Of course it’s in Newark airport, possibly tied with ohare for “worst airport in America”

It’s so bad that it single handedly kills the entire reputation of New Jersey, and they deserve it.

Where's LaGuardia on that list? What's wrong with O'Hare?

Massively overcrowded. Not enough individual bathrooms (I.e for those with shy bladder), terrible food, terrible lounges.

Newark can't be fixed either. The runways are too close, and the airport is boxed in completely by highways, including US1-9, I-78, and the NJ Turnpike (I-95). They'd have to move half the runways over and probably take some space from the buildings to do it, and in Jersey, the unfathomably high cost of doing that would never get approved, especially since the port authority would have their sticky fingers all over it.

For someone to kill New Jersey's reputation, it needs to be alive to begin with...

Denver airport has the same. And it does not just ask for 18. I think 18 is the minimum, it is 18/20/25 or something similar. For water bottle priced for $5
