Oh, let me count the ways:
\n – No free WiFi. In 2015. Soon they’ll be handing out candles.
\n – It reminds me of changing planes in O’Hare in the 70’s (& that’s not a Good Thing).
\n – The only map I could find was on a big display panel which spent 3 or 4 times as long displaying ads as showing me the map. I’d swear that it actually sensed my attention and flipped over to ads on purpose.
\n – No free WiFi. Seriously.
\n – Lots of fake variety in the food choices, with banks of “different” restaurants all fronting a single big kitchen churning out the same fries.
\n – Clearly not enough bathrooms. Saw way too many lines coming out of the ladies.
\n – God awful lines at the security checkpoints. Luckily I was on the “right” side, but the queues did not<\/strong> look fun.<\/p>\n

And the views of the area are, well, pretty industrial<\/em>. To be fair most airports aren’t in the most scenic of neighborhoods. Still, Newark Airport seems to live in a particularly stark pit of the universe. If I landed here at the start of a visit to the US, I’d certainly wonder if I should turn around and head home rather than venture out into that wasteland.<\/p>\n

I’ll go see where we get our candles in case it gets dark before we leave.<\/p>\n
