Hey guys, many people are telling us about the pronounciation mistake of LaGuardia in this video, it was a tiny mistake, which i understand might be bugging some people, i am extremely sorry for that, but i hope you guys will understand and judge the video on the basis of information, because it takes a lot of effort to make videos like this.
LaGuardia opened in December 1939 not 1929.
@@edwardstarkman1250 it was built first as a private airport in 1929 and was converted to commercial in 1939...
The one that stuck out to me was your pronunciation of "Teterboro" which should be pronounced with a long E like in "tee".
@@YHDiamond Yes, Glenn Curtiss and North Beach predated LaGuardia. That does not negate the fact that LaGuardia opened on December 2, 1939. In fact, it opened as New York Municipal Airport in 1939 and was not officially named LaGuardia Airport until 1947.
This literally makes the video unwatchable
I've used Terminal 5 at JFK twice for JetBlue flights to Las Vegas and San Juan and can confirm that it is the best terminal there. And it got even better with the addition of the TWA Hotel. The TWA Flight Center next to Terminal 5 was thankfully spared from demolition unlike Pan Am's Worldport, and instead of just sitting there, the historic head house designed by Eero Saarinen (who also designed Dulles outside DC and St Louis' famous Gateway Arch) was incorporated into a new hotel. The only hotel within JFK's boundaries, and it's an aviation geek's paradise with a cocktail lounge inside a freakin' Lockheed L-1649 Starliner from the late 50s (the last of the Lockheed Constellation lineup), the preserved retro look of the head house full of TWA nostalgia, as well as a rooftop pool bar with incredible views of takeoffs and landings. I know people don't like it when historic places change, but this was a change done right.
as a aviation enthusiast I really hope to stay there one day
Found you again Primo!
Twice in the last 6 months I had overnight layovers at JFK with literally no place to go. All the nearby hotels were sold out and I couldn't even wait in any of the terminals. The TWA lobby saved me. There was food, clean restrooms, and outlets for charging. The music was like a drug and the clicking of the boards lulled me to sleep. I didn't even need a room.
2 international and 1 major domestic. LaGuardia doesn’t have customs and immigration facilities and therefore cannot be legally considered international although it can *exceptionally* receive pre-cleared flights from Canada and the Caribbean.
Thanks for the info👍
Stewart has international flights so it’s 3 and 4
Don't forget Ireland as well. They also have pre clearance
@@MicheyJoe Well, in this context LaGuardia has a perimeter rule which prohibits it from receiving flights coming from further than X far away anyways (I believe something like Missouri is the furthest it can do), so although yes, Ireland and UAE both have pre-clearance facilities, but they are out of LaGuardia’s “perimeter”, so it doesn’t make any difference anyways.
1:58 - - the 3 airports make up the largest airport system in the world; 12,000 flights per week.
3:02 - - in 2019 140 million passengers traveled through the 3 airports (JFK, LGA, EWR).
4:42 - - several smaller commercial airports: MacArthur, Stewart International, Westchester;
4:49 - - general aviation airports: Republic + Teterboro airports
It's much akin to London (UK) , where Heathrow is the main aviation hub, while the other 5 airports are to supplement air traffic volumes.
I would have agreed but city is the only one that stands out in my mind that doesn’t supplement Heathrow? It’s a bit own it own in what it does doesn’t it?
Not entirely since EWR is a United hub which doesn’t fly (or barely flies) to JFK. Meanwhile AA and Delta have hubs at JFK but not EWR.
1:33 Regarding Dubai, you showed Dubai International which isn't new. The airport has been on that site since 1960, and it received its first big jets in 1965. They only expanded what was on that site. The new airport they built that you're thinking of is Al Maktoum International which opened in 2010 in Jebel Ali.
1:57 JFK has a far bigger flight map than this, this is completely missing South America, Eastern Europe, China, Korea, Southeast Asia, and Africa which you can take flights from JFK to.
All hail to the supreme leader!
Washigton D.C. area also has three major airports IAD BWI DCA
All are in the same combined statistical areas, but are in different metropolitan statistical areas. DCA and IAD are in Washington, DC's MSA while BWI is in Baltimore's MSA.
