Ben AustinAugust 6, 2013Make sure you enter through the old building... The mural in the rotunda is an Art Deco masterpiece.
Go like a pro, save time and money. Skip the taxi and hop the M60 bus ($2.25 w/ a metro card) to Astoria Blvd. Free transfer up the stairs to the N/Q train. You'll be anywhere in midtown in ~ 45 mins.
City of New YorkJuly 8, 2013Both the exterior and interior were designated as landmarks in 1980 including a polychromatic terra-cotta frieze of flying fish and central rotunda encircled by a sprawling mural by James Brooks.
Karl VApril 30, 2013It's a hidden jewel, you get off the plane your suitcases will be on the baggage carousel promptly, and you'll be in a cab in no time. In less than 10 minutes
MayHem and MadnessMarch 8, 2019Congratulations!!! ....... you've found Terminal A. Little do you know this was a side quest before your trip
Such a relief from chaos of central terminal. Art deco architecture is amazing
Ryan WhiteOctober 18, 2013Best airport terminal in a big city. Security is really quick, seats are comfortable and food is good. Nice work Delta!
You can get here 20 minutes before your flight yet still be on time. Not advisable, but it's a super quick security line because of all of the business travelers.
MarieR TDecember 15, 2011The only way to go if flying to Chicago, fast, efficient, the lounge area has comfy chairs with charging stations galore.- Enjoy the Marine Terminal while you can. The FAA recently approved the DL-US route swap, and the two airlines are swapping their terminals @ LGA too. Soon this will be USAir shuttle flights.
Eric AndersenMay 23, 2018Picking up a rental car with Hertz? Don’t follow signs for Rental Car shuttle, instead turn right when you’re exit and walk over here:
Heather BeckOctober 12, 2018A very small and thus low key terminal. Security is pretty quick and there’s plenty of places to sit
The Marine Air Terminal is the best! It's like a small-town airport. Never any wait at security.
Gregory RFebruary 10, 2011Best way to fly in and out of new york. It's like a small town airport (if that small town was mostly populated by rich business folks).
Norman EllisNovember 2, 2017My favorite terminal at LGA. As of Dec 2017 Delta no longer flying in and out of it. I hope it doesn’t get demolished.
R2-D2August 25, 2013The cafe charges double for food. 2.75 for a regular coffee probably Folgers, 11 dollars for a tiny ass sandwich and sprinkle of chips.Scrapings size of chicken on the sandwich was what set me off.
Coffee and juice are free at this terminal at the table near the windows. Nonetheless, it is horrible coffee.
Morgan J.June 4, 2014if youd flight is arriving into this terminal, call a uber instead of waiting on a taxi. Even though they occasionally have an attendant they still have a hard time getting open cabs here quickly
Theresa GOctober 10, 2010Make sure you check to see if you're leaving from this terminal...there's no way to walk from main terminal to here! Take either the free shuttle or a taxi...
Expensive cafe & gift shop. Food was good. Enviornment pleasant overall.
Clifford HensonJuly 7, 2010If you fly a lot, the Gogo monthly pass is the way to go. Monthly unlimited Internet on all Gogo equipped flights using any Wi-Fi device. Starts immediately, renews automatically, cancel anytime.
Sam MolterSeptember 19, 2018If you care to see what an airport looked like in the 1960s, go to this terminal. It’s actually quite cool.
The only TSA location (encountered so far) with shoe horns at exit seats for shoe-reentry!! Way to go, guys!
Deep GujralApril 8, 2013hop the M60 bus and skip the cab --You can be anywhere in manhattan within 30-45 minutes.- Jenine KJanuary 1, 2011Love that the M60 bus is literally at the door. Take the M60 to Astoria for Manhattan-bound trains.
Fastest security checkpoint ever. Showed up at 320 and got to the gate in time to get a confirmed seat on the 4pm flight! Fantastic!- Ryan WhiteJuly 25, 2013I'm the only guy here in a t-shirt. Lots of suits, which for a guy in a t-shirt, is well... Unsettling
Jonathan AdamsJune 23, 2010If you've got time - check out the retro cafeteria to the left of check-in (down the hall in the atrium). It's cheap + greasy -- and completely delightful.
Tom Acox (@ThatTomAcox)May 28, 2013Quiet and quick security line. Downside to the slow terminal is you get the B team staff inside...
Leo SpyAugust 10, 2010Forget the super shuttle. Take the M60 bus from 106th and Bdway. $2.25 or free with an unlimited metrocard.
Jasmine 💫August 3, 2018Tiniest of terminals. You’ll find only one JetBlue counter and a strong urine smell here.
Ivie CNovember 8, 2012Go green. Check in with your phone and you will not have to print a boarding pass.
Fastest major market security check in. Business terminals are the best b/c everyone knows the TSA drill.
They changed the layout of the front. Departures enter from the main door now, not the blue awning
Throw your trash and newspapers away and don't leave them on the plane your mom is not here. Your an adult don't be a slob!!!!- Anthony RalloSeptember 25, 2011Fastest security line in NYC. You can get your boarding pass and be at the gate in 10 minutes.
The free coffee tastes like feet... the pay coffee is OK but a large cup (about the size of a Grande) costs over $4. Wait to get on the plane if you can.
Check out the blast from the past cafeteria, although incredibly greasy, the pizza is kinda good.
Jeffrey ZeldmanAugust 25, 20136:00 AM. Alone in unmanned, empty terminal. Security line doesn't open till 7:00 AM. No employees on duty anywhere. Ghost town.
Shannon BAugust 2, 2013Shortest security line ever! Only took me 5 minutes to get to my gate (the last gate) after walking through the front doors.
Steph HOctober 31, 2011If you're taking a car here, be sure to allot for extra time. Car service never knows how to get here.
Anthony CaporaleDecember 30, 2011Check out
The New YorkerSeptember 30, 2010He “assumed the burden of seeing LaGuardia Airport & NYC & his life & clothes & body through the disappointed eyes of his parents.” —Jonathan Franzen, “The Failure” Read more- Nicholas CavetNovember 14, 2011From Manhattan during rush hour take the 7, M, E to Roosevelt Ave. Take a cab to marine in 10 minutes for $12
Nike+Fuel Band sets off the security alarm. Make sure you take it off before walking through!
