[edit] LGA – New York LaGuardia, NY, USA
Overview: LGA is a small, but busy airport, offering relatively quick access to and from many areas of Manhattan by taxi or car. AA operates from the Main, or Central Terminal, in Concourses C and D. Concourse C is used only for American Eagle flights and is shared with United Airlines, the main operator in this concourse. Concourse D is used exclusively for AA mainline and some American Eagle flights. AA operates frequent mainline flights between LGA and its hub cities, with 16 flights to/from ORD, 15 flights to/from DFW, and 10 flights to/from MIA on weekdays.

Security: There are separate security checkpoints for concourses C and D and the concourses are not connected airside. At concourse C, AA elites are able to use the premium security lane on the left, as of May 2008. Renovations to the concourse D security area were completed in July 2008, resulting in a widened screening area with a maze leading to five parallel lines; there is now a premium lane on the left listed for First Class, Executive Platinum, Platinum, and AAirpass. The project was also planned to involve construction of a bridge between concourses C and D to allow airside transfers without needing to reclear security, however, as of May 2008, many believe that this C-D connector will not be built.
Lounge: The Admirals Club is located in concourse D, just after security on the right. AA.com indicates that one can visit the club if departing from concourse C, although some report being turned away by boarding pass checkers. Also, since the concourses are not connected airside, it is inconvenient to visit the club if your flight does not depart from concourse D, as you will need to exit and reclear security at the concourse from which your flight departs.
If you do not have lounge access, you can often find a gate where a flight has just departed with an empty waiting area. There are sometimes a limited number of power outlets available along the wall. In Concourse C, there are charging stations in the gate waiting areas.
Luggage Storage: unknown.
Connection Information: Most connections at LGA are between mainline and American Eagle flights. Thus, keep in mind that you may need to reclear security at the other concourse during your connection.
Transportation: The M60 services Manhattan from the airport. The fare is currently $2.25. Dollar bills are not accepted. You may only use coins or MetroCard. If you pay with coins, you may request a transfer good for another bus, but not good for transfer to a subway. If you use a MetroCard, a free transfer to a bus or subway is already encoded onto your MetroCard. The M60 is convenient for Astoria, Harlem, and Columbia University. The M60 is not 24 hours.
The Q33 services LaGuardia 24 hours a day. It provides a connection to 24 hour subway service in Queens.
