“That’s Garbouj!” Bethenny Frankel rants about the lackluster Newark international airport lounge and reveals an unsavory meal selection – after spending $6,000 on the flight
Bethenny Frankel warned prospective passengers expecting a first-class experience at Newark Airport’s La Compagnie terminal – not.
The former Real Housewives Of New York star, 52, gave fans a tour of the lackluster lounge and terminal on her Instagram account, calling it “garbouj” and rating it “disgusting.”
For the price of $6,400 for a round-trip flight on La Compagnie, a business-class-only airline, Bethenny was amazed at how disappointing her terminal was.
“With the exception of the La Compagnie terminal, the international terminals really are one of the most exciting parts of travel.” Not an event,” she began as she walked through the terminal.
“That’s basically the whole terminal.” And the duty-free is Garbouj,” said Bethenny, who recently appeared on the Today show.

Her disappointment continued as she entered the living room.
“I’ll show you the Kraft services,” she said, before presenting a lackluster selection of pastries, frito chips, empty soup pots, and a disappointing pretzel section.
‘WHAT IS THAT???’ she had written while opening the lids of the pots.
‘3200, one way. You know I’ll tell you when the expensive shit ain’t worth it. This is Garbouj!’ She said.
However, she praised the staff working behind the scenes.
“Notice that people work so hard here, I gave them a great tip,” she said.
She was in disbelief as she ate a plate of nachos alongside her fiancé, Paul Bernon. The chips, Bethenny pointed out, appeared to be Tostito’s scoops.
Bethenny was also embarrassed about the bathroom, branding it a “s**t show”.

Rated DISGUSTO: Frankel described the entire experience as “disgusting”
A pack of Clorox wipes lay on the sink, dirty shower towels were left in sight, and two unsightly garbage cans were also in sight.
“We can keep the Clorox wipes away and just two random litters. And don’t worry when you get on board, they only have laundry here in case you want to do some airline laundry.
“What a shit show!” she exclaimed.
An hour later, Bethenny was disappointed to find that the snacks in the lounge still hadn’t been replenished.

Also, her lunch was still on her table 20 minutes after she left.
“It’s really different,” she said.
“It’s just been shocking so far,” she said.
Passing a sign advertising the lounge, she wrote, “And the rating is DISGUSTO!”
