Charge all of your devices before boarding as there will won’t be any places to charge while on the aircraft.

As I said the terminal for Alaska at JFK is horrendous -- new but very , very large with long distances to get to the gates and not enough automatic walking ways for a terminal of this size -- and 3 escalators?? Really! If you can get a direct flight from another airline I would definitely change but they may be the only one around.

Newark terminal B is probably the worst in the country. Allow yourself plenty of time a patience

We were early arriving so had to sit on the runway for a bit. Remember that you aren’t really supposed to use the lavatories in those situations as it’s an “active runway” situation, so plan to use the bathroom if you need to prior to descent.

As bad as it gets. Sign in at one terminal (40 minutes), walk to another terminal to go through security (1 hour+), then take a shuttle through taxiing planes on the tarmac to your flight's terminal (up to another hour). Absurd.. Give yourself a whopping 4 hours or you could miss your flight.

Construction in the terminal so allow for extra time in SFO. Very easy finding luggage and getting outside at Newark. Also, this time, took the Express Bus into Manhattan - $25 is a good price, though the bus arrived 20 minutes after the scheduled time.

Bring your own food with you. Airport and airline food is expensive and you WILL need something to eat on such a long flight.

You get a little a Pretzel bag or Biscoff crackers. Bring your snacks for the long haul. And listen for free gate checks !

If you use the United mileage card, you will have priority boarding, which puts you to board in group 2, you get one free luggage checked in, gives you 2 free annual passes for United Club, drop off bags it's easy and convenient on level 2 in both airports Lax and Newark after checking in online
