There's almost always delays here. But, if you have a Metrocard it's cheaper (free) to get to this airport using the Select Bus Service than having to take NJ Transit to Newark.
Abdulrahman AlrehanAugust 15, 2013The people who work here are rude in general, I don't know why but I think work environment is not good. WiFi is limited to 30 minutes.They have cool place that have a lot of tablets for people to use
SoulDecember 24, 2013Small but does the work. Been there late at night ,so no idea how it works in rush hours
Always pick up your loved ones on the departure level. There are no bathrooms near the parking garage.
Say what you will about the physical state of LGA, at least it has extensive TSA pre check (JFK does not) and it is quicker to get to than JFK from most points in NYC.
I just found out Time Warner Cable customers get free wifi at Boingo hotspots! Just choose TWC from the drop down and sign in with your username and password.
While in NY, tune your radios to 92.3 NOW FM and hear me mix all your favorite party jams live every Mon-Fri at 9pm & Sat at 8pm!
It took me around 90 minutes to get to LGA by subway and bus from 43rd and 6ave and missed my flight. Come early! The reconstruction sucks and you need an extra time because of the airport traffic
The shuttle bus from the subway has actually gotten a lot smoother.- A SNovember 5, 2011If you're going to Boston, DC, or Chicago on Delta, you probably need to be at the Marine Air Terminal- NOT the regular Delta Terminal. There's a free shuttle to get there.
American Airlines terminal is a horror. Paying for pass to the Admirals Club is worth it.
Mary DeMarJune 20, 2013If you're going downtown, take the M60 bus and train to save $50 on a taxi! Takes the same amount of time.
City of New YorkFebruary 25, 2013Did you know ? The airport has been through 3 names: Glenn H. Curtiss Airport, North Beach Airport then New York Municipal Airport-LaGuardia Field
if you need a cart, don't pay the $5 at baggage claim, walk out to the taxi area and snag an abandoned cart for free. usually lots of them and lots of turnover
I perfer JFK better since they seem more organized there. However if you do fly out here make sure you get there early to avoid extra hassle.
Try the iPad ordering at the Empire Tavern. Just wash your hands afterwards.
Gate D is at Terminal B. I can only assume this exists to stress me out. Give yourself ATLEAST 30 mins to clear security. And try a traditional cab over Uber.
Pro tip: if C security is long you can go through D and take the shuttle (and vice versa). Leave yourself time but not so much time that you have to sit in the crappy terminals.
Take Dramamine, not for the flight, but for driving through the maze of narrow roads to the terminals.
Melonee GainesFebruary 11, 2014I'm still appalled when I come to an airport with no free Wi-Fi. Save that $7.95 for a sandwich and you may need to add to that.
They’re working on it but let’s face it-it’s a maze right now, construction for 2 years. Fly JFK if you can.
leo kyivOctober 17, 2019They made uber pickup super inconvenient. u have to wait 30-60 minutes in the line just to get to the car with the fuc*ing code then there is terrible traffic to get out of airport. avoid LaGuardia!
Fewer and fewer shady ride offers these days. Taxi or bus service are proven transportation methods
Bloomberg TelevisionJuly 19, 2012It may not have the pope, but at 680 acres in size, LaGuardia is big enough to fit SIX Vatican Cities.
Wow under 30 minutes from my midtown east apartment to the gate. Best ever today!
You can get an Uber very easily here, just choose you pick up point wisely.

Diane Lucille SuarezFebruary 23, 2016Make sure you know what terminal ahead of time or you'll wind up doing circles or back in the highway
If you are flying Delta, all flights do NOT leave from the main terminal so make sure to check the gate letter -- if it begins with C, have the cab drop you off at Terminal C.
Looking for somewhere to sit in the B Gates? Try the seats next to B1 behind the glass across from the panini shop. Nice seats and very quiet.
Sergio DelfantiApril 25, 2017Professional efficient treatment but airport is under construction. A mess and time consuming.
Sell the house. Close the shop. Buy a ticket to the west coast.
Getting home by car service? Ask them to meet you at the departures. Instead of going downstairs walk straight out, less traffice, and parking police won't hassle them.
NYC: The Official GuideMarch 22, 2013Need a cheap way into Manhattan? Take the M60 public bus ($2.50) to the Astoria Blvd. N/Q subway station. Catch the Manhattan-bound train there. (Buses take MetroCards or coins only; no dollar bills.)
You can transfer to/from the M60 bus at Astoria Blvd station on the N or Q subway lines. Beats getting off/on the bus in Manhattan and sitting in traffic the whole time!
One of the easier choices for that NYC wannabe world traveler feel. Eat at "Mex and the city"
Apparently, TSA does strictly enforce that you go to through the security lines for your particular gate. So forget about meeting a friend who has a layover on a different airlines.
Do NOT try to sit on your buddy's shoulders & wrap a long trenchcoat around the two of you, creating the illusion of a single, very tall passenger--they have seen this trick before.
Meredith AAugust 21, 2011Good chance your flight will board close to on time...don't get too excited, be prepared to sit on the tarmac for awhile. This is one airport you definitely DON'T want to be one of the 1st to board.
Water fountain across from B5 gate fills water bottles while in upright position. B6 has Dunkin Donuts (long line at 8am).
My favorite thing about flying into and out of LGA are the post card views of Manhattan.
Always check with your airline the status of your flight!
DjordjeJuly 17, 2015Probably the worst airport in the United States, or even in the western world. Joe Biden's comparation of LaGuardia to a third world country is the most on point comment he has ever made.
The Centurion Lounge wins the pre-security lounge wars at LGA. Use your Amex Platinum Card or $50 to get in.- Security can but lengthy at times here. Get there early.
