Reality Check by Dave Whamond for November 05, 2021

And there is no non-smoking section.

Looks more like the DMV

Never been to that airport.

You’re carrion.

Heathrow, certainly.

Forget about a handcart then.

..and what about when pigs fly…is there an extra charge for that too?

No….Bacon is allowed

Can’t take it with you.

And the Lavatories all have pay toilets, no paper and long lines.

I would have picked Newark, NJ. They don’t even advertise the food prices because they are so outrageous.

Why should LaGuardia be any different …?

There’s also an extra charge for “groping” at the scanner line.

The handbasket is probably too big for the luggage racks and has to be stored in the belly of the plane. I’ve flown a few of those small regionals.

And the road there has developed potholes as the good intentions wear out.

Here’s a look at one of the most disliked airports in America:

1. Losing sleep

Want to catch a few winks between flights? Don’t bet on it. LaGuardia ranked as among the worst airports in the world for sleeping, according to “The Guide to Sleeping in Airports.”

2. Late again

Only 65% of the flights arrived on time. It is the worst in the country for on-time performance, the Global Gateway Alliance (GGA) found in a a report earlier this year.

3. Try getting there

LaGuardia ranked 12th out of 13th for mass transit access. GGA put it near the bottom on the basis of high cost and low access to public transport.

4. Sorry mom, can’t Skype

Good luck getting on the web. LaGuardia ranks 38th on a list of the 50 busiest U.S. airports for cell phone data usage tested by RootMetrics.

5. It’s ancient

You can’t escape the past. Some of the infrastructure dates back to LGA’s original 1939 Work Projects Administration construction. New York Gov. Cuomo’s office says that the last major investment was in the 1990s.

6. What’s an amenity?

When it comes to amenities, LaGuardia is severely lacking.

7. Trashed in the Twitter-verse

Mashable compared the 20 airports with the highest Twitter traffic and ranked them from best to worst. LaGuardia came in at a lowly 18th, garnering more negative attention than positive.

8. Stop overloading!

The Central Terminal Building, Terminal B, was supposed to hold 8 million passengers when it was designed in 1964. It served 13.5 million passengers in 2014.

9. Can’t get any worse

LaGuardia topped Conde Nast Traveler reader’s choice awards 2014 list — in a bad way. The magazine labeled it “America’s worst.”

Almost done with a multi-billion dollar redevelopment. Still a small airports (can’t do anything about that), but it’s alot better then it was 4 years ago.

Cleaver retort>

So, could LaGuardia possibly be worse than JFK? I mean, HOW???

DMV, airport, he could have used multiple entrances…

Must be one of the restaurant in an airport food court. Those employees are not known for their customer service skills…

Last month at Phoenix to catch my connecting flight I had to walk about a mile thru the labyrinthine halls. No moving belt either.

I would have thought it was the DMV.
