“I hate that terminal. All the ambiance of the bus station...”

And yet, it is SO MUCH BETTER, than the old North Terminal, that I spent several cold nights in, watching the snow piling up in the hall, as it came under the doors.

PeopleXpress days...

Been there, done that Newark-London Gatwick back in college. I was too young and stupid to realize how awful it was...

Flew PeopleXpress to London, Denver and a few other destinations out of the old North Terminal. Not all that bad and the aircraft were fine ... as I recall our fare to London per person r/t was $150.00 ... you get what you pay for ... and I spent little time in the terminal. That, of course, was well before 9/11.

Ah, the days of paying in cash, on board, like, $ 29.00 for a flight. The North Terminal was awful.

I find Terminal C to be fine at Liberty. The hyperbolic paraboloid roof sections are nicely lit from the underside at night.

When built over thirty years ago, it was quite an architectural wonder.
