New Admirals Club @ LGA!
 

This is so long overdue. However the article both says it will be complete in Spring 2022, but also mentions it will open Thursday (today). I'm passing through LGA next week, so I'm interested if anyone provides their experience with the new club (if it's actually open)

I wonder when they will demolish the d gates

I will say the whiskey collection is quite impressive. That said, I've been through LGA a handful of times recently and have not seen any physical evidence of a lounge that would be ready to open today. Of course I'm also not aimlessly walking around this airport, and could easily have missed it.

I think I speak for all of FT to share photos with us when passing through the new lounge. (THAT'S A DEMAND! :D:p)

I will be there on 12/25 and will do my best to comply with this DEMAND. :cool:

Oh I just flew into the LGA B gates and walked past a sign for the Admirals Club. Long day and didn't think anything of it. Guess I should've gone up the escalator and checked it out!

Curious if they moved the whiskey collection over to the new location? That was a piece of history at the old LGA AC - which I believe was the world’s first airline club when it opened in the 1930s.

From the article above:
"Liquor laws back in 1939 didn’t allow American to sell liquor, so the airline’s president at the time, C.R. Smith, kept a private whiskey collection at the club. That collection is still around, and it will move to the new club when it opens."

I guess for all the times I've used the AC at LGA I hadn't noticed or paid attention to the whiskey collection...

from what I am hearing.. they dont have the necessary permits to serve alcohol yet... .. maybe something AA should have
planned ahead..

Maybe but I wouldn't be so sure there isn't some local bureaucracy at play also that caused a problem.

I arrived at the club around 915 this evening for my 10PM to DC. I was the only customer in the club for my 10 minute stay. Everything was already cleaned up but the staff proactively offered food, went in the back and got it for me, and opened up a fresh bottle of wine for a drink. The service was so courteous, the opposite of what I was expecting arriving just before close.

I didn’t have much time but the lounge is open to the concourse below and seems like it will have a lot of natural light when the sun is up. Pictures below.

The seating looks nice..I hope they put in phone booths like they had at the old location, I found those very useful.
