As one of two airports in New York City, LaGuardia is working to set itself apart from John F. Kennedy International Airport.

Early in 2022 New York governor Kathy Hochul; Rick Cotton, executive director, Port Authority of New York and New Jersey; Kevin O’Toole, chairman, Board of Commissioners, Port Authority of New York and New Jersey; and Frank Scremin, CEO, LaGuardia Gateway Partners, celebrated the completion of LaGuardia’s Terminal B — a major milestone in the terminal’s $4 billion transformation. With the new terminal and opening of LaGuardia’s Terminal B western skybridge, every arriving and departing passenger at Terminal B will experience newly built, 21st-century architecture and facilities from gate to curb.

“The transformation of LaGuardia Airport into a world-class destination that is internationally recognized for its beauty is an integral part of our bold vision for a new era in New York,” Gov. Hochul said. “The completion of this $4 billion project will help provide a brand-new passenger experience for everyone traveling through Terminal B, easing connections and creating lasting impressions. Congratulations to all who made today’s milestone possible as we continue creating a whole new LaGuardia Airport worthy of New York.”

Terminal B won UNESCO’s 2021 Prix Versailles award for Best New Airport in the World, as determined by a blue-ribbon panel of international architects assembled by the United Nations agency. The terminal includes 35 gates; a 3,000-car parking garage; and convenient pickup facilities for both taxis and rideshares. While waiting for your plane to take off, check out the new retail options, dining concepts, stunning art and amenities that provide a world-class, 21st-century travel experience.

Recently, LaGuardia Airport underwent another $4 billion transformation with the opening of Delta Air Lines’ brand-new Terminal C in June 2022. The new terminal replaced two existing terminals and consolidated 37 gates into one spacious facility with a single arrival and departure hall, providing passengers with a new and efficient experience from the moment they arrive. The terminal features a centralized check-in lobby, security checkpoint and baggage claim area that proves easy to navigate.

Terminal C was designed for efficiency and speed, allowing travelers to navigate to and from their gates quickly with the help of the latest technology. This includes hands-free bag drops, self-serve check-in and digital ID screening capabilities.

The new concourses in Terminal C offer larger gate areas and more seating options, so guests can relax in comfort before boarding. Travelers can expect 30 percent more concession and dining options than the previous two terminals offered. Additionally, Delta opened a new Delta Sky Club, its largest, featuring a Sky Deck with views of the airfield, locally inspired dining and artwork from New York artists.
