    And the Lavatories all have pay toilets, no paper and long lines.

    I would have picked Newark, NJ. They don’t even advertise the food prices because they are so outrageous.

    Why should LaGuardia be any different …?

    There’s also an extra charge for “groping” at the scanner line.

    The handbasket is probably too big for the luggage racks and has to be stored in the belly of the plane. I’ve flown a few of those small regionals.

    And the road there has developed potholes as the good intentions wear out.

    Here’s a look at one of the most disliked airports in America:

    1. Losing sleep

    Want to catch a few winks between flights? Don’t bet on it. LaGuardia ranked as among the worst airports in the world for sleeping, according to “The Guide to Sleeping in Airports.”

    2. Late again

    Only 65% of the flights arrived on time. It is the worst in the country for on-time performance, the Global Gateway Alliance (GGA) found in a a report earlier this year.

    3. Try getting there

    LaGuardia ranked 12th out of 13th for mass transit access. GGA put it near the bottom on the basis of high cost and low access to public transport.

    4. Sorry mom, can’t Skype

    Good luck getting on the web. LaGuardia ranks 38th on a list of the 50 busiest U.S. airports for cell phone data usage tested by RootMetrics.

    5. It’s ancient

    You can’t escape the past. Some of the infrastructure dates back to LGA’s original 1939 Work Projects Administration construction. New York Gov. Cuomo’s office says that the last major investment was in the 1990s.

    6. What’s an amenity?

    When it comes to amenities, LaGuardia is severely lacking.

    7. Trashed in the Twitter-verse

    Mashable compared the 20 airports with the highest Twitter traffic and ranked them from best to worst. LaGuardia came in at a lowly 18th, garnering more negative attention than positive.

    8. Stop overloading!

    The Central Terminal Building, Terminal B, was supposed to hold 8 million passengers when it was designed in 1964. It served 13.5 million passengers in 2014.

    9. Can’t get any worse

    LaGuardia topped Conde Nast Traveler reader’s choice awards 2014 list — in a bad way. The magazine labeled it “America’s worst.”

    Must be one of the restaurant in an airport food court. Those employees are not known for their customer service skills…

    Last month at Phoenix to catch my connecting flight I had to walk about a mile thru the labyrinthine halls. No moving belt either.
