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

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.

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.
