It's worth the walk to C to have a soda or iced tea and then grab and go with all the junk food (chips, chocolate, jerky, trail mix, cookies) you can stuff into you baggage ! Not so good for your health or waist but little about commercial flying is healthy. It will be even more complicated for us military types who might also like to stop into the USO lounge which has very different offerings than a Centurion lounge and encourages take-out … it's in Terminal B of course! I’ve quickly (3-5 minutes) and easily walked between B and C many times, the new A does not appear to be within walking distance of B (or C). Agreed, for connecting pax only way would be a long connection to/from an international flight and never know, the Centurion Lounge could be more appealing (than the Polaris lounge).įor pax originating at EWR, particularly if driving to the airport which for many requires allowing for lots of extra time for inevitable traffic delays, on those rare occasions with no traffic delays they could easily get to the airport several hours prior to flight time in which case they could be dropped at A, enjoy the new lounge and then saunter over to C at their leisure.
The only way I could potentially imagine having that much time would be for an awkward international connection, in which case I would hope to be in the Polaris lounge. And since many of those dont leave until the evening, the Polaris lounge here was quite slow until about 4 p.m. Newark is a major hub for transatlantic flights to Europe. My goal is to never have a layover long enough to do that. This lounge is massive, clocking in at roughly 27,000 square feet and it feels much bigger than that.
… but I can't imagine ever making the trek from C to A back to C on a layover. Old-time sailors once replaced broken masts with flimsy temporary poles that often fell on crew members and came to be called "injury masts." In time, "injury" was shortened to "jury," and "jury mast" was followed by the terms "jury-built" or "jury-rigged." Jury was promptly slurred to "jerry"- a serendipitous development because the later term "rigging a jury" has an entirely different meaning and history. From the Latin adjutare ("to aid") via Old French ajurie ("help or relief").įrom the Latin adjutare ("to aid") via Old French ajurie ("help or relief").
a mast for the day, a temporary mast, being a spare used when the mast has been carried away. Two theories about the origin of this usage of "jury rig" are: The adjectival use of "jury", in the sense of makeshift or temporary, has been said to date from at least 1616 when according to the 1933 edition of the Oxford Dictionary of the English Language it appeared in John Smith's A Description of New England. The phrase "jury rigged" has been in use since at least 1788.
