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.

Make sure to pack 2-3 days of clothing in a carryon.

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

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
