Historic American Airlines terminal at LaGuardia Airport demolished

AAL isnt doing that well financially. It be a damn miracle if they make it through this tight squeeze, operation RESET.

LUV and Jet Blue are in a better place.

The only thing I look for in an airport, is if the bar is open.


This thread reminds me of the George Carlin joke.


Why do they tell us the temperature at the airport? Nobody lives at the airport.

LaGuardia Airport’s Terminal B achieves gold standard in green certification

https://qns.com/2021/07/laguardia-ai...certification/

Seven years since then-Vice President Joe Biden likened LaGuardia Airport to one you would find in a “third-world country,” the first phase of its $8 billion reconstruction is nearing completion.

Biden helped break ground on the project in June 2016 and heard Governor Andrew Cuomo declare a complete transformation would get underway.

“Today, we are not just breaking ground,” Cuomo said. “We are building an entirely new LaGuardia and transforming it into a world-class transportation gateway for the 21st century.”

The sleek and modern Terminal B is more than 80 percent complete and it has now become the first airport project in the world to achieve the stringent LEED v4 Gold certification for building design and construction.

I’ve been to airports outside of the nyc area and they’re horrible to get around in and navigate or lacking in some way even if they generally look more appealing and feel better.

Customer service is also much worse.

Just because something looks great and modern doesn’t mean it functions well or serves its purpose correctly.

Sometimes unfortunately I honestly don’t think there are rational thinking individuals on these forums at times.

I actually liked the old narrow corridors of LGA. After flying in from some half-assed American city it made me feel like I’m finally home, back in the big time.

And the problem isn’t Third World airports. If you made it that far you did ok. The problem is Third World airlines that have a terrible track record of crashing 737s into the jungle.

I have been to third world airports in Bosnia, Kosovo and Macedonia and ultra-small local airports within the US such as Kodiak, Alaska. Laguardia never looked like one of those, but in many ways was worse because at least at third world airports, very few planes arrive so you are in and out quickly and efficiently, usually with only a small building between you and the parking lot where whoever is picking you up can park and wait without being hassled by security.