Cute little system 🤔😂🤣
@skizztrizz4453 lol how is DC area a small little system?
The Bay Area has 3 International airports, about 30 miles from each other. SFO, OAK and SJC
I just realized this channel only had 263 subscribers. This is an awesome video!! I know tons about aviation and airports. I’m flying to LGA ina. Couple days on a Delta A220-100 which I do fairly often. Although LGA may not the the prettiest, it’s my favorite to take off out of. It’s the easiest to navigate and go through.
A great disappointment for the world's travelers. A slum for those who have been to the absolutely stunning and spectacular new airports of Asia! Hong Kong has check lap Kok! The largest airport mall in the world. Singapore! voted the world's most favorite airport for the last 11 years! Changi is actually a tourist location it is so overwhelming and magnificent! Please look it up on TH-cam and you'll see. They have every kind of doctor available a small hospital and a jail! The wide-open spaces and beauty staggers the mind. And then you come to America and step out onto the most ugly and Horrible looking
airport?
I live in the area. Its pretty much a necessity having two international airports, one on each side of NYC. its so painful traveling across NYC to get to a flight, having an airport on each side is a necessity.
New York has so many Airports because driving in the city sucks. It’s why we have the most helicopters per capita too
@@jonahpeele Even using pulbic transit to cross the city is very slow. getting from NJ to JFK will take a couple hours except very early AM. Brazil has way more helicopters due to kidnappings.
Can agree with the painful travel to get to one big airport. I live on the eastern side of SoCal, and even though Ontario has an International airport, everyone has to travel all the way to the ultra congested LAX, which becomes a nightmare to anyone who's living to the east of downtown LA. If atleast Long Beach or Ontario also handled inter continental flights, LA would've been a lot better!
@@kaushiksaikadali7460 We have it worse in San Diego. Being the 8th largest city in the country our airport is much like Boise or Des Moines. Just a bunch of flights to San Francisco and Las Vegas much like Ontario. So we too have to drive to Los Angeles, park at a lot and fly out of there.
2:23 LaGuardia actually serves more than one international route. They serve another to Montreal and some to Latin America or the Caribbean
Please learn how to pronounce LaGUARDIA, it is not LaGARDIA. You are leaving out the "U".
Sorry, My bad.
Such a great video but it’s pronounced LaGwardia .
But still know what she was saying.
Seriously. It was buggin me the entire video 😂
@@marklampkin2907 It's hardly some obscure word that no one's ever heard of. Yeah, we knew what she was saying, but it would be like mispronouncing your name as "Mary". It just doesn't wash.
Really nice job with this!
Last month I connected thru LGA and it was awesome! I'm from Albany and only been to NYC physically a few times. Never been thru the airport. I loved take off seeing the wholeeee city!
EWR is my home airport. Funny enough, me living in northern NJ I still see traffic going to/coming from JFK and LaGuardia. She’s absolutely right: the airspace here is definitely congested. Hats off to the ATC that keeps everyone safe in the skies.
Also, I’m excited to see the renovations EWR is working on. Terminal 1 looks more and more promising each and everyday
Oh yeah the jets just keep coming one after the other. You can see the lights lining the sky.
Terminal 1? No such terminal at EWR.
IDK that I'd consider LaGuardia Airport international, as they only have pre-cleared flights from Canada (i.e., inbound passengers from Canada don't need U.S. Customs and Border Protection screening at LaGuardia, let alone CBP having no facilities at LGA). Granted, CBP does screen those passengers in Canada, but nowadays, no one in the United States considers Canadian inbound/outbound flights as international flights.
Connected through Newark in 2022 and it seems very nice.
I thought this was at least a 10k subscriber channel, but 150!? This video is amazingly made!! Definitely subscribed, underrated channel
I love your videos!!!!!
😊😊😊😊😊😊
First one to praise my videos, your name is in the books, thank you, it means a lot.
You are delivering an informative content. Thank you and best luck for future videos.
Thank you, truly means a lot.
