It's a new year, let the travel begin. I'm looking forward to the world of salon, spas and resorts I will visit this year. I hope I find my way to yours while on the journey. #lovemyjob
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
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!
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.
If you’re departing from the new terminal, bring your walking shoes! The walk to the gates is well over 10mins!
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!
New Terminal B is great, huge upgrade over the old facility. New restaurants, bathrooms, more seating, charging, much more spacious..
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.- 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.
The taxi queue at Terminal B is ridiculously long. Order a Lyft or Uber as soon as you step off the plane.
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.

Centurion lounge outside security in Terminal B is my favorite thing.
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.
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
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.
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
This has become one of best close-in airports anywhere. American and Delta terminals well thought out.
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!
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
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
The best thing about LGA is the Amex Centurion Club. (You must be an Amex Platinum card holder to have access).
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
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. ;-)
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!
Quick easy gateway. I specially like the Delta Marine Terminal. So retro I feel transported to the 60's!
- 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

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
Jenny KJuly 25, 2014Air Canada terminal is small but cozy. Excellent purified water filling station for bottles so bring your Sigg/Nalgene etc.
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.
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
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.

Busy, but clean and beautiful. Tons of dining and shopping options, too.
First time flying for business in a while. I hear the new LGA is incredible. Looking forward to seeing what they have done to the place.
Grab a seat at your terminal and use the free iPads to surf, plus order food, water, whatever and they will bring it right to you with no surcharge! No free wi-fi for your stuff though.
Mary CarreraJuly 10, 2024The airport has been redone and it’s beautiful but I had to get a wheelchair bc the walking is too much for my sciatica which decided to kill me. All in all it was a good experience at terminal B
Christopher LeeJune 8, 2023Remodeled terminal is great, clean and modern, welcome to the 21st century NYC
Due to recent construction, add in an extra 35 mins to your "internal commute" as the signs are not clear on how to reach to your desired terminal. This tip is valid until their completion in 2020.
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.

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!
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!- 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).

"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)."
