Newark Help

With so few flights out of Newark, what time is the Check in and Clubhouse likley to open for the 21:15 LHR flight? I don't want to pitch up before the staff.

Cheers

according to this on the VS website it says check-in opens at 17:30. The CH opens at the same time.

Perfect direction. Thank you Tontybear!

If you do get there earlier, the clubhouse will be open (I believe Air India uses it) but the service is limited until the check-in desks open, when it becomes full service.

I'm assuming it will also open for the 07.15 flight or is that not the case?

EWR Clubhouse opens at 430 am - no bar service until after 8 though :#

What?? No champers for brekkie?

I know, that caught me out once after a heavy night in the Soho in Manhattan, a tonic was very much desired!

Likewise...... I was most distressed to have my request for champagne at 6am turned down! Luckily this was provided immediately once onboard the AC!

I think it is to do with state licensing laws... not sure if JFK is the same?

Yes, JFK is the same. No alcohol before 08:00 Mon - Sat or from midday on a Sunday.

I'm sure I can wait til boarding for a mouthful of bubbles

JFK is in NY State, EWR is in "Noo Joisey", so both of those states must have this licensing law.

champagne at 6am :-0 wowsers! lol
and there was me thinking that a G&T at 11s was tricky.
yes but think the state law must be the reason.

Technically state law does not allow the sale or serving of alcohol before 9am any day of the week, but in Newark the onus lies with the local municipality - blame them for the extra 'dry' hour

Similar applies to JFK although I have a feeling that the ones who actually set the rules on this are the NYC and NJ Port Authority

Regardless, gfonk... 11am?? - child's play. You should stop by the V-Flyer A A office located in the LHR CH library near right hand corner to the door

Tsk, gfonk! Do you wish to be banned from V-Flyer? You are certainly going the right way about it! )

Not that long ago there was a competition to see who could get the earliest drink in the CH ):

Airports are time free zones. Well, that's my theory anyway! Most of the time flying short haul for business doesn't allow for a drink Pre flight so it's nice to be able to have one when flying long haul or for hols

Airports are time free zones.

Quite! The sun is over the yardarm somewhere in the world. |:)
