LGA Madhouse

LGA is crazy today...stay away!

Side note: the new SC is nice, but don't even attempt to find a seat. Looked worse than the terminal, in my mind.

Thumbs down DELTA DELTA DELTA....ugh

So...on a side note: I'm sitting in 4B on this flight. I had a First Confirmed Seat Request Card. On the website, it shows 4B First. I took a screen shot of it.

GUESS WHAT??? 4B is a Coach Middle Seat! This hasn't happened in a LONG time. Not Cool.

The 319's only have 3 rows of F now. Delta did not change the first row of Y to 10 on the NW planes.

The seat maps I've seen show row 4 as Y. I am not sure why it did not for you.

I would have suspected a/c swap, but this was scheduled as a 319. I wonder if temporarily a 320 or M88 was swapped in, but then swapped back to the 319, but that allowed the row 4 seat assignment in F to be made? That's a killer...I'm not a proponent of sending complaints off to DL just to get more miles, but I think I'd send a note on this one.

I agree on holding back the complaints, but I did inform @DeltaAssist of the situation. Sent them the picture too. They apologized and saw the error on my itinerary. No one knows why I'd show first class, when know one else does.... Delta IT/shena!

So far I have been happy since I switched to DL but the LGA terminal is a pit and the club is like a bus station.

I remember 10-20 yrs ago when the DL/NW terminal was the "jewel" of LGA. Agree, hate it now.

Experienced the Delta terminal at LGA for the first time this week. Only real complaint was the security line being very slow (2:30 pm, Tuesday afternoon). Had only one person checking in all the non-premiums and 2 scanners open. Seemed understaffed to me.

But compared to the AA terminal, it has better food options on the air side. Seating at the gates was about the same.

I'll be heading there again next week, will see what it's like late afternoon/early evening.
