For what it's worth, when arriving in Terminal B (which I try to avoid as much as possible by flying into HPN or JFK) I have my car meet me at the National Car rental location. It's about a 7 minute walk from the terminal to meeting point. Better in the summer than the winter...but beats getting on a shuttle bus to meet a black top car.

Before Thanksgiving the buses just casually decided to stop operating and dump people along 94th street:

OK, LGA is bad but they are trying. The traffic situation is a mess and Terminal B is less than ideal. However, parts of LGA have been improved (thanks Delta) and no longer deserve 3rd world status. That said, most of my AA flights were out of Terminal C but now I will be dealing with Terminal B. This definitely is a downgrade!
Looking ahead I'm going to move as much of my AA travel to HPN or JFK.

The change has begun. The pmUS planes that will spend the night at LGA tonight are arriving into Terminal B instead of Terminal C. This is causing a little bit of a domino effect as some pmUS flights are arriving D so some pmAA flights are arriving at other piers in B.
As examples: A CLT flight arrived at D4. The last ORD flight of the night will arrive C6 (I've never seen an ORD flight outside of D before). The last DCA shuttle flight to arrive will use B6, and BNA will arrive at A5.
I also notice that an XNA flight arrived D2 at 9:30pm while a GSO flight arrived D2B at 9:14pm. Has AA split D2 into two gates now? (or maybe it's been that way?)

I wonder if they're going to have dedicated shuttle gates the way they did in C / try to make the experience less painful. Guess we won't know until we get back to a full schedule Monday.

I wouldn't have thought it possible, but the overheated and amenityfree little shack that is gate D9 at LGA terminal B is even nastier than the late lamented "Amelia Earhart" shack was at BOS.
I hope they retire this nasty excuse for a waiting area. If not it might even convince me to fly on DL from JFK T2. At least that has some shops and bathrooms.

Speaking of LGA, it looks like on Dec 15 DFW-LGA flights that normally leave out of DFW Terminal A are switching to Terminal C
I was trying to figure out which terminal my Dec 15 flight leaves out of and earlier in the week it is A, but later it is C
Additionally, the flight numbers seem to change on Dec 15. The 6:40 PM flight DFW-LGA changes from 276 to 398

It's been a while, but one of the early PANYNJ presentations on the CTB rebuild had some interior design/layout drawings, including plans for the placement of the lounges in the new terminal. If I remember correctly, the plan was (is?) for the new terminal to have two lounges, one large one on the eastern side by the bridge to the east concourse (presumably a United/Air Canada club) and then one even larger one on the western side by the bridge to the west concourse (presumably the Admirals Club).

Looks like AA has opened up a "Guest Services Center" for Admirals Club members in Concourse C. Anyone seen it yet? I'm curious what the "refreshments" are on offer. I saw a recent pic of the temp Guest Services Center in DFW Terminal A and was surprised that the grab and go items actually looked better than what's usually on offer in the ACs.

Flying to ATL from LGA on Saturday - I'll see if I can do a good exploration of the offerings beforehand.