@@Broadvayisn’t Newark airport in jersey city WHICH IS IN NEW JERSEY😂
PEOPLE MAKING VIDS ABOUT NY PLEASE GET UR FACTS RIGHT, I saw a vid of someone saying manhattan was the only part of nyc 😂😂😂😂
One thing that both EWR and JFK have over LGA is transit connections. NJT has a station at EWR with direct service to Penn Station in Manhattan. JFK has the AirTrain which connects to the subway. If you plan on travelling through the city without a car, you will have to resort to taking a bus from LGA.
Good morning from Papua New Guinea. I enjoyed watching your contents.
Ewr is my home airport ! Born and raised in Newark , and I also worked at the airport years ago . Never been to LaGuardia yet
your channel will 100% blow up very soon
Do consider doing a video for the DC area’s 3 major airports. In this case, most international flights use Dulles Airport. A significant amount of domestic travel uses the BWI or DCA airport. DCA to be near DC and BWI for low-cost plane tickets.
BWI also does some international flights too.
@@alanawoods7074 It does not have a lot of international flight options when compared to IAD.
Great vid
Make a video on London's 5 main airports: Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton and London City. It would be really informative!
@ ZazoomPlayz, I would never have included Luton Airport as there is no/has never had a dedicated express train service to it. Heathrow, Gatwick and Stanstead have. London City is too close to the centre to have one.
@@Thnsrd42 then again, Thameslink can get you from St Pancs to Luton in under an hour, about the same time as the Stansted express from Liv St. Let's also include Southend airport, its not all that proper but it makes the list funnier
@tommo Thameslink also goes to Gatwick but I would still exclude Luton as it was not really a London airport. I would actually add Luton to the list of airports that want to align with London like Southend and Oxford. The US president's plane lands at Stanstead Airport when he visits London now btw.
Well Ryanair uses Luton and it is a part of London and has a train service so yea
What of Southend London airport
The new LaGuardia terminal is pretty good. I have never been at a terminal with a cealing that high. To me it's weakness remains poor connection to the MTA public transportation. Sure, you can get there by bus, but it really is mystifying it has not been connected to any Subway line yet.
The problem is the history and corruption of nyc.. at one one all the companies that managed the trains were are Manhattan centric and they focused on all the trains being able to go there vs anywhere else .. also , they never really cared for the areas around LaGuardia and JFK. Now with all the development and communities within the area it would cost billions of dollars to extend a few miles to connect the train to the airports and that’s if the communities want a above platform train .
@@richardwalker6004 I bet Robert Moses had something to do with it
Hopefully, the MTA considers extending the N/W to LGA
@Jose Ortiz What does that stand for?
Ceiling*
How does an American doing a piece on New York airports not know how to pronounce LaGuardia???????
And besides the big 3 there are quite a few others with in a reasonable distance: CDW, MMU, TEB, HPN, and FRG. And Fwiw TEB , HPN and FRG all have customs so are therefore technically international airports, just that they don't generally have air carriers (HPN excepted)
SWF as well. It and HPN both have commerical service and are frequently marketed as NYC.
@@DarienChenOfficial Yeah I was going to include Stewart but 60 miles from Manhattan is a bit much. Then again, FRG is what 50 miles away so may as well include it.
Does the San Francisco Bay area have the same reason for having 3?
0:05 Lagardia LOL
London, Paris, Rome, Warsaw, Moscow, Amman, Bangkok, Singapore, Tokyo, Buenos Aires, Santo Domingo have also multiple international airports. Berlin had three now reduced to one.
Along with that, Melbourne has multiple airports and Sydney is building another airport
"International" in Europe shall have intercontinental flights and handle wide body aircrafts, otherwise is like national. Santo Domingo has only one.
Both of Singapore's international airports are by the coastline, so you could have a ferry service between the 2 for airside passengers transferring between flights at both airports (& maybe to neighbouring Malaysia too?)
São Paulo has 3 airports (Congonhas, Guarulhos, Viracopos/Campinas); Rio de Janeiro has 2 (Galeão, Santos Dumont).
There is another one at Campo de Marte used by general aviation and by the military.@@joselassalle4958
The more important question is why there is not a cheap and frequent bus service that connects the airports between them? I'm italian and in Milan there are at least three bus companies that offer that service between the two airports
LGA obviously has been operating the domestic flights regional airport in the NYC, except for the flight of Air Canada from YYZ. ever since that airport opened.
