About

Arriving at Newark Liberty International Airport

Newark is United's main East Coast hub and a major transatlantic gateway. Terminal C handles most international flights.

From landing to exit is typically 45-75 minutes for international arrivals. Customs is generally faster than JFK but still significant.

Newark is in New Jersey, not New York City. For Manhattan, NJ Transit or Amtrak from the airport station takes 25-30 minutes to Penn Station. AirTrain connects terminals to the rail station.

United operates extensive service to London Heathrow plus other European destinations. Evening departures from Newark land morning UK time; returns land afternoon US time.

For pickups, cell phone lots and short term parking are available at each terminal.

Pickup tip

Terminal C is United. AirTrain connects terminals to NJ Transit and Amtrak.
