@afcgeo I didn't know that they had that on Saturdays. I've thought that in general, going at least as far back as the 1970s, LGA is mostly domesric US flights and JFK is mostly international flights, but has a small amount of domestic too. But most domestic is out of LGA, it's why most people coming from elsewhere in the US fly to LGA unless they're stopping over to make an international connection. Many other cities have a good mixture of domestic and international at their main airport, such as Chicago O'Hare or LAX. But New York and Washington DC are the two cities which have one mainly domestic and then one mainly international airport, DC's being Reagon National and Dulles

She didn't notice until she was almost on the plane and rushed back to find it gone. As her flight was leaving she had no choice but to head home without it. That evening I called American Airline security at Terminal one and not only did they answer the phone immediately but they managed to find her lost bag and were extremely helpful in getting it back to us. They were fantastic and I wish every airport had people like the wonderful ones at American at JFK!

Two things of note about Newark: They were also the departure airport for United Airlines Flight 93 on September 11th. This is the flight that crashed in Pennsylvania and although only 44 people died, it is probably a more notable tragedy. On a lighter note, Newark is also a much larger base for non-NYC travel. No one who lives outside of the five boroughs or is just visiting NYC would ever use either of those airports willingly because NYC traffic is a nightmare.

Their are also arrivals like the 1960 New York Mid-air collision between a United DC-8 inbound to Idelwild Airport (JFK name at the time) and a TWA Lockheed Super Constellation bound for LaGuardia with 134 fatalities from both collisions and 6 on the ground, another is Eastern Airlines flight 66 in 1975 a Boeing 727 which crash on approach to runway 22 due to Microburst with 113 fatalitie and 11 survivors, which was investigated by the NTSB and Meteorologists most notably Ted Fujita which crated the F scale for tornado rating and help raise the awareness of Microburst and its dangers to low flying planes. The last crash I know of was and Avianca flight 52 a Boeing 707-321B the crash at Cove Neck, Long Island which after suffering a fuel starvation after doing a missed approach to JFK with 73 fatalities and 85 survivors from both crew and passengers in 1990.

LaGuardia works perfectly fine for what it was designed for. You can check your luggage, board a flight, and jet away to your desired location. What's changed is our expectations of what an airport should be. We now expect airports to be shopping malls and day spa's.
@anthonydpearson 2 жыл бұрын
Except most of the time your luggage gets lost, you can't board your flight because it's delayed due to poor design, and miss your connecting flight. Also airports being shopping malls isn't because we've become more accustomed to it, it's because airports make money that way, which in turn leads to reinvestment and better service and smoother flight operations with less delays. It's not a 'sometimes the old ways are best' things, it's a 'bougie airports are functionally better airports'.

@@anthonydpearson To say that most of the time your luggage gets lost at LaGuardia is a ridiculous exaggeration. As for actual flight operations, very little can be done to improve that at LGA - the airport has only 2 runways, intersecting at 90 degrees, and no room to build another.
@anthonydpearson 2 жыл бұрын
@@syramento You're wrong. The new LGA is VASTLY better because they built a giant overpass for pedestrians to the new terminals, which allows planes to travel underneath. This reduces traffic on the tarmac, leading to less delays and much smoother operations and OTP, since what was effectively a one way road before now gives planes a second route to get to the gate. And all this was funded with the money from the new shopping malls in the new airport that you deride.
@syramento 2 жыл бұрын
@@anthonydpearson LaGuardia has always had 2 or more taxiways to the runways except for runway 22, which only has taxiway R for a full-length departure. Runway 13 has taxiways P & G (plus more if the aircraft cross 4-22 further down), runway 4 has B & AA, and runway 31 has A & B. Of course, the more taxiways the more places to park aircraft that can't get to the gate for some reason (usually because the gate is occupied), making life easier for the Tower. The real problem is the lack of parallel runways. LaGuardia's most efficient operation is departing runway 13 with all climb-outs while landing runway 22. In that configuration both arriving and departing aircraft have the shortest travel distance to the runway intersection, which allows for a tighter operation. By contrast, when departing runway 31, runway 22 arrivals have to be spaced further apart to allow room for departures in-between arrivals. Departing runway 4 while landing runway 31 has room to fudge spacing because the arrivals have a lot of runway before reaching the intersection, but in that configuration the Expressway Approach is usually being used. The Expressway Approach is the most challenging for the Tower because of the need to control the pattern. The other dual-runway operations fall in-between what I've already mentioned in terms of operation efficiency. The least efficient operation is whenever the airport has to operate off a single runway (such as high winds or runway closure for de-rubberizing). Departures have to be squeezed out between arrival on the same strip, naturally delaying departures because arrivals always the right-of-way. There is a reason flight operations are slot-controlled at LaGuardia. There is a limit to how many airplanes can be safely moved per hour with the limited runways, and the airport operates right up to that limit most hours of the day (excepting 11 pm to 7 am). All it takes is one hiccup to throw the operation into delay hell, regardless of the available taxiways or pedestrian walkways.

