Re: United and the new terminal at EWR
Notice how none of these are set to be operated by their high capacity narrow-bodies (752/739). I know United loves to schedule a certain aircraft (aka 738) and vary between types, but will that be the case with this? That was the second thing I looked at too (after scanning the city list). UA has ...

Re: The One Reason A Subway Link To LGA/JFK Won't Work
Based on the replies so far, clearly I'm the only person with two functioning arms and two functioning legs to have ever tried traveling on the NYC subway with luggage and found it a grueling experience. I would never have guessed I was a minority of one!

Re: The One Reason A Subway Link To LGA/JFK Won't Work
Travelers and NYers are adaptable. A turnstile or some steps is not going to stop them for using a direct subway link to the airport in favor of buses instead. We’ll take the existing turnstiles and steps for a faster, more reliable, and more predictable trip to the airport. Have YOU tried doing th...

Re: The One Reason A Subway Link To LGA/JFK Won't Work
The lack of accessibility in much of the NYC subway system is a disgrace. They were built anywhere from 90 to 114 years ago and most do not have elevators to get you to street level (actually I don't think any do!). . But this is completely incorrect. A bit over 25% of stations are accessible stati...

I've noticed at many airports (MIA, LAX to name two) that have parallel runways where one is used for landings and the other for takeoffs, that the plane that will be taking off "lines up and waits" until the plane landing on the runway next to it has almost touched down. Is this because t...

A full flight isn't necessarily a profitable flight... I highly doubt you will see CLT-HNL return. HNL is easily served over DFW/PHX/LAX. CLT-HNL-CLT essentially eats up a frame for 24 hours. In that same 24 hours, a plane can do several Caribbean and/or Continental US segments, and likely earn mor...

SkyTeam has a minimal presence at EWR these days, so there won't be any feed to this flight.

That's why I think a 772 is too m...
