John PasierbowiczJanuary 3, 2013look for the priority line at each security checkpoint as it will save you time if you qualify. Especially if someone breaches security so everyone there has to go through security a second time!
FlightCenter.comJanuary 3, 2012TSA TIP #5 Once through the x-ray machines take your belongings (trays) off the belts & get re-packed & dressed in the areas designated for this rather than holding up the lines at the x-ray machines.
The #nyc airport is becoming one of the top networking hubs for professionals with new #digipreneur tools throughout. Fast processing hut get to #LGA an hour early.- FlightCenter.comJanuary 3, 2012TSA TIP #1: Before getting to the screening check points clean out your clothing pockets as well as any metals/jewelry etcetera and put them into your carryon bags (or jacket pockets) ahead of time.
Flying AA? There are two cab lines when leaving LGA. When you get to bag claim, take a right when you step outside, go all the way to the end. It's a much shorter line. There are always cabs waiting
joeSeptember 21, 2024Looked a lot newer and better than the other NJ airport.. a lot of shops within, plenty of food options !

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
The CIBO express food markets (spot the blue and white logo) sells terrific grab-n-go. Really. Fresh and tasty with variety and decent prices. I now look forward to that when I fly.
Great enhancements to the Delta terminal in recent years. Use one of their iPad stations to play games or watch the news while waiting for your flight.
James TrivlisDecember 4, 2011Since your at LaGuardia Airport (LGA): For $2.25 or one Metrocard swipe, you can get downtown via the MTA M60 bus which connects to the N/R Train, also goes across bridge to 125th . Faster then a cab
Current construction makes parking and entering the airport a challenge. Allow yourself a bit more time.
Jen LFebruary 27, 2012Dial 7 car service is great. It maybe a tiny bit more expensive than a cab (or maybe less during rush hour) but you will have a peace of mind knowing they will be there at your convenience
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.
Camaro LimousinesNovember 25, 2014Last updated 10/15/14 ©2012 MarketPlace DevelopmentFigs Restaurant in Terminal B, LaGuardia Airport. The lady manager at this restaurant will make sure your experience is a great one.
The M60 bus picks up and drops off here. Cheapest way to get into or out of the city ($2.75 - one swipe on the metro card!) Allocate at least an hour to get to or from the airport.
Drew MorganApril 14, 2013It's a nice place to eat breakfast on the weekend. I live five minutes away, so it's a favorite Friday and Saturday breakfast watering hole.
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
Thursday afternoon looks like a great time to travel. The airport is beautiful, clean and oh so spacious (Terminal B)!
FYI, toothpaste cannot be more than 3 oz in your carry on. TSA is worried you might use it in a hostile takeover of the airplane and everyone will have minty fresh breath.
Brad MarleyJuly 30, 2013If you are flying out of Concourse C and are hungry, eat before you go through security. Unless Au Bon Pain is your favorite restaurant. If that's the case, there's one in the concourse.
KatherineAugust 10, 2014The best way to get into the city, no matter your final destination, is the Airport Flyer. Takes you from LGA to Grand Central for $13.
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.
SamanthaMarch 5, 2014What a beautiful place. Lots of room near the gates. Nice people who don't ignore you as you wait for service. Free wifi and good snacks. Oh wait...
If you have a flight out of the b gates, make sure you get there really early. The line can be ridiculous.
Order a breakfast sandwich from Centerplate with eggs only (on ciabatta). It's quite massive and costs $3.
Kelvin LeeMay 14, 2015Even though Term D is for domestic flights, some international flights still use it, and there is NO duty free. So grab your liquor and smokes BEFORE!
If you get delayed go see Mtene at XpresSpa in Delta Terminal C. Get the neck & back message to get rid of all your travel stresses. $55 for 30 mins - worth it!
Monica LinkApril 14, 2011Airport smaller than expected, but big enough to miss your plane if you're not there early. The food is great and the shops have last minute stuff to buy for family and friends looking for Big apple m
Laura Prego-OrtizFebruary 15, 2013So cool – free use of iPad when you arrive. You can also have an espresso and brioche while you relax.
Felipe GarciaMarch 19, 2019If there’s any construction work happening, you better get in early. Signs may be misleading and you probably will need to walk more than usual to get to places.
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).
probably the nicest airport in nyc now! Longer walk to the gates though.
Megan ThwaitesSeptember 16, 2013If you're taking the M60 from the city to the airport remember: if you're early, you're on time. If you're on time, you're late. If you're late you're left!
I have more places to sit, eat, pee & feel air conditioning in my house than the entire @SouthwestAir terminal here.
Ken LukMarch 5, 2014After experiencing Pearson on a regular basis, it's very strange to see an airport with regular height ceilings (12ft). Looks like the lower level of Union Stn.
Make sure to stop at Fresthetic in Williamsburg, Brooklyn for some fresh tees, accessories and Art. A must when visiting NYC
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 :-)
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.
LaGuardia Airport (LGA)November 26, 2013Starting at 11am tomorrow, stop by the #FiveGuys #LGA Terminal B location, say secret code “Save the Turkeys, give me my burger" to the cashier & win a free $10 gift card! First 10 passengers win!
Yes it can be very stressful here. Arrive plenty early and take advantage of enriching your cultural knowledge.
Older airport but super easy to get in and out of. People complain about it but there are so many coming and going and they do a good job!
I'm always nice and calm in he plane but when I look down the windows I am scared of heights.
If you are departing from terminal C, and have TSA Precheck, get dropped off at door 1.
I love you, New York, but your airport is an absolute hole. Sad, but true.
- LaGuardia Airport (LGA)December 9, 2015Traveling through #LGA Terminal B? Look out for the #LGASnowBros, surprising passengers with free gifts!!
Tiago SardeliOctober 8, 2016Terminal C is awesome!!! Biergarten, good food spots, awesome layout, high tech with iPads almost everywhere for your use!
The upgrades to this place are spectacular! One of the best airports now!
LaGuardia is the smallest of the 3 major airports in NYC but the closest to Manhattan. The Delta terminal has lots of iPads on their waiting lounge. Pretty cool.

"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)."
