Walking tour of LaGuardia Airport (LGA) NEW YORK

This is a walking tour of the new LaGuardia Airport. Terminal B. In New York City.
Throughout the 2000s and 2010s, LaGuardia was criticized for its outdated facilities, inefficient air operations, and poor customer service metrics. In response, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) in 2015 announced a multibillion-dollar reconstruction of the airport's passenger infrastructure, which is expected to be completed by 2025.
As of 2023, it was the third-busiest airport in the New York metropolitan area behind Kennedy and Newark airports, and the 19th-busiest in the United States by passenger volume.
It is named after former New York City mayor Fiorello La Guardia.
Fiorello Henry La Guardia (December 11, 1882 - September 20, 1947) was an American attorney and politician who represented New York in the House of Representatives and served as the 99th Mayor of New York City from 1934 to 1946. He was known for his irascible, energetic, and charismatic personality and diminutive, rotund stature.
La Guardia was interested in airplanes and served as a director and attorney for Giuseppe Mario Bellanca's company. He enlisted to fight in World War I and was promoted to captain by October 1917. He and Major General William Ord Ryan trained Italian pilots in Foggia. La Guardia became certified to fly on December 12, 1917. King Victor Emmanuel III of Italy gave him the Flying Cross.

I think you got the formula. Part surveillance man, part guided tour.

I walk I film and I chew bubble gum. And I'm all out of bubble gum.

The new terminal is beautiful but you have to walk miles from check-in to your gate. Plus you have to go up an escalator, then walk for a while - past all the shops, of course - then down another escalator - kind of doesn’t make sense.

What was the old terminal like?

[@arnettfiles340]

@@armorpro573 Good question. It was much smaller and it felt like you were in one of those 70s films like Airport or Airplane. It had a definite charm though, I miss it.

@@arnettfiles340 Didn't people complain it was too cramped and run-down? Kind of like Port Authority Bus Terminal?

[@arnettfiles340]

@@armorpro573 Yes very run down and cramped and I would say it was even smelly. I'm a little nostalgic though. Lol.
