newark = the worst
February 17, 2009, 10:04 am
i do a lot of traveling and have been to a lot of crappy airports, but my newark experience this morning was probably the most traumatic.
why newark sucks.
1. you cannot get to terminal C to terminal A at 4:30am without exiting and entering a security checkpoint. that suckssss.
2. in fact, you can’t get from one section of terminal A to another section of terminal A without exiting and entering security. that’s just stupid.
3. the “newsstand” i went to find food at looked as if it had been looted. there was one sad-looking bag of pretzels and a torn open box of triscuits, and that’s about it. empty shelves, empty newspaper racks, torn magazines.
4. when i went to a deli stand to buy a juice, i handed him a $5. he asked if i had smaller bills b/c he had no change. … um, right. then i asked for ice water. apparently they don’t do ice at 5am, but i did get a nice cup full of lukewarm tap water.
in conclusion, the redeye is killing my soul.
Agreed! Try being stuck overnight on Christmas Eve in that airport. It was the worse experience ever.
i agree. that airport is garbage. the whole place smelled like hot dogs last time i was there.
like nathan’s “famous” hot dogs. ugh.
exactly. sick.
