John HowardApril 5, 2019Lots of construction and a ways to go. Food is pricey, it is NY so expect that. When finished this will be a great AIRPORT. Maybe in 2021.
Marie La RueDecember 16, 2018Dreaded my 6am visit to sad, depressing Terminal B... discovered they had completed food court renovations! Enjoyed Irving Coffee Roasters. Even got help checking in my bag. Getting to LGA still awful
The Biergarten in Terminal C belts out indie jams and you can order all the sauerkraut and beer your heart desires via iPad, which is awesome because people suck.
If you're on an ideal flight, try and get a snapshot of the Manhattan skyline from the left side of the plane day or night!
Clarence MasonFebruary 13, 2015Baggage claim downstairs is busy and a little tight in space. It's 11pm on a Thursday.. I'm here for All Star Weekend so that may play a role.
DanJanuary 21, 2015Taxi's are always waiting if you go all the way to the end of baggage claim and just after you turn the corner. Facing the doors turn right and walk all the way to the end.
New Terminal B is great, huge upgrade over the old facility. New restaurants, bathrooms, more seating, charging, much more spacious..
Centurion lounge outside security in Terminal B is my favorite thing.

If you're not taking a car service, take Q70 bus to Roosevelt, which connects to several trains that take you into the city! Fast-ish & save your $$ for fun in the city!
Cecily McCulloughMarch 18, 2018Don’t count on TSA precheck here some days they decide to close it, and just yell at you instead of explain why.
- Shalet VargheseNovember 21, 2013IPads available to everybody for browsing. A nice touch. Although most of be people carry their own device. A lot of electrical outlets for charging. Excellent!Seats at the waiting area is not comfy.
Nov 2016 until further notice, add an addition 30min to 1 hour for your travel plans here. The construction will be a headache (and a missed flight) for the uninitiated.
Here's my tip. Do everything in your power to get the hell out of this airport at your fastest pace. This place is the werst. We need a new spelling for how miserable of a building collection it is.
The taxi queue at Terminal B is ridiculously long. Order a Lyft or Uber as soon as you step off the plane.
Think of the best airport in the world with the most thought out process on getting in and out. Then take all its garbage and dump it in Queens.
Tim O'NeillMarch 18, 2013Transport into Manhattan is easy...take the M60 bus from LaGuardia to 125th St, and grab the green line subway downtown. Each leg is $2.50 with a Metrocard -- beats paying $40 for a cab!
Omar LoggiaAugust 16, 2016There's a MetroCard vending machine right where you catch the M-60 bus (Manhattan-LaGuardia bus). From baggage claim level, follow signs to "buses to Manhattan." also buy at the convenience stores
This has become one of best close-in airports anywhere. American and Delta terminals well thought out.
LGA has made vast improvements from the time Biden called it a "third world country" There's still a long way to go, but some terminals are fantastic now with improved dining and restrooms, esp Term C
Anne WSeptember 21, 2013Bisoux is fantastic food and adult-beverage wise. Just make sure you don't get too caught up in sampling the goods or else you might get paged for your flight. Not that I'd know. ;-)
City Food ToursMarch 20, 2012Whether u r a local or visitor there's plenty 2 do in the Big Apple! Consider City Food Tours 4 a fun & filling way 2 explore. If ur stuck at LAG, make ur own mini-tour @Papaya King & Joey's NY Pizza- LaGuardia Airport (LGA)January 31, 2014Flying through La Guardia Airport today? We have yummy food sampling events with Sabra hummus (near Gate D, before security) & PepsiNEXT (near Gate C, before security) from 1-5pm. Read more
Get here early! May 2016: security lines were LONG at 7am on a Friday Terminal B Gate C - even with pre-check. Thankfully I was saved by a United agent trying to clear the flight!
The best thing about LGA is the Amex Centurion Club. (You must be an Amex Platinum card holder to have access).
Larry KhulmannJune 1, 2017LaGuardia is a tough airport to navigate. Leave it to the experts at Aaron Limousines Ltd to get you there and back www.limo.li or 516-236-5735 for a safe affordable ride to and from Long Island
in at least the D gates in terminal B, there aren't a lot of dining options past the tsa screening area, so if you're hungry, i would suggest eating prior to going through security
Quick easy gateway. I specially like the Delta Marine Terminal. So retro I feel transported to the 60's!
Aaron GelbmanFebruary 25, 2017If you were coming out here from Long Island make sure you do not bring your own car. Instead book round trip service with Aaron Limousines Ltd
Jenny KJuly 25, 2014Air Canada terminal is small but cozy. Excellent purified water filling station for bottles so bring your Sigg/Nalgene etc.

Joe KolackiSeptember 16, 2013Flying in or out make sure you pick a window seat on the left side to enjoy the best view of the city
Be sure to get a shoe shine from John outside the Admirals Club. Not only a great shine but a great guy and he'll do a free brush next time you swing by.
Christine WagnerAugust 21, 2014The staff for Delta were incredibly nice. I had never flown before and was nervous. Everything was clearly labeled and there were kiosks everywhere for people just to help if you had a question.
Riley the AussieJuly 20, 2012Despite it costing $150 to travel with a pet on most airlines, at least this airport is very pet friendly. Lots of space to rest, outside of the bag of course.
FlightCenter.comJanuary 3, 2012TSA TIP #3 Remove your laptop(s) and shoes/belts while waiting in line for the x-ray machines and carry them in your hands to be ready for the bins, remember laptops are placed in a bin by itself.
Busy, but clean and beautiful. Tons of dining and shopping options, too.

Delta Terminal has a great breakfast/ lunch buffet & Salad bar! U can sit at gates 1 & 2 to eat & charge all ur stuff before or after ur flight:) they also serve from "Crust" at these gates!- Erick RojasJune 6, 2013Remember to take your laptop out from any case that you may have it in at security. Also, keep in mind wearing new socks (or at least socks without holes in them).
Get free Wi-Fi by connecting to Boingo, selecting complimentary sponsored Wi-Fi, download the Amazon app (make sure to delete it first if you already have it installed), and then reopen the browser!- JwowFebruary 27, 2015For the best aerial view of NYC sit on the left side of the plane for takeoff form LaGuardia!
- FlightCenter.comJanuary 3, 2012TSA TIP #4 When loading your belongings onto the x-ray belts load them in an order to help expedite at the other end. THINK, (a) suit case first, (b) laptop bags/purse, & (c) your shoe & belts tray.

"Dunkin donuts is a good value. Coffee and egg croissants are my go to. Other options/stores....well, you pay more."

"Best 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)."
