Amanda ThauJune 6, 2016Surprisingly nice airport. Lots of iPads and individual seating in the Delta terminal.
Best for commute to and from, but pretty standard terminals once you are there.
Allow a little extra time. Road exits keep changing. Construction makes things a little complicated.
At Terminal B? Get an Auntie Anne's pretzel - mallrat style. You won't regret it!
The m60 bus from manhattan is the best way to get here!!! Super fast and cheap
Haters are going to hate. This airport is more often then not 20-30 minutes from midtown Manhattan. Of course it's frenetic. If that surprises you, you're really in for a shock once you leave.
If you're looking for a cab at Terminal C, make a right and walk 350 feet - there's a second stand at a traffic circle with a better taxi-to-passenger ratio (and no black cab touts).
If for some reason, you're looking for United Club, it's actually outside the security line. (This airport has an odd layout.) Concourse C, behind the ticket counters.
Lots of construction going on people, so be extra early!
I'm always nice and calm in he plane but when I look down the windows I am scared of heights.
Terminal D (Delta) is one of my favorite US terminals; great food choices, contemporary layout and iPads for everyone - whether you are in the gate area or in a restaurant. Superior experience.
Impressed with the level of service and cleanliness of the facilities 👏👏👏👏👏
Good food option in Terminal D: Crust. Pizza, grilled sandwiches and decent wine selection.
Need some EDM music during your flight. Download the DJ BIJAL iPhone app. Works without wifi or data connections. Great for flights. http://bit.ly/BIJALIPhoneApp
Eldian AguilarJune 18, 2013Take the subway everywhere and use HopStop app to guide you around locations, with a combination of google maps for iOS you are set for walking
If you're flying in from the Midwest, the best Manhattan views are on the left side of the plane.
Best DelegateSeptember 6, 2011No direct subway line into the city. Recommend taking a shuttle bus that takes you to midtown. Also, you can consider sharing a cab, but lines may be long.
DaniFebruary 25, 2013LaGuardia Airport was the first airport in the U.S. to be built on partially reclaimed land, which was also used in Tokyo and Hong Kong. LGA has outgrown its capacity, terminals feel a bit cramped.
Best airport for hipsters - you simply can't beat a $25, 15-minute cab ride from Williamsburg.
There aren't many food options in the AA terminal, but Healthy Gourmet has good French press coffee and egg white flatbread sandwiches.
If you're returning a rental car better plan a lot of extra time. Need to take 2 busses and then walk quite a bit, especially if you're going to terminal D.
If you're not eating carbs, your best options are some of the pre-made salads at various food spots.
I have more places to sit, eat, pee & feel air conditioning in my house than the entire @SouthwestAir terminal here.
Daniel M.August 13, 2012If you're flying on Southwest, be advised they do not assign seats. Head directly toward the middle of the aircraft and grab an emergency exit row. This way you're guaranteed an aisle or window seat.
A cab from the city to LGA or vice versa should run about $36. Don't go for the smooth talking curbside attendants trying to get you into the city for $65. Scammy
Christopher ZollerOctober 10, 2013Delta terminal D has lots of free I Pads fot internet, e-mail or gaming while you wait!
Yitz JordanApril 19, 2012Come prepared if you have a departing flight, you can get through security mad quick if you have everything in order. This is NEW YORK, don't hold up the security lines :-)
Liza Casatelli MarianiApril 13, 2015They now have new iPad stations where you can even order something to eat or drink right from the iPad!!
If you land here during the middle of the day, and take a $25-35 dollar cab instead of the $2.25 M60 Bus to Manhattan, you, sir or madam, are a chump, and deserve to lose your money.
So you are hungry. Enough to trick yourself that Cosi's isn't as bad as last thought. STOP! You are better than microwaved tuna sanga on ancient bread. Thats right, keep walking. Don't look back.
Terminal B is brand new - definitely save room for Shake Shack
Karen MajorMarch 4, 2019I am in terminal C gate 23 area. It is very cramped not enough seating. Most seating is for those seated to order from the restaurant.
There’s free WiFi. Refill your bottles at the water fountains/water stations.
One mile of walking from Terminal B entrance to JetBlue’s first gate. Looks nice but much of this waste is mall shops & mediocre food. Renovation should have included public transportation. Grade: D-- Vivek GuptaNovember 3, 2013The coffee shop in the Terminal B food court is open 24hrs in case you need it.. but it's pricey - $4 for a bottle of water. Take the free shuttle to get between the terminals.
Laur Lo SkiNovember 25, 2014They've really improved LGA since I've flown out of there last! It looks very nice. Baggage claim however is still slow as hell! They do check your baggage claim slips now which is an improvement
I love you, New York, but your airport is an absolute hole. Sad, but true.
Larisa GrollemondAugust 13, 2016Terminal D is the best option for dining, but there's a reason LGA is widely despised among travelers. Plan to leave ASAP.
Rafael AlencarJuly 24, 2013If you are traveling alone and want to go to Manhattan get the Airporter bus, it's only $13, can pay with cash, credit card and debit!
If there's a chance that the sky's are going to be cloudy. Expect delays. Also well past the time to upgrade the terminal
Get here early! Traffic is awful- took me over an hour to go from Roosevelt Ave/74ave to the airport on the SBS bus.
Transferring on the shuttle bus from one gate to the next a a hassle, especially given the fact that boarding to the bus platform requires you to use steep stairs.
The new terminal is just a delight. There are more food options at the gates after the food court.
Very impressed with the new Delta Terminal. Plenty of seats and electrical outlets. Free iPads to use while you wait and decent food options. Makes delays less aggravating.
Kareemah BattsJune 7, 2013Physically disabled, you better speak up and walk to the front of the line. There is no medical assist or family line in this airport. no one will offer you a chair while you wait for bomb check
Like craft beer? Best place is right next to security line by terminal C, not much else... And be nice to the staff, everybody vents on them
