For many people, a trip to the airport is simply a means to an end. Whether you're traveling for vacation or business, you'll need to catch your flight in order to get there - and that's where the airport comes in.
All airports have the same goal, but any traveler knows that all of them aren't created equally. Some airports are sprawling ecosystems with multiple terminals and acres of space, while others can be traversed entirely on foot.
One airport may have more opportunities for scenic views, while others offer better food options. The Washington Post recently ranked the best airports in the country, and the No. 1 choice passed nearly every test with flying colors.
The Post ranked Portland's International Airport (PDX) as the top airport in America.
The airport was praised for its architecture, including the massive video walls that line the terminal space. Stadium-style seating wood benches offer a holistic view of the terminal, allowing observers to see most of the foot traffic in the busy space.......
Other top airports on the list include Long Beach Airport in California, Washington D.C.'s Reagan National Airport, the Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport and Seattle's Paine Field International Airport.

That is very likely.
Newark at least consolidated their rental cars on-site, used to be if you missed your rental car agency, you were totally F’d.
One of my employees said she missed the Newark Budget lot and got to the airport. I asked how she ever found her way back to the lot. Pure genius, she waited at the airport for the budget bus, then followed it to the lot. I now have that method as a backup plan.
I live 5 hours away from the airport and often have to fly out of it.
I hope you don't have to travel very often. Having to drive 5 hours to catch a plane would keep me at home. Not that I go anywhere anymore anyway. I live in central NY State. It used to take me 5 hours to get to Gettysburg, Pa., which I did quite often in my younger days. Too old now to take trips. Couldn't lug a suitcase around anymore. I'm glad I got my traveling done when I was younger. I was never a big fan of flying to begin with. Went overseas in 2006 and 2007. Haven't been on a plane since, and won't ever have to again.
