Starting March 28th Continental, now in Star Alliance, will begin daily nonstop services from Newark to Lufthana's 2nd largest hub, Munich. CO now connects EWR nonstop with Frankfurt, Hamburg, Berlin and Munich. An open-jaw to HAM and back from MUC would be a very nice and ideal way to see all of Germany, not just Bavaria...

I flew non-stop EWR to MUC on Lufthansa last summer. Nie wieder! The only airport worse, in my opinion, than Newark is Philadelphia. At EWR, to get from a domestic gate to the international terminal, you have to go outside security and come back in, and the TSA people at EWR are hostile. Half the workers seemed to have no other assignment than to scream at the passengers. And the food service in the international terminal was minimal and grossly overpriced (probably because they knew you didn't want to leave security to get better food).
At Philly, they still scream at you, but at least all the food service in the terminal is accessible and thus more competitively priced.
