My (rebooked) flight landed in Pittsburgh around 7:45AM and I was reunited with Baldur by 9. (Reunion with Dani will have to wait, since he'd already left for work by the time I got home.) I haven't read all my email, to say nothing of LJ and G+, and I doubt I'll even try to catch up. If there's something you think I should see, you know how to find me.

The Newark airport is a well-oiled machine, especially compared to Toronto Peterson where they're still rubbing sticks together to try to figure out how to make fire. I was at my connecting gate 35 minutes after stepping off the first plane -- including passport control, baggage claim, customs, baggage recheck, train to another terminal, and TSA. Granted it was 4AM, but I got a very favorable impression. I would fly through there again, were I to fly where that's relevant. (The airline was United. I don't know how much credit goes to the airline and how much to the airport, but that combination was smooth, at least.)

My one experience arriving at EWR (Newark) from an international flight was also very smooth. I think it took me 5 minutes to get through immigration and my checked bag was there right away.

However, that airport is pretty bad if you have to actually wait in line to check in there. (I normally check in on-line, but United's merger with Continental meant I couldn't do that for my first post-merger international flight.)
