Newark, Nj/continental Airlines
I've finally arrived back in the UK 24 hours behind schedule due to missing a flight connection at EWR.
My flight out of TPA gave me a 3 + hour transfer time, arrived, checked in, a 55 minute delay was shown. According to ground staff it was due to "adverse weather" at Newark. Checked this, they had rain reported.
Delay then extended to 2 hours, boarded, then became three hours, good-bye connection!
From what I can establish the weather in EWR was not as "adverse" as was made out by Continental. Talking to other pax the consensus was "it happens all the time".
Can anybody explain exactly what the problem is with either EWR or Continental?
