Quick question on shuttle (LGA)
I know this is ridiculous, but..
I'm leaving LGA on the shuttle today and my BP says "Delta Terminal". On the map of LGA shown on the Delta website, "Delta Terminal" means the regular large terminal at the east end of the airport.
The "Marine Air Terminal" is not marked "Delta Terminal".
Has anything changed recently? Or is it still the Marine Air Terminal for the shuttle (and the map is just screwed up)?

I remember reading that DL was consolidating all of their flights (sooner or later) in the DL terminal. But the Port Authority Website still indicates the DL Shuttle leaving from the Marine Air Terminal.
Last time I took the shuttle (last August), the Marine Air Terminal gates were designated on the BP as "SH", so that might be a clue.

Marine Air Terminal is still used for all BOS, DCA and MDW flights.
This is/was planned to change with the US slot swap, but with this in limbo right now, there won't be any changes - the current Delta mainline terminal is incredibly full as it is - there's no way they could fit another 40 daily flights into that facility.

I flew MDW/LGA in January and it arrived at the Marine Air Terminal, so it was still in use as of January. It's a very cool old building! I could imagine flying back in that era! I realize this post doesn't really help you a whole lot, I just thought I'd add my 2 cents worth!

Be sure to stop and check out the old murals in the original terminal lobby if you have time. Most shuttle regulars just run right past them and on up to the gates, amd it's a shame.

Reviving this thread with a similar question to the OP:
Does anyone know if the shuttle has started operating out of anywhere other than the Marine Air Terminal? I'm flying DCA to LGA tomorrow and my BP shows terminal B. I can ask at check-in, but I'm hoping to give my ride a heads up.
Thanks!
