Do I have to go through security again for connecting flight in EWR?

Navigating EWR Connecting Flights: Security Simplified

Connecting flights at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) between terminals often raise concerns about security. Thankfully, the process is generally straightforward and, crucially, free of additional security checks within the airport.

This means if your connecting flight is within EWR, you won’t need to go through security again unless you’re changing terminals.

To seamlessly transition between terminals, utilize the free AirTrain. It’s the most efficient way to get from your arrival terminal to your departure terminal. Once in your departure terminal, you’ll need to re-clear TSA security for your next flight.

Key takeaway: While you avoid extra security between terminals, you will need to go through security screening again in your departure terminal.

For optimal planning: Always check real-time wait times for the AirTrain and TSA security lines. This will help you better manage your travel time and avoid potential delays. This is especially important during peak travel periods. Look for the latest information on the official EWR website or app.
