Security is sooo quick at Terminal B, 5 stars quick. Even though it's TINY. Just two conveyors for luggage check. Top tip, if hungry buy food BEFORE security as there are lots of choices and it's good food. Go past security and everything goes up 10-20% in price and it seems one place does hot food a bar, $20 for a burger chocolate etc stupid prices currently. Don't leave those last minute grabs for friends and family at home till you're through security, unless you've cash to burn. Airport itself facilities 5 stars, loses two for stupid prices and lack of choice once through security.
It's one of the worst airports I have ever seen. I was travelling back to Canada through this airport, which was an awful experience. First, there was an extensive lineup for security because there was a small passage through which people lined up. There were only three machines for the security. After completing the security, when I reached the gate area, it was a complete mess. There was no space to sit and not a good restaurant to eat at. The gates are used both for arrival and departure, which was so confusing. I am not going to travel through this airport again.
My review is for Terminal C. A very busy airport, but improvements have been made to make the airport experience more comfortable. There are two large Duty Free stores, but not many smaller shops. Plenty of eateries and bars can be found.
As someone who frequently travels by air from the Northeast, Newark Liberty International Airport has always been my top choice. It serves as a crucial operating hub for United and several other Star Alliance partners, providing extensive flight options. The customs staff at the airport are consistently polite and efficient, ensuring that travelers pass through with ease. Even amid the ongoing pandemic, the airport has remained dedicated to maintaining a safe and clean environment for all passengers. While the concourses are disconnected, requiring an additional security check for connections, Terminal C stands out as a modern and contemporary space with ongoing improvements in progress. Additionally, it's worth noting that the airport is easily accessible via a seamless AirTrain and New Jersey Transit ride to Penn Station in Manhattan, making it an ideal option for travelers seeking convenience and efficiency.
It is a comfortable, modern airport full of tablets and places to charge your electronic devices. There are few food options and most of them are expensive. The staff in some areas were very friendly and in others the complete opposite, super rude. You can see a beautiful view of new york city from the window. To leave the airport there are always a lot of people, many cars and police taking care that people don't take so long without moving, you have to try to leave quickly.
It is one of the best airports in US as well as in the world. Everything is automated and clearly written. Support staff is present to help and guide. It is a neat and clean airport. Passengers and family members who came to drop the passengers are allowed to go till the security point to say final bye before the flight. Security staff are strictly doing the work and don’t allow any irregularities. Lot of duty free shops are present. Lot of continental restaurant are also present. Leading coffee chains also have their shop. Luggage cart was not free it was charged $6 per cart. Everything else was good in the multiple visits I had at EWR. It has lot of accessibility for wheelchairs.
We came through this airport while visiting relatives living in New Jersey. And took Porter Airlines for our onward journey to Ottawa. We liked the airport and had no trouble in both cases - arriving and departing. While coming, we had to wait a bit for our luggage, about 45 minutes, but we didn’t lose our luggage and didn’t mind the wait after hearing about the problems in other airports. Coming back to Canada, Porter was well organized in Terminal B. Dropping of luggage was a breeze. So was going through the security. Not crowded and the agents were friendly and helpful. The airport is old but that didn’t bother us. If you encounter problem with connection and need to stay overnight, there are hotels in the near by communities. Hotels in Edison are about half hour drive from the airport.
A very outdated and cramped airport. Seems like a massive missed opportunity not to have a famous chain like Shake Shack here. I’m in Terminal A, which is where it seems the Canadian flights are. The staff all seemed nice and professional but the security area is super small with a narrow corridor to line up in. There is no Duty Free or other shops. The food options are almost non existent. There’s an Earl Of Sandwiches which has a 2.4 Google rating I didn’t actually have a bad experience here and a coffee shop that has a 1.4 Google rating.
Not my favorite airport! It’s ok, it’s clean and they have bars and restaurants all over, however …very difficult to navigate when it comes to ordering food, I understand that they want everything to go fast and smooth with a computer system but to order and have to always use a credit card or not be able to ask anyone about a particular food or drink….. At the gates there is not much space to sit, at least not enough for all the passengers waiting. The staff at United was nice to me but, I did witness how one of them ignored an older lady that had been waiting for hours, every time she asked a question he would just make her wait and barely gave her any explanation.
Would have given 0 stars if I could. Flying back from Europe only to be greeted to a dumpster fire of an airport. Customs was essentially 4 agents for hundreds of us trying to catch our next flight. All of the automated passport machines weren't being used. Nothing is labeled clearly and we couldn't find how to get to our terminal/gate. Finally had to ask someone how to get to terminal c as we sprint trying to dodge people standing in the aisles. We had to go thru security like everyone else even though we'd done this with our international flight. The security checkpoint was extremely delayed causing us to miss our fight. We ended up having to spend the night in this toilet of an airport. Our original flight arrived after 10pm so everything was basically closed. The bathrooms are gross and lucky if the stalls lock. There's garbage everywhere and the gates look like they're being used for storage. Avoid this airport if you can.
