They can’t shit on LaGuardia anymore now that the new terminals are opening so they had to find a different one

If one bares in mind that the current configuration of EWR was laid out in the 1970s than it's doing an admirable job. I've been through only three airports, EWR, Minneapolis International, and Tampa International. The last two would be considered decidedly better than EWR fpr most people but honestly I can't say that they blow EWR out of the water. It's a major airport, I'm not expecting much.

I've never had a bad time in EWR. I've asked for directions when I needed them, and staff always points me in the right direction and is friendly.

On the flip side, when I went to Pittsburgh, their airport was like baby proofed. I was new and had no idea where anything was, but the following the crowd got me to where I needed to go. it's hard to get lost there.

You can argue that Pittsburgh was a better airport. I don't see why that makes EWR a terrible airport though.

Moreover, Pittsburgh felt like it was 1/3 the size of EWR so of course the layout was simpler.
