News and notes from around the interweb:
- You’ve been OTG’d.
Even for an airport, the food options in Newark Airport are abysmal. The contempt for customers showed by selling such slop is quite amazing. At least I have an answer to the question “How bad could a bagel actually be?”

- Sucking the soul from hotels, and from Pasadena.
Staying at a formerly world class hotel in Pasadena and thinking about how horrible the consultant class that’s taken over is, everything here a shell of its former self—small things replaced with plastic, food boiled down to lowest bidder deep fried items, prices jacked up,… pic.twitter.com/7gdoNn7xX6

- Awesome captain.
Everybody is on board… but due to capacity restrictions we have to wait for another hour. Cpt comes on the intercom, apologises, and the invites everyone who’s interested to visit the flight deck. Every kid (and not just them) on board went up there. That’s how to do it! pic.twitter.com/Zk4wST9BXl

- The most amazing parody social media airline complaint ever? Read the entire stream, and watch @AmericanAir play the straight man here.
- When this happens, the baby should become a citizen of the airline.
@betch And they named him “Jet” (via: @juliabernice)
The Langham in Pasadena is a shell of what the Ritz Carlton used to be.
I avoid EWR Term A like the plague. I prefer to do TSA at C and then take shuttle to A when I have a flt out of A. Nothing works there. New terminal but you have to take buses to get there while youvcan get to the old terminals on the Airtrain. Who designed this place? They should tear it down. Let’s not wvwn talk about the $8 cookies they try to sell there!
The food in Terminal A at Delta’s Sky Club beats the offerings at the United Clubs and most of EWR’s food service. To be fair, the United Club in Terminal C has the better view of the apron and NYC skyline.
For Kosher consumers (and Halal and anyone wanting guaranteed nondairy) the Polaris lounge at Newark Terminal C now offers hot pretty fresh Kosher food. The CIBO kiosks have Kosher sandwiches for sale.
