Flights from Newark to South America: the best tips from KAYAK users

Insights shared by verified travelers who flew the route from Newark to South America 
JesseFlew with United AirlinesEWR-GRUJan 2025
There aren’t a whole lot of options to fly from Newark to São Paulo, but I would fly LATAM from JFk over United. The service is so much better. The United flight attendants were indifferent to any passenger needs. Even asking for a water and a juice at the sane time seemed to annoy him saying “I don’t know where you will fit two drinks but here you go. Good luck.”

United Airlines is a good choice. I have no complaints at all. I liked Newark airport.

Although the flight left late, we arrived early. It was one of the quickest boarding and off boarding experiences I’ve had. It was kind of annoying the only drinks they had were water, coffee, and tea. The flight was very smooth, temperature was just right, and flight attendants were friendly.

Although the flight left late, we arrived early. It was one of the quickest boarding and off boarding experiences I’ve had. It was kind of annoying the only drinks they had were water, coffee, and tea. The flight was very smooth, temperature was just right, and flight attendants were friendly.

Seats were really tight and the seat belts did not give enough slack.

The dear was very limited in space. I could put my water bottle in seat basket. Also, there was no inflight entertainment in the delta app?

We were forced to wait nearly 50 additional minutes before leaving the terminal.

Customer service at the gate in the flight was exceptional. On time. Aircraft and seat was decent. Thanks Delta. 💗

The WiFi has been awful on my last few Delta Air Lines flights.

The woman in seat 1A was allowed to bring a dachshund dog onboard. It smelled terrible and the odor wafted throughout the first class cabin. This was clearly not a service dog and should be prohibited. I paid for the highest class of service, and this was a disservice. Why is Delta allowing this? I may reconsider my future flight choices.

Only one side of the heafphone jack work. Crew was friendly and helpful.

Typical flying experience in the US. Nothing particularly good or bad.

I was able to select a gluten free meal for my outbound flight operated by KLM but my selection wasn’t saved on Delta so I ended up not having a hot meal. The cabin crew was nice enough to offer some cheese so I could pair it with some gf crackers I had. The seat would recline but slowly but surely would come back up so I couldn’t sleep as I would have wanted to.

No entertainment but not expected. Unless you are referring to monitor that you can use. Then Al, was fine on all flights.

Friendly staff, It was the first flight out for our plane, so had to be deiced from the frost. Only delayed a few minutes,

We boarded so late it caused us to miss time at Foz. No real information was provided to the passengers waiting.

Basic experience, we were delayed causing less time to enjoy our destination and on the way back, we boarded when the flight should have been taking off.

Only complaint is that the entertainment system wasn’t working on our seats and some others.

Very slow boarding, 1 hour late - uncomfortable chairs and crew barely speaking english even at the airport!

4 hours delay, awful food and missed all my connections because of the delay to be rebooks for a flight 10 hrs later back home and never actually make it to my final destination

It was fine. no food or entertainment , but was only a 40 minute flight.

The boading process was fine. Had to wait for bus from tarmac to terminal. Had to go through 2 or 3 security checkpoints in Lima to make next connecting flight.

Routine and on time flight with pleasant stewards and decent food. Nice experience!

The tv monitor in front of my seat was not responding. The flight crew reset it and it still didn’t work.

Maybe add a seat trade app for flyers that didn’t get seats together

There's just no way to sit fully upright and comfortably in these seats. There needs to be 2 more inches of room, and that's not something that only one person on the flight needs - the whole flight needs 2 more inches of room. If that means you sell 6 less seats, so be it. It's too close for anyone. Forcing people to pay for "premium" economy just to get "barely enough space to breathe" isn't really an answer to that.

Boarding is very confusing. They have Line 1 and Line 2 and many many Boarding groups. Everyone lines up under those two lines long before they call zones. If you have a higher zone 2 like I did due to a Premium Plus ticket, it’s very awkward having to ask each person which zone they have. Extremely chaotic process. On board the flight attendants had no charisma whatsoever, even to us paying extra for an upgraded cabin. I asked for a chamomile tea after dinner (as no coffee or tea was even offered) and the FÃ said they didn’t have even though listed on the drink menu. Also, the mid flight service was entirely skipped which was a soup and sandwich combo. Supposedly had a variety of snacks mid flight too but those never materialized either. A few times I walked Back there, not a single flight attendant acknowledged me as they were all deep into their iPhones. I simply Wanted a glass of water since ZERO water runs were made on this 9hr 30 min flight.

