My Four Days!

Day 1 at Laguardia.

Well the season is upon us! The hustle and bustle are back!

I started this four day tour at LaGuardia Airport yesterday. I met my group from Illinois & Kentucky. Normally I don’t do airport greets but the group will be with me for the entire weekend. So I do it as a courtesy.

How was the new Terminal B?

Very impressive! It was totally rebuilt and new for me. LaGuardia construction is still in progress. Who knows when it will finally be finished. There were some snags though.

Can you be more specific?

They have no skycap service. Since my group consisted primarily of senior citizens, my client specifically requested skycaps for the thirty or so passengers in the group.

So what did you do?

After dealing with some rude American Airlines employees (one literally walked way from me) I decided to go to the top — or close to it! Apparently the terminal is managed by a third party and the airline rents the space from them. So I was able to contact the management and they couldn’t have been more helpful. They arranged to have three of their employees help with luggage carts to bring to the coach. That made all the difference. In the meantime I walked through the terminal to take in its newness.
