Am I doing a mistake? Going from PwC to Accenture for $45K more (113 Vs 158), and a role that’s better aligned with what I was doing before joining & what I want to be doing? I joined PwC for the experience and the exit opportunity it can provide me in the future, but it’s hard not to accept this role from Accenture! Decision need to be made by end of this week….

I landed at LGA this past Monday night and was greeted by a terminal worker saying “there are no functioning toilets in the airport, port a potties are available on the driveway” — that basically sums up LGA for me
People just enjoy complaining. Don't listen to people who portray LGA as their worst nightmare. It's an airport that needs a few updates, sure, but save yourself some money and fly into LGA. The airport works as it should.

Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
Seriously, it's the worst Airport in North America. You will legit think you are in a 3rd world country waiting for an exit visa from some Banana Republic in the 1960s.
AA lounge has good vegetarian chili, though.
I do it every week. It is what u can expect
🙄
It is convenient to many parts of the city. Delta’s terminals (C and D) are perfectly fine. The Central Terminal Building (B) is quite old and is being re-constructed. There’s lots of construction that makes transportation to and from annoying at times
Agree with IBM1 and OW1, it's an airport, navigation through it is simple enough. The only thing I would say could get confusing is if you have a rental car, you need a shuttle to the rental car shuttle and the signage isn't the most efficient if you haven't done it before. I recently started ORD to LGA for work and hadn't flown to LGA with construction stuff landed late and had to Google what to do. Other than that pretty straightforward. Give yourself time if you do get a rental just to drop off and get back to the airport.
It does its job
@k1 if visiting the city please don’t rent a car. It will be cheaper and easier to cab or take the subway (and with a family, would recommend cab from LGA to Manhattan)
My feelings about lga depend heavily on when you’d arrive. If you’re landing remotely close to rush hour expect the drive into Manhattan to be crazy long. Newark and jfk have (tolerable) public transit options that don’t involve sitting in traffic
@D2 I have to rent a car I'm not in the city just flying into LGA, I'm never the lucky one that gets big city projects
Ok so an airline pilot explained to me that NYC is one of the buseist airspaces in the world, to the point where they are virtually maxed out in terms of how close and closely times flights are. Because the airspace and schedules are so packed there is no room or error. The bad weather common in the area means sligt delays early in the day tend to snowball into massive delays by day end. This means all 3 NYC airports have some of the lowest on time %s in the country. You really don't have better odds at LGA than JFK, etc.
When I flew LGA weekly in 2010 and 2011 it was a true hellhole. Each security for United was literally 2 gates, so if you were delayed you had to go out of security to go to a bar or restaurant. And it's much better today than it used to be, OK restaurants and the food court I think is actually pretty good.
Ha ha, tx everyone
Had that same issue principal 1 and I was pissed off. I fly every week and it’s always something. Now I’ve been making it a priority to use the plane bathroom.
It’s an airport that works
I’d rather fly out of EWR or JFK any day but it still is an airport that works
+1 (except the JFK part), D3.
Two words - delta shuttle .. parking is right next to the terminal and no lines through security - it’s like a regional airport
