CHICAGO, May 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- This weekend United customers traveling through New York-LaGuardia Airport will experience new gates on the Terminal B Eastern Concourse, following the first phase of the $4 billion, 1.3-million-square-foot redevelopment project of Terminal B, operated by LaGuardia Gateway Partners. With soaring ceilings up to 55-feet high and plenty of natural light, customers will have thirteen new shops, restaurants and services in the concourse to visit; all inspired by the best of New York – from the iconic Shake Shack and local Irving Farm Coffee Roasters to an outpost of New York's famous toy store, FAO Schwarz.
"United customers depend on LaGuardia for frequent service to key business cities such as Chicago and Denver and the new Terminal B represents a huge improvement in the facilities we are able to provide, including a gorgeous new United Club," said Jill Kaplan, United's President of New York and New Jersey. "A world-class city like New York deserves a state-of-the-art airport – which is why we are absolutely thrilled to be moving our operations to the spectacular new Terminal B Eastern Concourse at LaGuardia Airport."
"The move of United and its passengers into the first new concourse at Terminal B marks another key milestone of the $8 billion redevelopment of an entirely new LaGuardia Airport," said Rick Cotton, Executive Director of the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey. "This is another important step in our ongoing commitment to provide world class facilities that turn Governor Cuomo's vision for a 21st century LaGuardia into reality. And we are undertaking this comprehensive rebuilding of LaGuardia Airport while continuing full operation at LaGuardia and serving record numbers of passengers."
The new concourse features ample gate seating, with charging stations throughout the seating area along with free unlimited high-speed Wi-Fi, offered by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. Additional features include a "park area" complete with greenery and benches, an airport themed children's play area which contains a 16-foot interactive display and restrooms with spacious stalls and above sink shelves that will keep belongings dry while washing hands.
As part of the terminal redevelopment, United will open its newest United Club on June 2. Conveniently located after security near United's gates, the new club offers a private oasis of 10,500 square feet with sweeping views of the tarmac. The Club, which is 30 percent larger than the prior LGA United Club location, combines the sleek styles of New York City with the modern touches travelers desire and features more than 200 seats. Customers can enjoy an expanded food menu including distinctly New York selections such as the iconic New York Bagel provider, Ess-a-Bagel, which will be paired with assorted cream cheese, jams and smokehouse salmon spread, a Greek salad bar and rotating hot foods including oven-baked Neapolitan ziti, fast-fired pesto and goat cheese flatbread, bite sized reuben corned beef with sauerkraut and more. Menu options will rotate throughout the day with hot and cold entrees available all-day. Additional amenities include complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi, wellness rooms and phone booths.

I flew out of Gate 47 this morning on UA4933. The new concourse is so much better than the old one but is pretty crowded. It's nice that there is a Shake Shack there. The new UA Club was fine and open to the concourse below. Sadly the food was not much better. They had egg salad at breakfast time which was new to me and not something I plan to eat at a UA Club before getting ERJ145. The employees seemed to be pumped up to have better working conditions. There appeared to be a lot of UA brass floating around. Again, much better than the old gates...

LGA is open. Signs were posted at the old UC/RCC location in Terminal C on Sunday pointing passengers to the new location. Sadly, I was on AA and couldn't check it out.

Visited the United Club today in the evening. The lounge is very spacious, tons of seating and lots of plugs. The food was consists of cookies, different kind of candies/pretzels, cheese cubes, salad, meat pasta and wild rice.

Now that United seems to have fully vacated the old C concourse for the new Terminal B East have they begun demolition of the C concourse? Trying to figure out the order in which those old concourses will be demolished as they build and activate the new Terminal B West.

Since I’m now here I can report that there is pre-check, using the checkpoint by the old B concourse. You then can take a long hallway to get to the new building. Reports of there not being pre-check yet must have been for the checkpoint closest to the new building.
Also happy to report a Coke Freestyle machine in the United Club. Breakfast selection was meager, same as usual (certainly no Ess-a-bagel and lox from the media opening)

I arrived in LGA on last night and was pleased to see the new terminal as I hurried through it to get to my destination. It was a late night arrival so the airport was kind of dead.
Does anyone know if UA *G can use the AC Maple Leaf lounge at LGA now? The AC and UA lounges are both next to each other upstairs. I believe (but have never tried) that AC lounges will let *G in per *A rules on a domestic ticket.
I fly out again tomrw morning so will try to enter and see if they'll let me in.
Thanks,
RM

Sorry to piggyback on this thread but I don't think my question demands a separate thread...
If flying LGA to ORD, is there any difference between taking a regular United flight or a United Express ?
Does either require a longer trek to another concourse, or is prone to delays?
Only thing I can find in favor of either is that in coach Express flights will have 2-2 instead of 3-3 in regular United 319s or 320s

I saw that you fly out of LGA again but to share with the broader group, I was able to access the MLL as a *G flying UA last week.
