You should not need to check in again, assuming you received all your boarding passes in BOM. TSA ScreeningĪfter you have re-checked your bags, you will exit the international arrivals area and be "landside" at the airport at Terminal B. If you want to take a COVID-19 screening and have time before your connection, find the XpresCheck station on level 3 (Monday through Friday, 10am – 6 pm), prices ranging from $75 to $200. If you plan to abandon your EWR-ORD-BOS flights, you can take your bags with you and simply leave the airport. If you do, you will need to take them all the way out to the ticket counter to hand them over to the airline again.īy the same token, at this point, you are indistinguishable from any internal passenger who started the day in New York or Los Angeles and not Mumbai. This is inside the customs area-be sure you do not exit the secure area with your bags. Once done with that, there will be airline staff waiting just past the screening area to re-check your bags with the airline. This is the only opportunity you will have until your final destination. duty-free fragrances), and likewise if you want to retrieve anything from the checked bags. Baggage Re-CheckĪfter you clear customs inspection, you should review your carry-on items and see if you have any restricted items that you need to stow in the checked bags, chiefly drinks and other liquids (e.g. In the event you have any illegal or harmful goods (foods and agricultural goods will come under particular scrutiny) you will need to discard them, and in the event you have quantities of alcohol, tobacco, or other restricted items exceeding the personal exemptions, you will need to pay duty on them. They may want to conduct a hand search of the bags this is not uncommon. Baggage Claim and CustomsĪfter you clear immigration, you will proceed to a baggage claim area where you will collect all your bags, then proceed through Customs screening, where you will present your customs declaration form and where your bags will be scanned. It is hard to predict how long you will have to wait in line, between the countervailing forces of COVID-19 reduction in travel and holiday season increase in travel, but the CBP has an Airport Wait Times website you can consult. The CBP officer will scan your passport, ask you a few questions about your visit, and stamp you in. citizen or permanent resident and not otherwise enrolled in Global Entry or a compatible program, you will wait in line until called to a kiosk by Customs and Border Patrol. You did not specify your nationality, but if we assume you are not a U.S.
Just follow the signs for international arrivals, and don't worry, it is impossible for you to accidentally leave without being processed. Transfer at EWR ImmigrationĪfter you land at EWR, all passengers will disembark the plane and proceed to passport control. It speeds up the process to have this form completed before you deplane, but should you misplace it, there should be extra copies available after you land. For most people, only the customs declaration form (6059B) is of interest it provides basic information about who you are and what goods you are bringing into the country. The flight attendant will distribute traveler entry forms for you to complete prior to arrival. Since you are on a connecting flight on the same airline, there is no reason why they would not do this for you. Your bags should be tagged for your final destination (BOS) when you check them at BOM. You should be able to retrieve boarding passes for all three of your segments (BOM-EWR, EWR-ORD, and ORD-BOS) when you check in.
Do not do this if you are on a round trip ticket, however, as failure to show up for any flight will result in all subsequent flights on your ticket being canceled. If this is a one-way ticket, you can forfeit the EWR-ORD-BOS segments and take the train or whatever you prefer to save yourself the out-of-the-way connection.
Most likely, you will be subject to a change fee on top of any fare difference between the flights, which makes the cost unpalatable for most people. If you want to change your flight to go directly from EWR to BOS, I would contact United as soon as possible.
