LGA AC Wing WIFI?
Folks
Does anyone recall if the AC wing of LGA has wifi post security? I don't have time or trust the MLL and getting past security in a timely fashion and I don't have my hotspot on me.

I think there's a Boingo network that pops up but I've never been able to connect to it.
I'd create a hotspot from my phone if I really needed it in there, although I find cell service can be a bit patchy as well.
Don't forget Joe Biden said it's like a third-world country there with good reason...

Boingo network there sucks. Too bad LGA doesn't have free wifi. I usually use a Mifi hotspot if I really need it.
I'll check for you to see if anything has changed tomorrow when I travel through there in the morning but i highly doubt it.

If you're *G, go to the UC instead which has reliable wifi. They also have screens in the lounge that monitor the security lines so you can act accordingly and not stress.

OP, what time are you travelling through LGA?
When you checkin - you should also just double check and see whether the TSA-PRE line is open.....which seems rare there nowadays. Of course this is assuming you have TSA-pre

The answer to that question is definitely not to go to the UC.

Going to the UC would be a potential solution to that.
Given using the internet airside is "spending time" to do so. So the time allocation to do so airside vs landslide given need to use wifi, is the option I proposed.
Having been to lga many times if one wants to access free, reliable wifi before boarding while not being stressed out about security lines, the UC is your best option.