Why is it that United flights from Newark are constantly delayed? Newark is a United hub!!!!!

horrible website for checking in- no option just to write the passport number; ludicrous

Everything good until we waited for jet bridge at SFO. Then pilot gets on speaker & said it won’t reach plane- too short, need to go to different gate. Then 5 min later, adjusted plane/jetbridge & all ok?!?

Nothing, whole flight was a nightmare, was forced to check my carryon bag at the gate, staff was rude and unprofessional

I was forced to check my carry-on backpack despite there being space - but it came out on the baggage carousel so fast it didn't even delay my pickup. Otherwise a good flight. Boarding began early (which was disadvantageous for me) but fine.

Flight attendant gave incorrect information and no immigration/customs forms!

Delays on all NY flights. There was no communication on why but they didn’t say it was weather. Other carriers were not delayed.

Extraordinary service in business class, and very good breakfast and snacks. A really lovely flight.

They cancelled our flight without warning OR a refund. Never doing business with American Airlines again! This is the second AA booked trip in a row that we've had challenges with.

It was so bad it will be my last. Connecting flight gate agent closed the door in my face when i told her my husband is 30 seconds away (and we were running close/late because the preceding AA flight was slightly delayed. We had to be rebooked on a non-direct flight with an overnight layover in Phoenix. This is the worst experience ever and for no fault of our own. The flight we were trying to get on would not have been late if the gate agent allowed my husband to get there. It was senseless, cruel and very upsetting. I don’t understand why we were subjected to this.

I got bumped due to weight restrictions even tho there were empty seats on my flight. I got put on an other flight with a stopover. My flight that originally was going to take 5-6 hours ever up being 14+ hours and my luggage arrived to my destination without me because I was made to check in my luggage on my original flight when I was deemed ok to board only to be asked to deplane. Worst flight experience.

Flight cancelled. Added a day and a half to my travel. American Airlines DID put me in a hotel for two nights, but have not given any money back for any of this! I spent money on an apartment at my destination that I basically wasted because I could not arrive.

I was pleasantly surprised with an upgrade at boarding. I finally had a mostly gluten free food options and a very attentive attendant.

Staff at the gate were incredibly rude, hostile and threatening. Never fly American Airlines.

AA had a nationwide tech glitch today and after two connections snd hours of delay, I arrived 7 hours late to my destination

Flight attendant walked away once they landed and we were forced to wait another hour after an already 3hr delay.

The plane flew smoothly and the crew was polite and kind. We loved our flight!

The senior flight attendant was engaging, funny and made everyone feel at ease. She is an asset to your team.

Terrible-extreme delay with very little communication, plane was overfull, luggage was returned on baggage claim in filthy condition.

Needs legroom for tall people. Needs to offer a glass of water.

I was traveling with my son and it was our first time with spirit so I didn’t realize our seats weren’t assigned. They scrambled and gave us seats next to each other. Also My son got sick on the plane and they really took care of him. Super family friendly crew and experience!

Great. I didn't eat or drink anything, nor did I have an option to be entertained, so i answered "okay"... but those categoriesreally don't apply. Everything else was great.

Spirit canceled the flight, sent no notification and then refused to issue a refund. Trash airline, will never fly again.

Boarding was smooth and on time. Flight itself was smooth (aside from some turbulence) and no glitches. On the downside, Spirit's no-frills service was as expected (no food or drink, cramped seating, extra cost for carry-ons, etc.), the announcements were nearly incomprehensible, and the constant niggling offers of upgrades and other services for sale (wifi, sandwiches, etc.) is annoying. Overall, a pleasant and uneventful experience - definitely worth the price.

Not efficient. Missed my connecting flight over improper operation of spirit crew.

We got to fly on the new airplane. Much better as it’s roomier and cleaner than before. Most Importantly it’s much more comfortable. I still can’t move the seat back but the extra space made up for it. I didn’t taste the food or drinks because they charge for everything so I didn’t bother. I didn’t experience the entertainment because I downloaded my own movies on my phone. The crew was great. The flight itself was smooth . No complaints.
