"No airport is immune to disasters" *laughing in Berlin Brandenburg Airport... The secret is building the airport but not opening it for nearly 10 years
More "New-erk" with hardly a hesitation between the 2 syllables than single syllable "Nork". And yes, Newark, DE is pronounced "New Ark", but no one would know or care except the University of Delaware is located in Newark, DE.
Note that LaGuardia does not have a U.S. Customs and Border Protection facility. They only have international fights from foreign airports with preclearance facilities.
False. LGA has a small CBP office and offers screenings to GA aircraft. They do not have a facility in terminals, and thus are not available to scheduled flights.
@afcgeo I didn't know that they had that on Saturdays. I've thought that in general, going at least as far back as the 1970s, LGA is mostly domesric US flights and JFK is mostly international flights, but has a small amount of domestic too. But most domestic is out of LGA, it's why most people coming from elsewhere in the US fly to LGA unless they're stopping over to make an international connection. Many other cities have a good mixture of domestic and international at their main airport, such as Chicago O'Hare or LAX. But New York and Washington DC are the two cities which have one mainly domestic and then one mainly international airport, DC's being Reagon National and Dulles
Here's a great story about JFK. A few years ago my wife was traveling home via JFK on American and left her laptop back in the ladies restroom. She didn't notice until she was almost on the plane and rushed back to find it gone. As her flight was leaving she had no choice but to head home without it. That evening I called American Airline security at Terminal one and not only did they answer the phone immediately but they managed to find her lost bag and were extremely helpful in getting it back to us. They were fantastic and I wish every airport had people like the wonderful ones at American at JFK!
Unfortunately, that is the only time I have ever heard American be helpful towards their customers. I'm sure there are plenty of great people working there tho!
@@scottydude456 Frankly I've had few customer support issues ever that have been dealt with so quickly and politely. It wasn't just a good experience but a great one. I should also thank the unknown person who turned the bag in as well.
I arrived at JFK from a flight from California and mistakenly left my Bose headphones in the seatback pouch. I realized this once I reached baggage claim. I was told the cabin crew went to look for them but no luck. Hmm....
@@brmnyc The cleaners could have already removed them. Usually the cleaning crew goes in almost immediately after the passengers depart. Or they could have been missed and not found until a few flights down the line.
EWR is usually the more accessible airport to people living outside NYC because you don’t have to cross the Verazano and go down the jam-packed Belt Pkwy. However, whether it’s worth going to EWR or JFK depends on the price and availability of flights, so both airports are equally as busy.
@@azan-183 I live in DC! I have to admit I have lots of hate for Iad/Dca as DCA traffic it insane luckily there renovation is going to be done around july while Dulles has barely any shops for anyone dropping people off..
Two things of note about Newark: They were also the departure airport for United Airlines Flight 93 on September 11th. This is the flight that crashed in Pennsylvania and although only 44 people died, it is probably a more notable tragedy. On a lighter note, Newark is also a much larger base for non-NYC travel. No one who lives outside of the five boroughs or is just visiting NYC would ever use either of those airports willingly because NYC traffic is a nightmare.
Loving the short airport documentaries. I know it is not specifically about the airports themselves, the complicated ATC coordination of the 3 NYC airports is very interesting.
Interesting that in the conclusion of this video you mentioned the Steinway family's connection with the land that eventually became LaGuardia Airport. The Steinway piano factory is still to this day located just a few blocks west of the field, not far from the end of Runway 4.
Great video! Could you do one about Chicago's Interstates? I'm a highway enthusiast and would love to learn about the local freeways and what purposes each one serves
The November 12, 2001 crash was so close to the 9/11 attacks that to this day some locals believe it was a terrorist attack. Great video by the way, I'm glad I found this channel. I have a video recommendation: Boston College vs Boston University (and Northeastern is also very comparable to those two)
@@kyb3709 Per the NTSB report, the blame lay not with the FO, but with AA, which trained its pilots to use (overly) aggressive rudder inputs to counteract wake turbulence on the A300. I think they also placed a bit of blame on Airbus for leaving too much to the airlines vis-à-vis training on the type, but I may be misremembering that.
