    Terminal A is clean and new. Staff seemed friendly and TSA line went quickly. Bathrooms are large and also clean. Food was a bit pricey, but had choices for many. Zaro's is a quick to stop place with bagels, coffee, sandwiches & drinks.

    I have seen many airports and terminals. This one is one of the better ones, in fact it is pretty good. New modern, well-lit, nice stores and amenities. I always like coming here. If they would institute priority security - this would make it a 5-star review....hint hint

    Grateful for another stress free and efficient processing today at Newark Terminal A! Airport clean. Plenty of clean restrooms! Love the art installations and all the highlights of the beautiful and unique Jersey people and locations!! Let the adventure begin!!

    New Jersey's major airport is often considered the third-largest public airport in the tri-state area, after JFK and LGA. We came in the evening, and leaving was smooth. However, when we leave it, it's super difficult! Terminal A isn't available for drop off, due to construction. We have to take the airtrain from Terminal B, then walk 12 minutes or take the 4-minute bus. The system costs $3.5 billion to build?! The security control is a joke. The TSA Pre-Check and Clear are not obvious. And it's the first time my little ball pen has been questioned. Seriously? Seriously! Charging outlets don't work at the gate. The bathroom has a line. UA lounge is full and closed to One-Time pass holders, which is what I've "read the fine print" and what the staff said rudely. Hmmmm... any time when someone reminds you to read the fine print, it's usually a good sign that you never have to deal with them again. ... a.k.a. "I hid the trap in plain sight, and now I'm going to use it to get out of holdin up my end of the deal." Less of a fair contract and more like A legal ambush. This is my first time using ewr, and it will be the last. Thank you.

    Located 15 miles southwest of Midtown Manhattan, Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) is one of the primary airports serving the New York City region and a major international hub. It provides access to thirty major airlines. Each year, over 42 million passengers fly out from here. Last week, my partner and I left out of Terminal A, which was a brand-new, state-of-the-art terminal with 29 gates designated for domestic and regional flights via JetBlue. This was a repeat performance after 3 years for me but a first time for my partner. Once one clears security, you'll be on the upper level of the central plaza area, with expansive views of the departure hall. From the soaring ceilings to the plethora of natural light to the eye-catching artwork, the new terminal is simply stunning. Despite airports across the country facing long TSA checkpoints amid the partial government shutdown with spring break increasing travel across the country, we arrived very early, and it was manageable. Check the bottom of the Newark Airport's homepage; there is a section titled "Security & Customs Wait Times," which lists estimated wait times for general and TSA pre-check-in lines.

    Terminal A is very clean and organized. We went thru TSA/Clear+ under 5 mins. Many restaurants and stores along the walk to your gates. Plenty of seats for travelers. They also have a kids play zone which is a huge plus for family with small kids.

    Very impressed with this airport! I heard terminal A was a newly renovated terminal, and they did a great job. Everything felt modern, clean, and very easy to move around. One thing I really appreciated was having the luggage weight scales available before going to the check-in counter, it made it so convenient to adjust and distribute the weight between bags ahead of time. Small details like that make traveling much easier. I also liked that there's a Starbucks inside that sells brownies, and they even had a trophy on display, which was a nice little surprise while walking around. Overall, a great airport experience!

    I actually came to Terminal A by accident because I was flying United and I didn't realize that I was supposed to go to Terminal C instead. Personally, I enjoyed going this way because the lines happened to be faster and the amenities were even better here. On top of that, the staff here told me that they had a shuttle after going through security that would take me to Terminal C. I'm only giving it four stars because the people at the TSA were really rude! This place is really modern and Crystal Clean all around. They had a meditation room which I thought was pretty cool. Restaurants were top notch, the restaurants and convenience stores were very nice too! Getting to the transfer station was very easy too after going through security. I don't know when I will actually fly out of Terminal A but I would happily come back here if I could.

    Airport is too big for an older person but they have great elderly Service with very nice people to take you from you flight to your connecting flight or to baggage claim. The rail system is not great. Very bumpy and rough ride but what would you expect. The terminal is very nice. Open and spaciousand very clean. The prices are astronomical. One sweat shirt for the FIFA playoffs is $90.00 bucks. Yikes

    Terminal A is located in the Newark airport. It has quite a few nice shopping opportunities and restaurants. There is a shuttle and/or AirBus that will take you there. Or if your planes leaves from this Terminal, you can enjoy the shops.

