When they say destroy all the terminals do they mean to do that to terminal D too? Delta just redid it.

It's not so poshut. There is a strong movement to abandon LGA like Hong Kong did with Kai Tak twenty years ago and just build JFK up bigger.

Ridiculous that they're not adding a runway.

+1 I agree. How ever the traffic is just going to be even more horrendous to JFK. Unless they build up JFK and remodel LGA and cap the flights or do the same and build an airport at Floyd Bennett Field and ditch LGA  ;D

Is there even room for another (parallel) runway?

By adding more gates it should help alleviate some delays.

I'm not the biggest expert on how an airport works. Far from it, even though I spend half my time in them.

But when I go to LGA my experience isn't just that I spend a lot of time waiting at the gate. That special form of gehinom which is LGA also entails sitting on a plane for an hour and listening to announcements of, "Don't worry, folks. We're number fifteen."

Bottom line: that would seem to indicate lack of space at the runway.

Even if it doesn't look nice it's still the fastest way to get from your door to the plane if you live in the city thanks to the small size and lack of lines. (At least early in the morning)

Esp if flying Eagle/Envoy.  When flying JFK-YYZ it is literally the farthest possible gate in terminal, clocking in at approx 8/10s of a mile.  I'd be surprised if LGA was 3/10s.

If you've ever been to Newark at 4am you will see the same sights. JFK is too far off the main road for it to happen but the bus drops them off at EWR.
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

"In the mornings, some of the bums leave for the day"
wow

It's like calling a pig a pig imo. It's only a pejorative if it's used on someone who has a home.

Some airline moves going to happen in the next few weeks at LGA.

Alaska, JetBlue and possibly frontier to move to the marine air terminal.

Delta to move all gates to terminal C and D. Spirit may move in with delta too.

American to move gates from C to consolidate at B.

Great to hear!  I flew Delta LGA-ORD a number of days ago out of Terminal A (Marine Terminal).  Not fun having to both transfer terminals and re-clear security if you use a Sky Club or Centurion Lounge.

Marine Air Terminal is worse than a bus terminal. I do not fly AS, B6, F9 so it should not effect me.

It’s still the closest one to the city and may eventually have a boat to connect it to the city in future plans.