Don’t forget that Newark was also part of the 9/11 attacks with one united airlines flight that never made it to it destination and La Guardia also had US airways flight 1549 that miraculously everyone survived and landed at the Hudson River
@@quanbrooklynkid7776 They got a lot of startup funding and tax breaks to setup a hub at JFK because for domestic flights, people favored LGA (for some reason) and JFK was only being used for long haul (West Coast) and International, so the state encouraged a LCC startup to create a hub at JFK so people would start using it more (this was before a lot of the Terminal renovation at the AA and DL terminals, the airport was suffering from a 1960s design, jetBlue used the old TWA terminal and the old IM Pei National Airline terminal before they created Terminal 5 around the old TWA shell). Also, part of the tax deal was that jetBlue had to have jet flights to Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and Albany to connect to the JFK hub to restore lost her service over the years. I also think they included Burlington, VT in that so that people from Plattsburgh, NY could use it.
It’s weird how he didn’t mention TWA 800, which exploded after takeoff from JFK in July of 1996, heading to Paris. As a 10-year-old, I remember seeing TV footage of that when it happened.
TWA 800 (and also the EgyptAir 767) crashed much farther away from the airport than the flights mentioned at the end of the video. For whatever reasons, they are not usually associated with the airport itself.
@@johannesbols57 Only close in terms of time, at jet speeds (or at least at 250 knots most of the way). TWA 800 was well into its' enroute climb, and that portion of a flight is not usually associated with the airport, nor did the airport have anything to do with the crash. The area where it went down was nearly 70 miles from JFK.
JFK has a number of notable incident besides TWA 800 and EgyptAir 990, their was also Swiss Air flight SR 111 in 1998 which is an MD 11 that suffered an in-flight fire which nose dive on Peggy’s Cove, Nova Scotia with the lost of 229 passengers and crew, is another infamous flight that departed from JFK. Their are also arrivals like the 1960 New York Mid-air collision between a United DC-8 inbound to Idelwild Airport (JFK name at the time) and a TWA Lockheed Super Constellation bound for LaGuardia with 134 fatalities from both collisions and 6 on the ground, another is Eastern Airlines flight 66 in 1975 a Boeing 727 which crash on approach to runway 22 due to Microburst with 113 fatalitie and 11 survivors, which was investigated by the NTSB and Meteorologists most notably Ted Fujita which crated the F scale for tornado rating and help raise the awareness of Microburst and its dangers to low flying planes. The last crash I know of was and Avianca flight 52 a Boeing 707-321B the crash at Cove Neck, Long Island which after suffering a fuel starvation after doing a missed approach to JFK with 73 fatalities and 85 survivors from both crew and passengers in 1990.
I’m a native New Yorker who resides in the garden state I despise going to the big Apple , when there’s an airport right here basically in my backyard‼️🤷🏽♂️
LaGuardia is a newly recent renovated airport and now looks very modern. Terminal b and c look very modern. I think LaGuardia is the best out of those three.
The new renovation of the new terminals are a success, but the flights are still regional. If I were in NYC, I'd rather use LGA for domestic and nearby internatio al flights. As for long distance, JFK and EWR are both world class, but JFK is my best pick. Lastly, I can't pick Newark, even though they already made tbe new Terminal A that replaces the old one which is a nice change for EWR.
I'm surprised that I didn't hear any mention of LaGuardia's days as a marine terminal for Pan Am's flying boats of the 1930's. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_314_Clipper
Having been to all 3, I can appreciate how clean and modern EWR is. Every seat has a little touchscreen for games, internet, and ordering food.... all for a cost. But for such a massive airport, food options are terrible. When you walk through the terminal, you see..bar...bar...liquor store...bar...liquor store...bar...bar, hudson. I walked around for an hour and could not find something as simple as a coffee, not to mention anything resembling fast food (ie pizza, chinese, burgers, etc). Its too bad, because EWR has the most pleasant, and simple trip into NYC. But when I have a layover for anything more then 2 hours, I'll leave and to get something to eat
1:23 You forgot something more about accessing to the airports. US 1-9 have an interchange connecting to all 3 terminals of EWR. The Belt Pkwy passes by JFK.
@@AlvinSeville1 😂😂 No, I have seen connecting flights and I wonder if they use a CRJ or like an older Dash-8. I went from LGA to PHL quite a few years ago and I was on a Dash-8. Last time I went from ISP-BOS it was a Dash-8.
