Not terminal C. Please be clear when posting such things.
If I'm solo, checked in with PRE/CLEAR lines open, and without checked bags, there's no way I'm getting to the airport earlier than T minus 45-60.I've yet to miss a flight out of >1,000 DPs. Ahem @Something Fishy @whYME @aussiebochur @moish @chaim'l But yes, take away any of those factors and the timeframe will shift.
Not to mention your ex-cle where clear helps
I always expect delays when flying to/from EWR.
