CUB....ERJ nailed it right on in the post above.
"Wrap Around" is just another bit of dispatcher "planned fuel" to compensate for the "ATC Jersey Tour" that one may experience when being sequenced into the EWR landing flow....Coming in from the North and looping around to land on the 4's....same consideration from the South to land on the 22's or 11.
I wouldn't consider it on "AIM Approved" term tho!
