Connecting through Newark - 09/06/2019 03:26 PM
AA has canceled our friend's return flight in December, and left her with an overnight in Charlotte. She's found a flight on United, connecting through Newark, which gets her home the same day. The connection time is 1 hour and 40 minutes. Is that enough time to clear immigration and get to her next flight? None of us has ever flown through Newark. Thanks for any help!!

Could be close depending on how far back on the plane they are deplaning and if they have Global Entry or not. Also if they have checked or carry on only.

There's another return flight with almost three hours, so that would work for her. Is an hour enough on the way down, with carry-on baggage only?

Yes, best to book the three hour connection..

Correct, and if things are running early there is always a chance of getting on the earlier flight. This would be especially true if traveling with just carry on luggage as was stated.
