Delta’s LaGuardia Upgrade Boosts Summer Travel

Delta Unveils Next-Level Experience at New York’s LaGuardia Terminal C

Delta Air Lines is elevating the travel experience at LaGuardia Airport by completing Terminal C. This is part of a massive $4 billion transformation in partnership with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

With over 220 daily departures, Delta is LaGuardia’s largest airline. It now offers a reimagined terminal that blends efficiency, innovation, comfort, and the unmistakable energy of New York.

Terminal C: Modern, Efficient, and Full of Local Flavour

From the moment you walk in, Terminal C is a modern masterpiece:

• Touchless TSA PreCheck ID for eligible SkyMiles members lets travellers check in and clear security with facial recognition—less waiting, fewer screens, and more ease.

• Accessibility-forward design includes a sensory room, pet relief areas, and an interfaith chapel.

• A new outdoor sky deck offers a rare breath of fresh air and panoramic tarmac views.

Art & Culture Meet Travel

Recognized by Forbes Travel and Skytrax, Terminal C features artwork by local artists and installations curated in partnership with the Queens Museum:

• Rashid Johnson’s mosaic wall

• Mariam Ghani’s ceramic tribute to New York’s linguistic diversity

• Aliza Nisenbaum’s portraits of Delta and airport employees

Even the lighting fixtures—crafted from reclaimed city skylights—reflect New York’s creative spirit.

A Foodie’s Paradise in the Sky

Terminal C captures New York’s culinary soul, with everything from quick bites to full meals:

• Local favourites: Bubby’s, Chuko Ramen, King David Tacos

• Sit-down dining: Calista Taverna (Greek), Sunday Supper (Italian-American)

• Grab-and-go gems: Eggy Weggy, Poppy’s Bagels, Essex Burger, and Rossi Pizzeria (by Lucali’s Mark Iacono)

Delicious food, no matter the hour, just steps from your gate.

Designed to Move You—Literally and Emotionally

• Centralized security means less backtracking.

• Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light.

• Innovative design and artistic touches create an experience that’s efficient yet inspiring.

A Bold New Chapter in NYC Travel

Delta and the Port Authority’s partnership has redefined what an airport can be. With tech, art, local cuisine, and a traveller-first design, Terminal C is more than a terminal—it celebrates New York’s future.

Delta is keeping its promise to “Keep Climbing”—not just in the sky, but on the ground, too.
