I'm pretty sure that, based on when you posted this, it's not 6:30AM at LGA, because it's 5:33AM in Denver...

@M1 yesssss

OP... in that case, let me reword your post for accuracy:
"LGA: Ramp to Terminal B is blocked; PreCheck line 3x longer than regular security.
Took an hour to get from curb to gate.
It's like this airport wants you to be late."

With the time stamp being at 7:30AM, this would imply you arrived to LGA at 6:30AM....

AND A FUCKING RHYME AT THE END.
BOOOOOOOMMMMM.

All the NYC airports suck. It is known.

Not bush or hobby in Houston! Fantastic pre check and normal lines aren't bad either

Except IAH only has one pre check line in terminal A. Better hope your gate isn’t on the wrong side

Only fly United at terminal C I'm still trying to get reaccomadated and retire from consulting

Terminal B is like the annoying naughty kid in class that fuks it up for everyone else

@M1 - posted after navigating the cluster and boarding my flight

I’m so glad I neither live in NYC nor have to deal with those awful airports. If I did move there. I’d make sure I didn’t have a job requiring much travel.

Move to DC - great airports!
