I can attest to the conditions at EWR in the early AM. We arrived at EWR on flight 410 from IAH about 2 AM. There were tons of people at the gate, waiting for a CDG flight that was scheduled for 3:57 AM. (It must have been 138, which shows a departure time of 3:29 AM. 54 was canceled.) There was also a huge line at the Service Center in Term C, and baggage claim was a mess. Our flight was only 30 min. late, but the baggage carousel was never posted on the arrival monitors, nor was the flight number ever posted on the carousel monitors. I eventually found my bags on carousel 5 by sheer luck.
I also heard an announcement that a San Juan flight that was diverted to BOS was finally arriving. Good times.