Back in the 2000s my parents went on a flight to Santiago de Los Caballeros (also in the Dominican Republic) and the American Airlines plane was struggling to go up because of the weight of luggage, I’m so glad they didn’t crash!
As a Newark native, most people don't realize that its easier to get to the city from Newark because the Belt and the Van Wyck are parking lots. A much smaller parking lot would be one of the tunnels or the GWB. Or if you're rich, just go to Teterboro and avoid the madness altogether.🤦🏾♂️🤣
La Guardia was once regarded as the Spirit airlines of airports. I've used it for 5 consecutive years and OMG what a fucking nightmare. At least it's upgraded now.
The first commercial airport in NYC was, in fact, Floyd Bennet Field, not LaGuardia. It was opened to commercial traffic on May 23, 1931. American Airlines operated out of Floyd Bennett until LGA was built in 1939.
Hizzoner Fiorello himself pulled the stunt that led to the development of LGA. He was traveling to "New York" (using, of course, Newark airport), and when he arrived he refused to deplane, declaring that his ticket read "New York". This was factually true, since the airlines considered EWR to be the airport for NY (which it was). But hizzoner had already alerted the press ahead of time, and the airline ( I think it was TWA) decided to fly him over to Floyd Bennet, which at that time was actually a military field in Brooklyn. This stunt got the publicity ball rolling and the rest is history!
@@anthonyvallillo422 You’re partially correct. This happened in 1934 and he ended up flying into Floyd Bennett after Newark, but Floyd Bennett was a municipal airport at the time. It only became a Naval Air Station on June 2, 1941.
If you're going to/from Manhattan, Newark is by far the most convenient. You can be from terminal to Penn Station in 45 minutes or less if you time it right. Newark is also most convenient for upstate NY and Connecticut as you can bypass NYC altogether. JFK is more convenient for Brooklyn and outer Long Island. LGA is most convenient for Queens and the Bronx.
I'd love to see an update now that LGA's update is just about finished and JFK's is well underway. I wonder how the new facilities will compare to each other as well as nationally and worldwide.
I flew from LaGuardia to Melbourne Florida via a stop in Atlanta. LaGuardia was very kind... especially for those who came in early. For the eary travel people (Like me Received blankets from Delta)... To get warm and comfy.
I don't know how LaGuardia got the 'first new U.S. airport in 25 years' statistic, but it is entirely not true. They are claiming that they are the first new airport in the united states since Denver International airport opened in the 90s, which is untrue for three reasons a. The new LaGuardia is not entirely new, it is just a rebuilt terminal, using existing runways and terminal A is staying As is. Whereas Denver was built from scratch where there was no airport before. b. If that is the definition of 'New airport' then The completely new terminal at New Orleans's airport, which opened last year, would be the airport LaGuardia would be the first new airport since. c. Even if LaGuardia was being built from scratch, the Last one was not Denver. In 2009, Panama City, FL opened a new airport where there was none before, and likewise in 2015, in Williston, North Dakota.
@Ron D Panama city, FL opened a completely new airport in 2010, and Williston, ND, did similarly in 2019. Auston Bergrstrom was also not completely new, because it was on the site of a former Air Force Base.
@Ron D An airport is any place to operate airplanes. Any AFB that has runways is an airport, by any definition. A Military airport, to be sure, and perhaps not available to non military airplanes except in emergencies, but an airport nonetheless. Commercial service has nothing to do with whether a site is or is not an airport. If the former Bergstrom AFB was demilitarized and became a commercial airport, that does not make it a NEW airport, except in the sense of new service. The infrastructure was already there, for the most part. At best, it would be in the category of the new LGA - ie, a new terminal.
JFK is the world’s 20th busiest by passenger movement, but the busiest in the world by aircraft movements. LGA is the 21st busiest in the United States.
3:00 LGA is a disaster! Too many traffic jams to make it to your flight. I avoid it like the plague. Best is Newark. Unless you live in Queens or Long Island, Newark is the easiest airport to get to.
An amusing fun fact, JFK is home to the worlds single busisiest flight path, JFK-HEA. It’s why the Concordes were based out of JFK, it’s a business heavy well trafficked flight
@@peterquennellnyc It mattered to me coming from Canada with preclearance. When I was looking to take a big trip with a New York connection, the incoming flight came through LGA, but the outgoing was through JFK. I chose to connect through Paris instead because I was afraid of the airport change. I imagine there a number of small airports that don't have flights to JFK, so they would have the same problem.