Plus LGA has the perimeter rule--flights cannot originate from more than 1500 miles away (with a few grandfathered exceptions).
YYZ and YUL*
Highly underrated channel
Share with your friends if you liked the videos
I’ve was born in NY and had flown in the NY area for 40 years. The best thing for New York would be a regional international hub located at McGuire Air Force Base with new road and high-speed railroad infrastructure servicing New York and Philadelphia, PA. It will never happen because the military is committed to McGuire and the Army’s co-located Ft. Dix; plus it would take massive investment.
London, having 6 airports:
*”Am I a joke to you?”*
There are even more for private operations😂😂
Yup lol
@@BroadvayYet they serve international destinations
From a employee of jfk airport terminal 5 I agree with the statement of the terminal 5 yes people love the terminal plus happy to see a hotel in front of the terminal hotel name TWA HOTEL
The Los Angeles area has three international airports: LAX, ONT and SNA. and two domestic: BUR and LGB
The high demand of visitors forces to have a better management of it. Having the 3 airports would help the plane traffic in the metropolitan area.
Exactly👍
I’ve been to JFK three times for international flights and Newark for domestic flights
I just got over the mispronunciations and then the video hits me with an image of a European airport departure monitor while discussing NYC airports 05:40. As a native New Yorker, Aviation Enthusiast and wannabe world traveler this was a triple whammy. But the content is very much appreciated, thank you!
hi, you have a new subscriber
You can mention also defunct airports, like Floyd Bennett airport in Brooklyn, Flushing airport in Queens.
How on earth did this get approved and uploaded with LaGuardia being called La-Guard-ia?! Good lord.
And Teterboro. Pronounced Teeter like from Yellowstone.🤣
If you're staying on the west side, fly into EWR. Upper east side fly into LGA. Brooklyn or lower east side, fly into JFK
Newark I'm just used to flying United 98% of the time. LaGuardia...exists, JFK was better than I expected when I had to leave a work assignment in Boston for an emergency assignment in Brooklyn at 2 hospitals. Not bad overall
Great video, but here's one thing Newark Airport is more of an airport for the state of New Jersey than for NYC. Yes, our airport is close to NYC, but it mainly serves NJ since it's the only Major airport in the state.
I’m a New Yorker who now lives in New Jersey and I can tell you that a lot of New Yorkers prefer EWR to JFK. Also, the Port Authority should have expanded PATH train service to EWR decades ago but Federal funding has made Sky Train and AirTrain links the only alternatives to cars and busses. AMTRAK’s Northeast Corridor rail line (also used by NJ Transit) passes within a stone’s throw of EWR with only the AirTrain connecting the two.
Los Angeles has 5 airports
LAX
BUR
ONT
SNA
LGB
La-GWAR-dia!
thank you! lol i thought it only bothered me.
Seems to me the answer was trivial to begin with, more customers, more planes, more airports. NYC is what? 8M population. The greater urban area, even more people? Video needs renaming, but was a somewhat interesting review of the airports I’ve used in the past.
Cool!
San Francisco has three as well. SFO, OAK, SJC. All handle international flights.
Moscow has three too. SVO, DME, and VKO, all of which handle international.
I doubt SJC being a bigger airport, since it was hard for me to find any flight even from LA to the bay area, or from east to the bay. SJC needs a lot more flights to decompress the pressure on SFO!
At one time there was another airport in NYC. The historic Floyd Bennett Field existed for many years.
only 646 subs? This is so underrated.
A few nice views in the video of an airport with majestic mountains in the background. I doubt that airport is in the NYC area.
South Florida is a great place to travel from with SIX international airports. I'm 25 mins from PBI, 35 from FLL, an hour from MIA, and 2 1/2 hours from Orlando (MCO). Those 4 are all major international airports including 2 of the top 10 busiest airports in the US (MCO and MIA). I'm also 4 hours from Tampa and 4 hours from Key West. That's 6 international airports within about a 200 mile radius. I wonder if there's any region in the world with so many international airports in such close proximity? London, maybe?.
