New York Airport Surprisingly Receives Top Travel Honor

One airport in New York recently was named one of the top airports in the country.

There are two types of people who go to the airport, those who leave extra early and give themselves the full two hours before their flight or those who cut it very close to their flight and get there right before. I love to whole experience of getting to the airport like getting there early, grabbing a coffee/magazine and getting that super excited feeling that I’m heading somewhere.

Airports can be a cool place, but there are some that are better and easier to navigate compared to others. There are a lot of factors that determine this like how far the airport is from your home, how big it is, how nice the staff is, what parking is like if you need to leave your car, how many stores are available to shop at after you get past security and more. There are a lot of factors that determine what a “good airport” is and there’s a lot that really goes into having that title.

One airport in New York recently received a huge honor when it comes to being a good airport.

What airport in New York was recently honored by Forbes?

A few people (including myself) are surprised by this, but LaGuardia Airport was recently named the best airport in the United States by Forbes Travel Guide. The airport did recently see a massive upgrade and atleast $8 billion dollars was spent on the big transformation in LaGuardia. Over the past few years a lot of money and time have been invested in LaGuardia and the honor means alot to those who work at the airport and frequently travel out of there.

LaGuardia has not had it easy and at one time it was considered to be one of the worst airports in the county. People were pretty ruthless about it and a lot of people you talk to have had atleast one bad experience at LaGuardia. Yikes, I hate to say it but LaGuardia was kind of the laughing stock of airports and people would generally try to avoid flying out there if they could help it. However, it seems like the times have really changed and after a much needed Facelift the airport is now a top travel spot.

Good job LaGuardia airport, the employees and everyone who worked on the renovations for turning the bad energy around and helping the airport recieve this honor. Keep up the good work and safe travels to anyone who is flying out of there.
