Another NYC trip.
The Newark Airport always seems to be an adventure. Its close proximity to NYC and the "usual" easy train ride from Penn Station makes it a great choice when the price is right.
They have spent lots of money upgrading the security check zone so that is actually a civilized experience. It turned out that did not mean it would be a good or more efficient experience. Wow in my few trips through there recently it seems to take even longer than it did in the old "mess" they called security check.
But this past trip the real adventure was getting from the train stop at the airport to the terminal building. On a slow day it usually takes about 15 minutes to get from train stop to the terminal on the airtrain. 90 minutes on Saturday. It involved lots of waiting, in and out of many airtrains at more than one station, screaming and ranting airtrain staff, a bus and lots of people that didn't speak English that were just trying to figure out what could possibly be going on. And as one of those that should have understood what was going on and the ranting employees I had no clue either. It went from odd to questioning to over the top bizarre very quickly. Terror attack would have probably been dealt with better.
Did make it home and revving up for the next airport adventure - in the current environment every airport experience is an adventure.
