Haha they are literally just finishing up a $8 billion renovation, they basically rebuilt the whole airport in the past 10 years.
Believe me, it used to be like a gym locker room.
It is awesome now though, totally agree.

Excuse me, my gym's locker room is better than old LGA.
It used to be a dump but they've been slowly turning it around over the years with a lot of construction. I personally still wish they had better food options. But it does feel like a fairly modern clean airport now, just sometimes it is a bit of a ghost town depending when your flight is. Their flight selection isn't as good. Newark and JFK is usually going to have the better international and cross-country flight options.
The main problem with Laguardia is they don't have enough space/land. It runs like a finely oiled machine, but the second something goes wrong, it just causes a brutal domino effect. Newark and JFK have many more runways, gates, etc, so they can adapt when there is an issue.
So yeah, Laguardia looks nice now but when your flight gets delayed it still feels like hell on earth.
Couldn’t agree more, well said! It isn’t always about how nice it looks but actually how functional it is for the customers.
