Those airports are just nice, and seem so luxurious. Then I return back to the states, and see airports with carpet, instead of marble floors. As one of the few Alpha cities out there, NYC should have something respectful.

Hear Hear!!! You are right my good sir! By jove, the sorry sate of infrastructure is appalling in what is the most important city in the USA. Have you traveled through the airports in Charlotte, Raleigh, and Savannah, GA? Far better. I thought aviation was at least one area that Americans actually valued though, so it surprises me that NYC has such a second rate airport.. Laguardia's main terminal is the penn station of aviation, now that JFK terminal 3 is gone. I bet the new design will look modest though, i'm not expecting any Barajas or CDG splendor on the east river sadly given the current political climate. It might not even approach Reagan. I'm expecting a slightly more upscale version of JFK T5, hopefully i'll be shocked and will be eating crow when Hadid builds her terminal that could be mistaken for a terminal built in 2050, but i'm just dreaming
