Flying out of the new LaGuardia Airport Terminal B.Thomas Pallini/Business Insider
The Arrivals and Departures Hall of the new Terminal B at LaGuardia Airport just opened to passengers on June 13 after four years of construction, marking a new era for the long-forsaken airport. Known as the headhouse, it's the centerpiece of the first major overhaul to LaGuardia's largest terminal since it opened in 1964, replacing the old and congested Central Terminal Building.
Passengers flying on American Airlines, Southwest Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and United Airlines were the first to experience the new building, part of the $5.1 billion project to completely revamp the airport. The terminal itself is only around 80% complete but the first impression for departing passengers will now be a brand-new facility with the most modern infrastructure.
On a recent trip to Orlando on Southwest Airlines and United Airlines to test the social distancing policies of each airline, I flew in and out of the new terminal. I had already visited the terminal before its opening and saw all of its coolest features but now it was time to put it to the test as a regular passenger.
Come take a look at what it's like to fly out of and into the new LaGuardia Airport Terminal B.
