs fairly good with not unpleasant staff and good facilities. Getting to the airport really requires a taxi however as the air train and multiple trains just to get to PATH, and then to the World Trade Center is just a hassle...

The new United Polaris lounge is a great way to relax before your flight. Good food, great seating, and a nice, calm atmosphere. The rest of terminal C has also improved with better food and retail options vs its recent past. Avoid anything flying out of A or B though.

Newark gets INSANE customer service lines, especially United. Flights are delayed a lot. The airport itself is actually pretty nice, had to spend the night there and it wasn't uncomfortable or anything, but customer service for a missed flight took 2 hours and all they gave us (3 people) for the overnight stay was $30 in food vouchers

Where do I start? One of the worst airport experiences I have ever had. When arriving, the jetbridge was broken, so we sat on the plane for 30 minutes at the gate. Signage inside the airport is generally quite poor. They had porta-potties inside the concourse, and signage indicating that we should be happy with the additions! When departing, the security line took 70 minutes! Apparently their x-rays were broken. Staff just seemed exhausted and had no answers.

Unfortunately the flight CA820 is the first one leaving from this sector of terminal B (even if leaving at 12:40) - as a consequence arriving at 9:00 I had to wait half hour for the opening of passport control and safety check, 50% of the shops were closed, the business lounge was only partially functioning... unbelivable for one of the airports of NYC!

Terrible experience deplaning, getting through immigration and catching my connecting flight. Long lines for every process including EXITING!!! Immigration officers were loud,rude and unhelpful. They kept badgering me about using my phone even though all i did was listen to music. It took over 3hrs to arrive at the departure gate for my connecting flight.
Disgusted.
Worst ever....
I will never fly through Newark again.

Aeroport spacieux, facile d'acces en voiture. Les comptoirs d'enregistrement British Airways sont tres bien situes, a proximite de l'entree et du passage de la securite.
Beaucoup de monde a la securite et agents peu sympathiques, n'hesitant pas a crier les consignes sur les passagers.
Zone reglementee agreable, type americaine mais petite.
De plus, peu de magasins duty-free. Mais belle vue sur le tarmac et sur les appareils.

While check-in was no issue at Newark, security was an absolute nightmare. Luckily, I planned to arrive at the airport 3 hours ahead of my flight. Once you are at your concourse and through security, options for dining and shopping are very limited, so make sure to plan ahead!

Getting to Newark Airport isn't particularly difficult, though rental car companies are spread out. Check in experiences vary wildly depending on where you are. The United Economy class checkin at Terminal C was wildly busy and a bit confusing. United First class checkin at Terminal C and economy checkin at Terminal A were a bit more controlled. TSA Precheck in Terminal C went quickly later in the day, while it was much longer at 7 am. Security in Terminal A2 for United Express was problematic, as there wasn't a dedicated line. The terminal facilities are nice, though in some parts of the airport, there are very limited stalls. Wifi did not work on the day I was there and needed it. Food and retail services have changed, and it is now difficult to find a quick meal that is inexpensive.

Not a fan of this airport. It feels old and sometimes difficult to navigate. Transfer from international to domestic is a small nightmare. Difficult to find bus between terminals, and not very easy to figure out where you're supposed to deliver your checked luggage. Never had a problem with long lines in immigration, but that might just be lucky. Public transport is a bit dingy going into the city (but much cheaper than taxi).

Terminal C isn't that bad compared to the other terminals. But the food is mediocre and very expensive. There should be free wifi. When you are stuck waiting for a plane, it would be great to have better facilities and better food. Like the food facades look better than the food tastes. I had the burger place and honestly it was crap. The lobster place seemed good but I am more a fan of CT style roll than the ones they offered, even at the price they had I would had bought it. But its my local airport and I think I may try JFK instead next time.
