Perhaps, but I've really just had it with UAL between IAD-EWR and IAD-ORD. Fully 75% of my flights between these airports this year have been late according to my search for
united "flight delay" in my Gmail.
Sure enough, I saw that had I taken the flight, the return from EWR>IAD was so late that it didn't take off until after it was supposed to have landed in IAD.
Customs didn't give a crap, they actually assisted me in getting it tagged correctly to the main terminal carousel.
EDIT: I will say the Polaris lounge is amazing at EWR and am looking forward to using it on an upcoming paid-F OCONUS trip. Just tired of the incessant flight delays and the no-good-reason for not being able to just stop in IAD.
