I’m genuinely surprised by these comments cause I fly 2 times per year on average (United) and I think Newark is very efficient. I’ve never had a holdup but of course you will need to budget extra time for holidays

I fly a few times a year and the last time I flew, I went to JFK to avoid terminal A at Newark. It’s the worst designed terminal of any airport I have ever been in. Terminal B is sightly better, but not far behind. Until the new terminal A opens next month, C is the ONLY terminal at EWR that actually feels like a modern airport terminal.

I only fly United so my experience is almost exclusively with Terminal C

United is the way to go. 6 more flights to 1K.

Fly any other airline out of Newark, and you’ll see why it ranks as the worst airport in the country (B and A) as well as the best foodie airport in the world (C).

Terminal 1, and they’re demolishing A and B once terminal 1 is up and running.

They changed the name of the new terminal to "New Terminal A" about a year ago. Terminal 1 is no longer a thing.

Also, B is not being demolished, only the old terminal A is. Once that is done, the Port Authority wants to replace the current Terminal B on the foot print of what is now Terminal A. If they do that, they should rename the airport to Elizabeth Liberty Intl since the new A and the new B would be be fully in Elizabeth. Right now Terminal C is the only terminal located fully within Newark.

If and after they do replace B, there was a question about re-doing C on B's footprint, or building a 4th terminal on B's current footprint. PA isn't sure yet.

Eh, when I worked there right before Covid, they planned on demolishing both. Thanks for the update!

So it's going to be Terminal 1 and Terminal C?

Same here. I always assume most of the complaints are from very frequent flyers. I go maybe once or twice a year and never have issues.