Dont forget Fort Pierce International Airport. LOL It's technically an international airport because it handles flights to the Bahamas.
@@timrobinson6573 Yes!
2:33, you said it was rare to have 2 international airports in one city.
London for example:
LHR-Heathrow- International
LGW-Gatwick-International
STN-Stansted-International
LTN-Luton-International
LCY-London City-International
SEN-London Southend- International
We have 6 in South Florida, although it's not a city - it's a metropolitan area/region. In fact, while the Miami region has 3 international airports none are actually in the city. But within a 200 mile radius we have 6.
London has 4 national/international airports. Heathrow, Gatwick, Stanstead and London City (Serving mainland Europe).
Southend? Luton?
@jmlinden7 No, I class them as affiliated along with London Oxford.
There is actually a 4th airport in the city besides JFK , Newark an
Lagardia . Its called La Guardia its located in Queens
I feel like London would have been a better chosen city then NY for this specific topic.. 6 airports, 3 international, 3 domestic or regional. Especially since London, although a lot bigger then NY, has a similar population.
Yaa, you're right but someone already had a video on london so I thought let's go with nyc, but don't worry we may do one with london in the future.
...
Technically, all of them are international tho
So 2 major international hubs and 4 minor international airports
@@Pano1 it is, even used to have flights to new york
Heathrow is the only airport in the London area, the rest called London for marketing purposes
@@Dropkickurteacher Your forgetting about London City Airport. And it doesn’t matter whether it’s in London or not, it serves London and is primarily for London and is therefore a London airport. Same case with tokyo’s airports.
I bet Atlanta’s airport would handle all of NYC’s traffic better and then some.
Tokyo's Narita and Haneda are both international airports, although like JFK there are more international focus on Narita.
& Narita is seeing more domestic flights now too with more low-cost airlines
if by international airport you mean an air[ort with Long Haul flights, London has intercontinental flights from both Heathrow and Gatwick; Tokyo from both Haneda and Narita, and Paris from both Orly and Charles De Gaulle. In South America, I think there are flights to Lisbon (Portugal, Europe) from two airports. It is true that New York is the only airport system in the US with two international airport, most definitely not in the world.
San Francisco has 3, with San Jose as reasonable alternate and Oakland going to Mexico [though it did have other options, and maybe will again when the new terminal opens]
Houston has two airports located within the city limits (HOU and IAH) with scheduled international commercial flights.
LCY also has intercontinental flights to North America too
@@Warriorcats64 maybe in the last sentence you meant international airports serving intercontinental flights. All major US cities depend on only one major airport, except NYC. With such a huge flying populace, US definitely needs more domestic ones to convert the present international ones as only international serving airports.
At this point McArthur Airport located on Long Island can also be added to this list.
MacArthur
While people are going on about the pronunciation of LaGuardia I still think the video was well made! I’m surprised you don’t have many more subscribers. I subscribed!
Means a lot❤️
LaGuardia was a seaplane port when the Pan Am Clipper seaplanes were the only way to fly long distances prior to WWII.
Is the Marine Air Terminal still there?
I get what you are saying that if there was only 1 airport in NYC traffic might be bad because of 140 million passengers. But most of those passengers do not stop in NYC. They just pass through. NYC only hosts about 60 million visitors a year.
I have flown from Newark a bunch of times, it isnt that bad. But LaGuardia is a different story 🥲
Agreed👍
You guys clearly haven’t been to the new La Guardia then. With its new terminals, it is undoubtedly the best airport to fly into in NYC.
@@placebyplace I flew from Laguardia back in June of this year. Not all of the terminals are finished. I was flying from the Delta terminal.
@@Cerxts Delta new terminal was just opened a month ago. You probably used it just before the new facility opened.
Where would it be a future new airport in NY when JFK reaches full capacity?
London: hold my beer
what's La GARDia?
Title: Why New York has so many airports
Me: *laughs in Londoner*
London: You gotta bump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers
Newark EWR has niot been an NYC airport for the pas year (since October 2022).
