You too were once a screaming obnoxious child.
Now? Just obnoxious.
Delta operates what it calls the Delta Shuttle from LGA to both DCA and BOS. The flights depart hourly, have less stringent check in rules, etc. to ensure they remain competitive with train travel. Until the last few years, the flights also departed from the Marine Air Terminal at LGA, a terminal on the opposite side of the airport from the rest of the terminals (and a historic landmark from the early days of aviation btw), which simplified things considerably. The only people going through security were usually Shuttle pros and the total number of people was small because it was basically just the number of people who could be on each hour’s flights — hence security was fast and a very short walk to the gate. You could reliably get from curb to gate if you arrived at T-15 minutes, occasionally even less if you were lucky.
However as Delta expanded its presence at LGA more broadly, they needed to move the flights to the main C/D terminals. First because they wanted to facilitate connections between the Shuttle flights and other fights at LGA. (That’s why BOS flights moved a few years ago.) Then they traded the entire terminal away to get more gates in C/D
Those were the days ... the Marine Air Terminal was the best ... rear air stairs on the Mad Dog 88’s ... everyone a seasoned and practiced traveler for the quick turn. Snif.
