Platinum Card® from American Express
Apply Now(at Amex's secure site)For American Airlines and Oneworld flyers flying out of New York City’s closest airport, LaGuardia, there’s a new Admirals Club that’s opened just recently that you’re going to love.
American formerly occupied Concourse D out of Terminal B at LaGuardia Airport (LGA), but as of December 15, 2021, American has moved all its flights to the Western Concourse in Terminal B, a much more bright, airy, and modern concourse, reminiscent of some major international airports across the world (including Singapore).
With the move from Concourse D to the Western Concourse, American had to open up a new Admirals Club space to accommodate its new gates, and the former Admirals Club location in Concourse D is now closed.
Adjacent to gates 30 and 31, you’ll find an escalator that takes you up onto the second level. The Admirals Club is located here, and entrants will be able to relax in privacy with sweeping views of the gates and terminal just below.
Right now, the club isn’t entirely open. As of December 16, 2021, there is a “soft opening” of sorts, allowing passengers to continue to enjoy basic club services, but the entire club won’t be fully operational until the spring of 2022.
American indicates that the operational hours will be 4:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.
This particular club will be over 20,000 square feet and will seat over 350 passengers, a much-needed improvement over the former club that could accommodate fewer passengers.
Basic amenities are standard across the network, and there are no major differences with the new club here:
To access the club, you need to meet one of the qualifying criteria:
As you enter the lounge, an agent will verify your credentials, so if you’re unsure if you have access, speak with them and they can help.
New York City is a major hub for American Airlines, and having a good airline club there is important to attract premium customers. While American transitions away from the old Concourse D at Terminal B, passengers will be thrilled to see American’s new operations out of the Western Concourse and an impressive lounge space that can accommodate several hundreds of people easily.
