Reply to comment by porkinz in Newark’s stunning new Terminal A opens in just 1 week - "At $2.7 billion, the new facility represents the largest single investment in New Jersey by the Port Authority in the agency’s 101-year history." by madsheb

Newark Airport has real issues other than cosmetic things. It frequently has the worst on time performance.

Different airlines pay for priority. Rarely have delays with United.

It's anecdotal. I can never count on EWR departures or arrivals being quick, and I only fly United.

That matches my experience. I fly United all the time and there are frequently some delays in the process. Newark Airport accommodates more passengers and flights than it was ever built to handle. I mean the numbers are the numbers, we are literally the worst when it is tracked.
