Will it fly?

New York Port Authority officials hope the modern Terminal B will spur a revival of
air travel from LaGuardia. Perhaps, but only if you're flying one of the four airlines
that use it. Passengers flying other airlines will still pass through one of LaGuardia's
aging terminals. Some individual concourses at Terminals C and D have been replaced, but the entire airport renovation is not slated to be completed until 2026.
Terminal B is an excellent start to improving LaGuardia's passenger experience, with
modern dining options; numerous shops; large bathrooms; and airy, art-filled spaces.
However, LaGuardia struggles with an ever-increasing number of passengers and is
wedged on a small piece of land with no room for expansion. We'll see if this shiny,
modern terminal makes boarding an airliner any faster and less stressful, or if it'll just
be a pleasanter place to wait for your delayed flight to depart.

Central Terminal ceased and the modern, light- and artfilled $4 billion Terminal B opened. The new terminal, which
serves Air Canada, American Airlines, Southwest Airlines, and
United Airlines, is just part of a complete $8 billion renovation of the airport.
The new terminal is 50 percent larger and offers 50 shops
and restaurants, outdoor dining with Manhattan views, and
four contemporary art installations. Using 625,000 ceramic
tiles, artist Laura Owens covered 25,000 square feet of the terminal walls-almost half the size of a football field-to create
a mosaic skyscape of white clouds in a blue sky with iconic
images of New York City, including a hot dog, ice cream truck