    Lots of walking space
    Mel Y.

    Terminal A was much nicer than expected: security was pretty organized, varied options for good and drink, lots of space to walk around, plus plenty of places to sit, people watch, or charge your devices. The decor was also updated and pleasing to the senses, especially in comparison to some other airports. Only complaint is the rising cost of getting an uber/lyft but this isn't relegated to airport travel.

    So clean and bright! I had a longish layover so I was able to walk around and experience all the new details they have added. They did a great job. Everything is immaculate and signs make it easy to navigate. They don't get a 5 because the limited food/shop options n no lounges which I hope more are coming.

    No real lounges for sapphire reserve cardholders. Smaller city airports offer more and better amenities.

    I was making a connection and did not need to go through security in Newark. We arrived at C-130…read moreand our departure gate was C-102, a 3-4 minute walk. The C concourse was bustling but the restrooms were very clean and well maintained. The airlines were moving a lot of passengers through this terminal.

    United Airlines Airlines has paperwork to fill out for service dogs. I did this nearly a month…read morebefore we were to fly. I thought everything was good but when we were coming back from New York on an Honor Flight for veterans who were all also first responders for the anniversary of 9/11, having my service dog was like having a plague. we tried to ask at the check-in desk about a ticket of where I could sit with my service dog who does not fit under the seat seats. They stated that I needed to ask somebody at the gate once they came. We were at the gate for nearly 2 1/2 hours. One of the attendance showed up 30 minutes before the flight and I asked him about where I should sit with my dog as I have been informed that the previous flight they had put me in the wrong seating. I was told that the dog had to be able to go under the seats or sit in my lap. My dog is a 67 pound Doberman. When the gate attendant finally got to us 20 minutes before the flight I was told I was stuck with my seat and that I should have asked the check-in desk to move me if it was not adequate. This was also told to the director of our group who had given them the paperwork a month prior as well as the paperwork I filled out for the airlines. When I boarded the plane it was unable to get him in my lap as I was nervous which made my dog nervous as well. The flight attendant was unhappy with me and I ended up in the back of the plane crying and he didn't say a word about this. I believe I was being ready to be left behind from my group as there was no open seats in which my dog could sit and they were not allow him to sit in the aisle. Because we had been sitting at the terminal for so long, many of the other people on the plane knew why our group was there. Three people up in first class offered to give up their seats for me. This was not unit asking but people actually volunteering. Definitely will never fly United again if I have a choice. It seems that there's no actual, "here's what we do" on United Airlines flights. I was told on the first flight that I was in the wrong seating and should've been moved accordingly with my dog. The next flight I was told that that was untrue.

    Much more convenient and cheaper than flying in to NYC…read more You can take the tram over to the Amtrak station and take the train into New York city, like 25-30 minutes and like $15. The terminal is ok, nothing fancy. The annoying part of Newark Liberty is trying to get over to the rental car center while everything is under construction. Hopefully someday the construction will be done, and you can get straight to the rental car center, without having to take a sky tram, get dropped off, walk outside in 102 heat, then go inside down a narrow corridor that 2 people can't fit in, then follow the yellow brick road to escalators that don't work, to then try and find stairs or an elevator, to get to another level and then you finally arrive at the rental car center. Apart from the hassle to get to the rental car center, the airport itself was pretty convenient and easy, and you also get a view of NYC from the window. Enjoy the photos.

    Terminal B at Newark Liberty International airport, specifically Gates B40 thru B49 has got to be…read moreconsistently one of the worst experiences for travelers There are limited food options - all overpriced - Firehouse Subs, Starbucks, Tony's Pizza, and Malones Fish Market to choose from - be prepared to spend way too much for subpar food There typically is no air conditioning -- they rely on fans during hot & humid summer days The TSA staff is generally rude from my experience flying thru Newark specifically Terminal B This behavior is unnecessary and unprofessional - though I suppose considering these folks live in Newark New Jersey that helps explain things There are not good options for charging electronic devices and from my experience flights have been delayed and / or cancelled more frequently than any other airport I've experienced Perhaps this can all be chalked up to bad luck for me personally but I will plan on flying United in the future and avoid Alaska airlines out of Newark at all costs just to avoid ever sitting at these gates in B terminal in the future
