LaGuardia travelers fear turbulence en route to new airport

NEW YORK (AP) — There could be turbulence for travelers during the multibillion dollar renovation of New York's LaGuardia Airport. Vice President Joe Biden said the aging LaGuardia reminded him of a "Third World country" — and that was before a massive traffic tie-up related to a $4 billion overhaul prompted passengers to abandon their cabs and cars and walk to the terminals. Officials at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which runs the airport, say they hope not to repeat the debacle of last Monday, when Twitter was flooded with images of bedraggled travelers hauling children and suitcases along the Grand Central Parkway because private cars and taxis couldn't get anywhere near the departures area to drop them off. "Monday was a very challenging day for us," Richard Smyth, the Port Authority executive in charge of the LaGuardia renovation, acknowledged Thursday.
