What would be the latest time someone could arrive at EWR motsei chag on 4/17 for UA 90? The scheduled departure is 10:50PM. Flying J. Unfortunately doesn't have PreCheck.
Probably not doable. EWR is notorious for being strict about closing the flight an hour before departure.
Bag cutoff is T-60.
UA Terminal C security checkpoint is a hot mess to put it mildly.

Thank you all.
We'll do DL via JFK, which leaves an hour later.

Looks like Arkia flew to Sharm when it was Israeli controlled.
Have there been any flights between Israel and Sharm since 1982?

No.

Friend of mine forgot one of his by mistake, and was brought in for questioning on the Israeli side.

I think they only don’t let in the carry on.

I had a souvenir bullet in my carry on and security made me go back and check it in.

A kid was locked up for months for a bullet in his checked luggage on  a stopover in Russia 2 years ago. Be careful.

I'm talking about a direct flight in checked luggage.

TSA allows ammunition to be carried in the checked luggage.

With regards to the Israeli side, the only thing I could find on LY website is the below, not sure if a bullet fits any of the definition.

Any update on the direct Manila flights? There was such hoopla a few months back but seats never got released for sale and there is no longer any mention of them opening the flights.