@@smallmj2886 Good point. The LIE and the southern beltway usually move quite briskly but the Van Wyck is a chokepoint. There was talk of making it 2-tier. I used to take the helicopters back and forth when in the UN but after 911 and some accidents there are very few now.
How tf is it Paris wtf, there r like 1000 United widebodies at Heathrow but like I’ve only seen like 2-3 at Paris. That’s so cursed. The only American Airline I’ve seen with many flights in Paris is delta cuz sky team.
A A I’m assuming that Paris used to be the most popular destination as Continental was the big airline at Newark for a while. Continental was in Skyteam until 2008 when the Delta Northwest merger happened. After the 2 merged Continental switched to Star Alliance and merged with United 2 years later. Continental did fly quite a few routes to Paris as it had a partnership with AirFrance until it left Skyteam in 2008. Before their were alliances airlines in the US usually had a partnership with a European airline. United and Lufthansa, Northwest and KLM, Continental and AirFrance, American and British Airways are some examples.
Flying out of LaGuardia I looked down & was directly over home plate at old Shea stadium.Before 9/11 I was coming back from the coast & we were at the exact height as the trade ctrs & close enough you could see the people in that restaurant.
So, why does Salt Lake City International not count as the "first new major airport in the United States in more than 25 years?" Both LaGuardia and SLC completely rebuilt their entire passenger terminals. And both rebuilds were heavily funded by Delta Air Lines. So if these projects are the same in scope, why isn't SLC first if it opened n 2020?
Actually, the first completely new airport in the USA since DFW is the new KDEN. Everything else since DFW is merely an expansion or a rebuild, usually of only the terminals (albeit the terminals are all that most passengers see). As far as LGA is concerned, many pilots would like to see the runway system completely rebuilt, although this is pure wishful thinking - it can never happen.

@@JimAllen-Persona There are NO scheduled flights between JFK and EWR.
Back in the 2000s my parents went on a flight to Santiago de Los Caballeros (also in the Dominican Republic) and the American Airlines plane was struggling to go up because of the weight of luggage, I’m so glad they didn’t crash!
No, dear. Just no.
People in D.R. ...carry too many 🧳filled with🍌overloading plane🤷♂️😄
As someone who lives west of the Hudson I prefer Newark because those bridges aren't cheap to cross!
Nice! I just drove by Newark
Sweet!
They could have tried to meander for a water landing for better survival rates. The water was so close!
As a Newark native, most people don't realize that its easier to get to the city from Newark because the Belt and the Van Wyck are parking lots. A much smaller parking lot would be one of the tunnels or the GWB. Or if you're rich, just go to Teterboro and avoid the madness altogether.🤦🏾♂️🤣
La Guardia was once regarded as the Spirit airlines of airports. I've used it for 5 consecutive years and OMG what a fucking nightmare. At least it's upgraded now.
Please do the DC area airpots: IAD, DCA and BWI
The first commercial airport in NYC was, in fact, Floyd Bennet Field, not LaGuardia. It was opened to commercial traffic on May 23, 1931. American Airlines operated out of Floyd Bennett until LGA was built in 1939.
Hizzoner Fiorello himself pulled the stunt that led to the development of LGA. He was traveling to "New York" (using, of course, Newark airport), and when he arrived he refused to deplane, declaring that his ticket read "New York". This was factually true, since the airlines considered EWR to be the airport for NY (which it was). But hizzoner had already alerted the press ahead of time, and the airline ( I think it was TWA) decided to fly him over to Floyd Bennet, which at that time was actually a military field in Brooklyn. This stunt got the publicity ball rolling and the rest is history!
@@anthonyvallillo422 You’re partially correct. This happened in 1934 and he ended up flying into Floyd Bennett after Newark, but Floyd Bennett was a municipal airport at the time. It only became a Naval Air Station on June 2, 1941.
@@Machia52612 Newark isn’t in NYC.
If you're going to/from Manhattan, Newark is by far the most convenient. You can be from terminal to Penn Station in 45 minutes or less if you time it right. Newark is also most convenient for upstate NY and Connecticut as you can bypass NYC altogether. JFK is more convenient for Brooklyn and outer Long Island. LGA is most convenient for Queens and the Bronx.
