LaGuardia Airport named best U.S. airport by Forbes

LaGuardia Airport has been named the best airport in the U.S. by Forbes Travel Guide, following a significant $8 billion transformation that began in 2016. The award, based on a survey of 5,000 hospitality experts and travelers, was presented in the newly completed Terminal C, which is part of a redevelopment project aimed at enhancing passenger experience and operational efficiency. Port Authority Executive Director Rick Cotton highlighted the project's success in changing the airport's perception from 'the worst' to 'the best,' while Delta Airlines emphasized the terminal's design improvements for smoother operations. Terminal C includes modern amenities and design features that have garnered positive feedback from travelers, marking a stark contrast to the airport's previous reputation. This accolade adds to LaGuardia's growing list of awards, including recognition from UNESCO for its Terminal B. The redevelopment effort demonstrates a commitment to creating world-class airport facilities in New York City.