If you ever update this video, you might want to take out the line about not having to worry about traffic because of NY’s three major airports splitting up the demand. LaGuardia is a nightmare with no transit connections worth speaking of. JFK is even deeper on the island - but there ARE rail connections (just none with fewer than 2-3 connections). Newark is probably the easiest of them, but navigating the highways and roads around it once will have you wishing for better transit.
3:52 "nobody has to worry about traffic"
I take it that this lady has never driven on the Grand Central or the Van Wyck. THOSE ROADS ARE ALWAYS PACKED!!!
Did you just assume they’re gender? 😱
Washington, DC has three major airports, two of them international (Reagan National, Dulles, and BWI). Yes, BWI is considered a Washington airport (hence the "W").
But BWI doesn't use the tag Washington DC, this means let's say a flight flies from JFK TO BWI, it will be called new york city to Baltimore not Washington DC, this because the Dulles airport is operated by different authority and Baltimore is operated by different, both are separate, if they were being operated by the same authority, then we would say JFK to one city wheather it would be Washington dc or Baltimore.
But to the millions of travelers who reside in the greater DC/Baltimore area, there are always 3 airports to choose from when traveling.
The New York/Jersey model it's what Mexico City is trying to do with the new AIFA airport. Now with Benito Juarez, AIFA and the Toluca Airport CDMX has three airports for their flying needs.
Interesting heading on your video.
I’m from London and we have more airports but nobody is curious enough to ask…
And I believe you did not say La Guardia airport correctly. And should it not be separate from the La..?
Correct me someone, if I am wrong.
Actually a lot of people have been talking about the airports in London, there is already a video on that but i guess i'll have to make one too.
Video coming soon!!
@@Broadvay Guess so!
Heathrow
Gatwick
Standsted
London City
Luton International
Oh yeah, Southend as well.
Plus the ones we know exist but they don't want us to use...
🤔
You left off Westchester (White Plains), and MacArthur airports.
LGA is beautiful now. Favorite airport by far.
Just in few years It will be even better
philly has 2 airports aswell , philadelphia northeast or pne and philadelphia international phl
Philadelphia northeast is not international.
I would argue DC has a similar setup, though BWI is owned by the state, not MWAA, and has far fewer international flights.
Look DC has 2 airports IAD and DCA out of which IAD is international and DCA is domestic. In nyc's case, there are 3 airports serving domestic and international flights and not to mention the other small airdields and private airports.
Very soon New Delhi ( IGIA and Jewar Intl airport) and Mumbai ( CSMIA and Navi Mumbai Int'l airport) will have 2 airports.
yeah, that will be really big, those 2 airports will for sure be the best ones in India
Was that Ontario or Palm Springs at the end
Actually, it was salt lake city
Can you Make a video on The Texas Triangle?
Actually I have talked about the triangle in the Austin video, but if you want in detail, we'll maybe make a video on that in future.
Your apology doesn’t explain how this LaGuardia pronunciation mistake happen? Somebody had to do all the research and put this together. It’s not just one person, so I imagine at least 3 people working on this video. and none of the 3 people knew how pronounce LaGuardia? The lady speaking this is obviously American and it’s surprising that she never knew or heard the word LaGuardia airport before.
Gerald R ford airport and Detroit metropolitan airport?
Never heard Idlewild International Airport IDL mentioned.
What about Newburg? With Play flying to Iceland
Newburgh airport has very less traffic which is mostly private charter jets and there is just 2 or 3 commercial planes a day, so it's not a major airport for new york.
@@Broadvay while that is true it is still considered an international airport with PLAY
Jfk used to be called idle wild after assassination name changed to jfk airport
NYC actually wanted a fourth- but people wanted to preserve something in New Jersey called the Great Swamp.
So they cancelled that airport and kept the swamp.
The bay area has 3 international airports.
Lol 3:52. “Nobody has to worry about traffic.” Have you ever been to NYC?
I find it weird how the voice over lady says "LaGuardia" (0:40) and "Teterboro" (5:06). Should be "luh-gwaar-dee-uh" and "tee-tur-bur-ow".
wonder where laGardia is
"imagine the traffic and parking space"
A sutuon maube : trains, rapid transit...
JFK used to be Idlewild. Why no mention of that?
