Travelers trying to flee New York on budget airlines out of LaGuardia Airport were faced with ankle-deep water Friday morning amid widespread flooding.
The airport was forced to close its Terminal A — from where flights on Spirit and Frontier airlines depart — as the floodwaters barreled through the building.
Photos and videos posted online showed the terminal covered in water as frantic passengers tried to flee.
One woman even shared footage from inside one of the terminals, showing her TikTok followers the water creeping up over her boots and seeping through the building’s revolving doors.

Didn't they just spend billions to bring LaGuardia up to Third World standards?

Yes. He has already reclassified LaGuardia as a seaport.

It seems like the “one hundred year floods” happen every year or two....and nobody fixes the flood maps!

Pete Buttgigger is organizing a flotilla of inflatable man-dolls to rescue all the airport "toe tappers" trapped in the airport mens' rooms.

He has already reclassified LaGuardia as a seaport. It already is, or was.
Terminal A used to be the LaGuardia Marine Air Terminal.
It's actually a beautiful building with the inside walls covered in art deco murals. I flew in and out of it once.

Love seeing this headline…. When the flight I am on lands there around 6:30 pm tonight. I’m not on either of these airlines, I do hope I don’t have to wade out to my connecting flight.

Re: LaGuardia Marine Air Terminal (Post 12)
Seaplanes were the reason LaGuardia was built where it is. It was never meant to be a full-size airport, especially since the powerbrokers in New York in the 1920s viewed aviation as a competitor to their railroads.

I wonder how many EVs were rendered useless in the flood?

Terminal A is the original LGA terminal. It was the AA and Eastern hub. Unlike Terminals B and C, it has not been upgraded. However, turd-world airlines, like Frontier and Spirit, deserve a turd-world terminal.

I've flown all over the world on dozens of airlines.Emirates...Qantas...United...Air Tanzania...Air Malawi and many,many others.
I've also flown Spirit...and I must say that it much more closely resembled Air Malawi than Emirates or United.

Is Pete booty breath going to fix this? Probably at some homo bar sipping from a multi-colored drink.