I'd love to see an update now that LGA's update is just about finished and JFK's is well underway. I wonder how the new facilities will compare to each other as well as nationally and worldwide.
I flew from LaGuardia to Melbourne Florida via a stop in Atlanta.
LaGuardia was very kind... especially for those who came in early. For the eary travel people (Like me Received blankets from Delta)... To get warm and comfy.
I don't know how LaGuardia got the 'first new U.S. airport in 25 years' statistic, but it is entirely not true. They are claiming that they are the first new airport in the united states since Denver International airport opened in the 90s, which is untrue for three reasons
a. The new LaGuardia is not entirely new, it is just a rebuilt terminal, using existing runways and terminal A is staying As is. Whereas Denver was built from scratch where there was no airport before.
b. If that is the definition of 'New airport' then The completely new terminal at New Orleans's airport, which opened last year, would be the airport LaGuardia would be the first new airport since.
c. Even if LaGuardia was being built from scratch, the Last one was not Denver. In 2009, Panama City, FL opened a new airport where there was none before, and likewise in 2015, in Williston, North Dakota.
@Ron D Panama city, FL opened a completely new airport in 2010, and Williston, ND, did similarly in 2019. Auston Bergrstrom was also not completely new, because it was on the site of a former Air Force Base.
@Ron D You don't need commercial air service to constitute an airport. By the FAA's Definition, Bergstrom Air Force Base was, in fact, an airport.
@Ron D An airport is any place to operate airplanes. Any AFB that has runways is an airport, by any definition. A Military airport, to be sure, and perhaps not available to non military airplanes except in emergencies, but an airport nonetheless. Commercial service has nothing to do with whether a site is or is not an airport. If the former Bergstrom AFB was demilitarized and became a commercial airport, that does not make it a NEW airport, except in the sense of new service. The infrastructure was already there, for the most part. At best, it would be in the category of the new LGA - ie, a new terminal.
the LGA reconstruction is a challenge.
3:26 - "The exception is flights to Denver and [what?]."
Saturday flights
@@savagecabbageboi6491 - Thanks.
I’m surprised that they didn’t mention Miracle on the Hudson!
Newark. Delays for no apparent reason.
JFK. 3 hour away, if you are lucky
LaGuardia. Traffic traffic traffic
JetBlue's hub is also at Kennedy.
6:35 Love Field Airport in Dallas, TX is the finest airport in the country.
Can you really trust a Chicago Geographer to give info about NYC?
💀
I did not know I needed this video in my life
Flying today just isn't what it used to be... how sad
Wait LaGuardia is 21st busiest in world and JFK is 20th busiest but with twice the passenger volume. Something does not sound right.
JFK is the world’s 20th busiest by passenger movement, but the busiest in the world by aircraft movements. LGA is the 21st busiest in the United States.
RIP Islip
you forgot long island MacArthur airport, Stewart international airport, Trenton-Mercer Airport, and Westchester County Airport in this video.
Fun fact did you know I’m in love with you
Newark is in New Jersey
lots of great facts. try london heathrow-london gatwick
Do MIA and FLL! The Miami-Metro area
Directly Adjacent to JFK Is the USPS International Mail Processing center. It if has a Customs Form, it goes through JFK.
Pilots call LaGuardia ‘La Garbage’, not La Aircraft carrier
I loved that video. I'd like to know what is the most important routs in Newark airport? Tks
3:00 LGA is a disaster! Too many traffic jams to make it to your flight. I avoid it like the plague. Best is Newark. Unless you live in Queens or Long Island, Newark is the easiest airport to get to.
IDLEWILD, baby!!!!!
Usually cities around the world got just on1 airport .. imagine if NY put all three together
An amusing fun fact, JFK is home to the worlds single busisiest flight path, JFK-HEA. It’s why the Concordes were based out of JFK, it’s a business heavy well trafficked flight
I live only about 5 minutes from jfk and I learned alot from this video
The multiple airports make connecting in New York for an international flight pretty difficult.
While you are technically right, theres not much of this as the 2 internat airports are also domestic.
