2 hours? Try doing it pre March 2001 slot restriction. 4-5 hours of taxi would be normal.

That is the most DISGUSTING, one-sided, airline-serving lie I have ever seen...complete with that video?! My god...!

LGA is an embarrassment to the profession. Seriously.

I don't care if they used to have 4 hour taxi times. It is a joke there. Second worst airport in the US. Only IAD is (or used to be at least) worse.

I bid around LGA because it sucks so bad. Incompetence defined.

Yep, gotta love the 98 hour rule we had.

LGA and JFK are the greatest invention to the airline paycheck I've ever seen. I don't want those airports to change one single bit. In fact, I think they should have more single-engine piston airplanes coming in there. I'm not one to complain when free money is getting tossed my way to sit on the ground and move 5 feet every 10 minutes.

P.S. - 2 hours ain't all that bad. I blocked 4 hours and 50 minutes to go from PHL-SYR one night. Now that's niiiiiiiiiiiiiice.
