I avoid Newark at all costs for other reasons.

We had a data center in Newark, near the airport. We had to unlock the chain link fence any time we came or went. The fence surrounded the parking lot and was topped off with concertina wire.

I once spent the night on a bench on the sidewalk at Newark Airport, waiting for it to open.
It's a long story, I was working at Exit 8A and my wife went into labor. It was the last time I flew on a DC8. It only had a few passengers, a very nice flight.

Then there was the old People Express terminal. It was tiny and had a low ceiling and People Express had a 747 flight from Newark to Boston. The terminal was built for small airplanes and the 747 was not small, it was a shoulder-to-shoulder cattle car, but it was cheap.

Wow!! That seems like it would be a really short flight. It would probably never fly at the proper height. LOL. Get up to height, and when it got there, start going down for the landing.
