Northern Aurora Posted March 26, 2022 #26 Share Posted March 26, 2022 I am one who absolutely hates the Newark airport. The design is terrible with "choke-points" in some hallways. The travel planets would have to be in perfect alignment for our OP to make that connection. I wish him luck in his dealings with United. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare terrydtx Posted March 26, 2022 Author #27 Share Posted March 26, 2022 I want to thank everyone for your responses, the majority of you have said no way, so I am going to call United tomorrow and have them put us on the earlier 7:45 am flight from San Antonio to Houston to Newark. We will have 1 1/2 hours in Houston and 2 1/2 hours layover in Newark. I feel much better about this itinerary. This is about the same departure times and layover times as switching to Dulles to Rome. The Newark flight is in a 777 and we much prefer their BC configuration over the 767-300 from Dulles. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck. I am just finishing up my call with United. Luckily I got through immediately. We’re now flying in the day before from LAX. It’s the cost of a hotel room added on but at least we will be able to catch our flight. After now dealing with six separate changes, I hope that this is it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Untied just changed our connections in Newark for the flight to Rome. We now have 40 minutes to get off our flight from SAT to catch the Rome flight. We are flying first class to Newark then Business to Rome so we will be the first off, the flight from SAT. What is anyone's experience flying through Newark? On the map it looks like all United flights are in one terminal and close together. You'll be fine as long as your flight to Newark is on time. The gates for United are all clustered together. Newark is well designed airport (better than JFK or LaGuardia) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UA all in concourse C, all intl clustered down in the low numbers along with the 'clubs' if there's a layover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true, but quite predictable. UA's short regional flights (I think its called "United Express") operate out of Terminal A. The ones out of Terminal B are international code shares on other Star Alliance aircraft. The rest, which is the vast majority of UA flights, is out of Terminal C. 40 minutes for a domestic-domestic transfer within Terminal C is probably doable. However, a 40-minute domestic-international connection would make me very uncomfortable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CK57 Posted March 28, 2022 #33 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Consider Chicago to Rome Our flights from Rome to Newark to Houston were replaced with Rome Chicago Houston and were same overall travel time These are Sept flights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
