LGA Term B gate D9F thoughts.

While I personally enjoy being on the tarmac (wx pending), it can be a hassle for others. Had a gentlemen with mobility/handicap issues with a walker. He was the last to deplane. AA employees and copilot helped him onto shuttle bus.

Then back to D9F, he had to make it up the stairs as there was no elevator. That held up the whole line of people (figure about a dozen as this was the 2nd shuttle bus) going up the stairs as he went slowly. While this helped delay the time I would have to wait to get to baggage claim, it only added 3 minutes. But I can see if others had connecting flights, how it would be a hassle.

That being said, I liked the quiet secluded environment that D9F offers...
