Is 56 Minutes enough to get between terminals at Newark International (EWR)?
I have a flight going from charlotte to Newark, and a 56-minute connection between wheels down in Newark from charlotte, to wheels up in Newark to Mumbai. Could anyone tell me what my odds are on making the flight, and if I cant, what are the odds I will be booked on another flight immediately after? I am flying United and wondered if anyone could tell me where these flights typically land and take off from, like gates and terminals.
Thanks, Josh

If your flights are on one ticket, United thinks you can easily make it, so don't worry - after all it is their problem to get you connected, and if you miss your connection, they have to pay for your hotel, transporatation, and food in EWR.
From experience, the international flight will also wait for some connections if they are late.
Rebooking your connection to the next day is not a good plan - you will for sure 'miss' your connection on the same day, you will pay extra for the change, and you pay yourself for staying a night near EWR. Why pay United money to be allowed to pay for your overnight stay? Let them pay for it, if you miss the connection.
If making the connection is important for you (because you don't want to be a day late at the destination), you can call them and ask to get an earlier connection to EWR, there are several daily flights from CLT to EWR.
If you booked it on separate tickets (which I doubt), you should definitely move the first leg earlier, as you and your luggage will never make it - you'd have to go outside of security, and they wouldn't even accept your luggage anymore.

Is 40 min layover enough in Newark?
40 minutes is tight even in the best of circumstances but Newark has lots of traffic, lots of delays and is prone to weather issues (as is Boston for that matter). The United terminals are huge, so it can easily be a 10 minute hike between gates.Is 1 hour enough for connecting flights in Newark?
No, 1 hour is not remotely close to enough ahead of an international flight. EWR is a busy airport and has a lot of delays. The smallest delay in the first flight will cause you to miss the connection. I'd want two hours or preferably three just in case.How long does it take to walk from Terminal C to Terminal A at Newark?