Also, part of the tax deal was that jetBlue had to have jet flights to Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and Albany to connect to the JFK hub to restore lost her service over the years.

I don't know how LaGuardia got the 'first new U.S. airport in 25 years' statistic, but it is entirely not true. They are claiming that they are the first new airport in the united states since Denver International airport opened in the 90s, which is untrue for three reasons a. The new LaGuardia is not entirely new, it is just a rebuilt terminal, using existing runways and terminal A is staying As is. Whereas Denver was built from scratch where there was no airport before. b. If that is the definition of 'New airport' then The completely new terminal at New Orleans's airport, which opened last year, would be the airport LaGuardia would be the first new airport since. c. Even if LaGuardia was being built from scratch, the Last one was not Denver. In 2009, Panama City, FL opened a new airport where there was none before, and likewise in 2015, in Williston, North Dakota.

@Ron D Panama city, FL opened a completely new airport in 2010, and Williston, ND, did similarly in 2019. Auston Bergrstrom was also not completely new, because it was on the site of a former Air Force Base.
@Parborway 3 жыл бұрын
@Ron D You don't need commercial air service to constitute an airport. By the FAA's Definition, Bergstrom Air Force Base was, in fact, an airport.
@anthonyvallillo422 2 жыл бұрын
@Ron D An airport is any place to operate airplanes. Any AFB that has runways is an airport, by any definition. A Military airport, to be sure, and perhaps not available to non military airplanes except in emergencies, but an airport nonetheless. Commercial service has nothing to do with whether a site is or is not an airport. If the former Bergstrom AFB was demilitarized and became a commercial airport, that does not make it a NEW airport, except in the sense of new service. The infrastructure was already there, for the most part. At best, it would be in the category of the new LGA - ie, a new terminal.

If you're going to/from Manhattan, Newark is by far the most convenient. You can be from terminal to Penn Station in 45 minutes or less if you time it right. Newark is also most convenient for upstate NY and Connecticut as you can bypass NYC altogether. JFK is more convenient for Brooklyn and outer Long Island. LGA is most convenient for Queens and the Bronx.

As a Newark native, most people don't realize that its easier to get to the city from Newark because the Belt and the Van Wyck are parking lots. A much smaller parking lot would be one of the tunnels or the GWB. Or if you're rich, just go to Teterboro and avoid the madness altogether.🤦🏾♂️🤣

LaGuardia doesn’t have that weird circular thing anymore and old looking buildings and dark lighted placed and low ceilings with very dirty floors. Now as of 2022 LaGuardia is bright very clean open spaces modern Lounges easy to navigate indoor trees open spaces and has many shopping spaces and a huge water feature. The airport even won a unesco award.

The first commercial airport in NYC was, in fact, Floyd Bennet Field, not LaGuardia. It was opened to commercial traffic on May 23, 1931. American Airlines operated out of Floyd Bennett until LGA was built in 1939.
@anthonyvallillo422 2 жыл бұрын
Hizzoner Fiorello himself pulled the stunt that led to the development of LGA. He was traveling to "New York" (using, of course, Newark airport), and when he arrived he refused to deplane, declaring that his ticket read "New York". This was factually true, since the airlines considered EWR to be the airport for NY (which it was). But hizzoner had already alerted the press ahead of time, and the airline ( I think it was TWA) decided to fly him over to Floyd Bennet, which at that time was actually a military field in Brooklyn. This stunt got the publicity ball rolling and the rest is history!
