[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m surprised United would sell this itinerary.  There’s a high chance you won’t make the connection, [b]and your checked bags likely will not[/b].  You should notify the flight attendant and see if they will let you deplane first (sometimes they will ask passengers to stay seated unless they are on connecting flights XYZ).  It’s possible they’ll hold the Aruba flight but it depends on a lot of factors (how many people need more time, how tight a turnaround time they have in Aruba, etc.).[/quote]

Your bags have a better chance of making it then you do.  Cargo holds are opened immediately.  You have to [b]wait 15-20 min to deplane.[/b]

OP unless you're in the front of the plane without kids I doubt you'll make it.  Any slight delay and you're going to miss the connection.  [/quote]

What's with the basic wrong info so constantly?  On a normal narrowbody I have usually been off the plane around 10 minutes from gate arrival, even at the back of the plane.  If near the front of economy it's within 5 minutes.  Pretty big difference between 10 and 15-20 when talking about making a connection.

Now the C to A connection, yes that's the major problem, especially now with the new A terminal being farther away.  But the comment about the train is incorrect, because the train at Newark is before security, so if you take it you will have to exit the secure area and then clear security again at A.  Instead you have to take the post-security bus that United runs. See here:

https://www.united.com/en/us/fly/travel/airport/ewr-map.html

You will have to walk to the bus stop near C71 and the bus will take you to the A terminal near gate A28

Also, you should check the gates/terminals again on the day of departure and when arriving at EWR.  Gates often change during operations, and it's possible they would put the second flight into C.[/quote]

We landed at Pensacola, which is small, and had to wait 10-15 minutes for another plane to leave the gate. All sorts of delays like that happen all the time.[/quote]