@@peterquennellnyc It mattered to me coming from Canada with preclearance. When I was looking to take a big trip with a New York connection, the incoming flight came through LGA, but the outgoing was through JFK. I chose to connect through Paris instead because I was afraid of the airport change. I imagine there a number of small airports that don't have flights to JFK, so they would have the same problem.
@@smallmj2886 Good point. The LIE and the southern beltway usually move quite briskly but the Van Wyck is a chokepoint. There was talk of making it 2-tier. I used to take the helicopters back and forth when in the UN but after 911 and some accidents there are very few now.
Could you do PHL Vs ACY?
you should do a chicago vs new york video
Do a video on DIA
You should do SFO, OAK, SJC. Also LAX, SNA, LGB, BUR, ONT.
I was hoping for more technical content.
Jfk is also a main hub of JetBlue
You should do Oakland vs SF vs San Jose aka the bay area airports
You should do DTW, DFW, IAH, and ORD
You should try SFO-OAK-SJC
No talk about Long Island Airport?
Great view
Paris is the biggest international destination from Newark. Wow I thought it was London
That's funny because we only have 2 flights to Paris and about 5 to London he sure lol
How tf is it Paris wtf, there r like 1000 United widebodies at Heathrow but like I’ve only seen like 2-3 at Paris. That’s so cursed. The only American Airline I’ve seen with many flights in Paris is delta cuz sky team.
A A United flys a lot of flights to London and Frankfurt. Also AirFrance doesn’t fly to Newark
@@TysonIke problably invisible planes
A A I’m assuming that Paris used to be the most popular destination as Continental was the big airline at Newark for a while. Continental was in Skyteam until 2008 when the Delta Northwest merger happened. After the 2 merged Continental switched to Star Alliance and merged with United 2 years later. Continental did fly quite a few routes to Paris as it had a partnership with AirFrance until it left Skyteam in 2008. Before their were alliances airlines in the US usually had a partnership with a European airline. United and Lufthansa, Northwest and KLM, Continental and AirFrance, American and British Airways are some examples.
Can you do an Iowan one? (DSM vs SUX vs CID)
I live minutes from EWR….no need to fly out of anywhere else 🤷🏽♂️
good
I went to LaGuardia my first time on 2015 summer.
Flying out of LaGuardia I looked down & was directly over home plate at old Shea stadium.Before 9/11 I was coming back from the coast & we were at the exact height as the trade ctrs & close enough you could see the people in that restaurant.
Another Fun Fact: One of JFK's runways could accommodate NASA's space shuttles if they needed to make an emergency landing.
That’s runway 13/31. I believe it’s 13,000 feet in length.
So, why does Salt Lake City International not count as the "first new major airport in the United States in more than 25 years?" Both LaGuardia and SLC completely rebuilt their entire passenger terminals. And both rebuilds were heavily funded by Delta Air Lines. So if these projects are the same in scope, why isn't SLC first if it opened n 2020?
Actually, the first completely new airport in the USA since DFW is the new KDEN. Everything else since DFW is merely an expansion or a rebuild, usually of only the terminals (albeit the terminals are all that most passengers see). As far as LGA is concerned, many pilots would like to see the runway system completely rebuilt, although this is pure wishful thinking - it can never happen.
Nice video could you do the Bay Area supports next
San Jose SJC
San Francisco SFO
Oakland OAK
JFK: Steve
LaGuardia: Cptn. Sully saves the day!
Newark: Worst airport in the world according to Sam from Wendover.
You can fly to Toronto and Montreal from LaGuardia.
No you can’t It’s impossible to fly there
Post pandemic, Newark is the busiest by far, not JFK
Can you do ATL?
Except Newark isn't in NY
Can you do the London airports and the LA airports?
Some information is not accurate!! Jfk has 8 terminals .. not 6 as you said
I though LaGuardia was a very small and ugly airport when I traveled last year
You forgot JetBlue hub at jet blue
Imagine living in a city that needs three airports. The town I grew up in had less then 500 people.
And there’s more than just those 3
I can't imagine living in such a small town.
@@shaddythewiz3836 I can tell you this much it wasn't by choice, I'm happy I moved away.
There’s like 6 lol
Fee airspace is insane. And even then there is Philadelphia airport, DCA and KIAD AND BOS and BWI which aren’t too far away
Why does LGA have 4 terminals? Seems a bit much
