    Get here way early .. Not because it's so fun to be here, but because the lines are always miserable.

    Duty free shop on the gate C120 side (left from security) has a better selection if sunblock than the store by gates C105.

    If you're flying in to EWR try to get an A window seat and you'll have a perfect view of NYC before landing.

    Security was quick and easy. First time flying out of this airport so not sure if it was a fluke or if it's always that way.

    From my experience, this airport is a little easier to fly in and out of compared to LGA and JFK. Getting there is another story.

    No CLEAR in Terminal A. Pre check still moves somewhat fast but be prepared for lines if you are used to skipping them w/Clear.

    There are no duty free in the terminal so if you want to buy booze and cigarettes as gifts better do it before hand.

    Beware of Air Train - in my experience, it's often more hassle than it's worth. Especially if you're trying to catch a flight - give yourself lots of time!

    Try to stay by your gate, specially when your flight has been delayed because they can change the time and gate on you!

    Airtrain is on reduced schedule for maintenance. If you take NJ transit you have to change trains at P4 to get to where you wanna go.

    When choosing your travel outfit, less is more. Avoid wearing clothing, jewelry or other accessories that contain metal when traveling to cut your time barefoot in the security line.

    PROTIP: If you have time and are flying out of Terminal A, go through much faster security at Terminal C, then take the shuttle to A at gate C71.

    I'm pretty sure they spray down the entire airport in cheap cologne rather than cleaning it... I know that trick...
