It was quite enjoyable to fly with Air Canada out of the recently renovated Terminal A at Air Canada EWR Terminal. In this exquisitely renovated terminal, Air Canada, which is well-known for its reliable customer service and sophisticated approach to air travel, truly shines. The airline's trademark professionalism and a well-considered, traveler-focused setup enhanced every stage of the trip, from check-in to boarding. Here is my personal assessment of the amenities provided at Air Canada's EWR terminal and the reasons it contributed to such a stress-free and enjoyable journey.
The encounter starts with a friendly and quick check-in procedure. I was astounded by Terminal A's openness, modernity, and good lighting as soon as I walked in. The check-in desks for Air Canada were easily accessible and had adequate signage. The wait was brief, and a friendly airline agent was assisting me in a matter of minutes.
I had to check a bag even though I had already checked in online, and the procedure went without a hitch. There are a number of self-service kiosks close by for travelers who are pressed for time or who would rather be self-directed; these enable passengers to check in, print boarding cards, and tag their bags in a matter of minutes.
EWR's Terminal A has state-of-the-art security screening equipment and an architecture that prevents bottlenecks. I valued how tension and confusion were reduced by the obvious signage and easy transition from check-in to security.
The TSA screening area's efficiency and organization particularly pleased me. The procedure was significantly quicker for passengers like me who have TSA PreCheck. I was through and headed to the departure gate in ten minutes thanks to the prompt and polite security personnel.
Once through security, I had time to relax in the departure area—and what a pleasant surprise that was. Terminal A offers wide, open seating areas with plenty of charging ports, natural lighting, and flight information displays at regular intervals. The seating was more comfortable than usual for an airport, and it was easy to find a quiet corner to rest or catch up on work.
For those traveling in business class or with elite status, Air Canada’s Maple Leaf Lounge access is a premium offering worth noting. While I didn't have lounge access during this trip, I’ve experienced the Maple Leaf Lounge in the past, and it’s a true haven of peace and comfort. With quality food, drinks, Wi-Fi, and a quiet atmosphere, it’s a fantastic way to elevate your travel experience.
One of the highlights of Terminal A is the wide variety of food and retail offerings. Air Canada passengers can enjoy local and national dining options, including pizza, burgers, healthy meals, and artisan coffee shops. I grabbed a sandwich and iced coffee from a modern café with seating overlooking the runway—a great way to spend a little time pre-boarding.
There are also well-curated shopping options for those needing last-minute essentials, books, tech gadgets, or souvenirs. Everything felt fresh and new, and the space was kept remarkably clean throughout.
Air Canada’s boarding procedures were timely and well-organized. At the gate, agents announced boarding zones clearly, assisted travelers with questions, and kept things moving smoothly. There was no crowding or confusion—everyone boarded in order, and gate agents were helpful and respectful throughout.
The boarding process reflected the overall tone of the terminal and airline: calm, efficient, and courteous. It’s always refreshing to experience a well-managed gate where passengers feel informed and respected.
I have had some of the greatest airport experiences because to Air Canada's presence at EWR Terminal A. The airline's reputation for providing excellent service is complemented by the terminal's contemporary design. Every stage, from security and check-in to cozy waiting rooms and a smooth boarding procedure, was well-thought-out, pleasant, and quick.
Air Canada in Newark is a great place to start your journey, whether you're flying to Toronto, Montreal, or connecting to another foreign location. I will certainly use this route again and suggest it to others because of the excellent quality of service and the lovely new terminal. From the time you enter the terminal, it is evident that Air Canada is dedicated to making your trip enjoyable.
