If there's a chance that the sky's are going to be cloudy. Expect delays. Also well past the time to upgrade the terminal
SailorMarch 19, 2018Aunt Anne Pretzels are he best thing about this entire airport, hurry up and finish that new terminal!
M J Muhamad HassimJuly 24, 2024Take a cab from Manhattan. About USD70 and takes 30mins; stress free. Use La Guardia for US domestic flights- Ranked number two in my list of favorite airports of New York City, behind JFK and ahead of Newark. Still a mess.
Rafael AlencarJuly 24, 2013If you are traveling alone and want to go to Manhattan get the Airporter bus, it's only $13, can pay with cash, credit card and debit!
"I love flying through this airport! Complimentary New York Times for everyone!" (said the girl who I watched steal one from outside a shop)
SilvanoJuly 9, 2011If your flight came from south I hope it was during the day and your seat was on the left hand side. The view from the statue and Manhattan are just amazing!
Trying to find an uber on the arrivals level is a great test of patience. I wish you luck.
The new terminal is amazing. Clean, beautiful, bags come quickly, easy to get a ride share.
Antoinette WallaceMay 12, 2013Had the most pleasant experience from the staff of Spirit Airlines. Absolutely shocked. They were very accommodating and the plane isn't as bad as I thought. JetBlue will always win the trophy though

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.
Gregg DelpinoJune 22, 2014Great idea but not user friendly.... Always need to confirm order with human first. Second time should be easier
Terminal C & D are where it’s at! Delta remodeled years ago and it allows you to side steps the construction of B.
Haters are going to hate. This airport is more often then not 20-30 minutes from midtown Manhattan. Of course it's frenetic. If that surprises you, you're really in for a shock once you leave.
Tsa pre and delta? Don't get in the tA pre line. The sky priority line right next to it is way faster and you can still jump to the tsa pre security check.

Anna-Liisa BenstonOctober 25, 2011Au Bon Pain is the only place with multiple outlets. So if your stuck here waiting for your luggage because Spirit Air is shit... You can go there and get good food and get some work done
Air Canada is placed at the a**end of concourse B. Its a wasteland both in look and amenities; compared to least civilized airports that exist in the remotest of 3rd world countries, LaGuardia SUX!
CaraAugust 22, 2017If you'd said your prayers and been nicer to your elders maybe you wouldn't be stuck in the hellhole that's the old terminals of LaGuardia. Good luck navigating this nonsensical place.
I can not stand this airport-B terminal in particular. Everyone is crammed in like sardines under a low ceiling-you can feel all the germs in the hot air.
Kareemah BattsJune 7, 2013Physically disabled, you better speak up and walk to the front of the line. There is no medical assist or family line in this airport. no one will offer you a chair while you wait for bomb check
Lots of construction going on people, so be extra early!
TSA @ Terminal B are the f'in best! lost my wallet before security check and dude was super sympathetic, waited with me, gave me direct line to L&F operator.
If you ar flying make sure you go to the right terminal if ur going to boston, DC or Chicago ur likely on Delta shuttle which is marne terminal A if u screwed up there is a shuttle bus...
If you land here during the middle of the day, and take a $25-35 dollar cab instead of the $2.25 M60 Bus to Manhattan, you, sir or madam, are a chump, and deserve to lose your money.
Book a left side window seat for views of Manhattan for flights northbound. Right side for return flights southbound.
Major construction going on now through 2020. Expect long wait times for getting in and out via car, bus, shuttles.
Gregg PullanoJune 15, 2015The Delta terminals are a little cramped, but there's lots of good amenities to be had. Enjoy the traffic jam of planes on departure from this baby airfield.
Jeff KisselMarch 25, 2013Be sure to take a peak out the window if while landing or taking off: there's usually a great view of Manhattan!
If you have the option - choose LGA over JFK. Much smaller and quicker moving through and much closer to the city
Zaira TrujilloFebruary 20, 2015Nice long airport I was only on the southwest side of it but it didn't seem that hectic as others I've been in !
Laur Lo SkiNovember 27, 2016I haven't been to LaGuardia in maybe 2 years, and I must say their new Delta Terminal is pretty nice!
Hesham SalmanApril 14, 2018Getting out of here via public transport or ride sharing apps is a nightmare. Driving here is a nightmare.
Peter BeckerJune 13, 2014Is it even possible to get out of NYC on time? I doubt it. There's always some cloud in the air anywhere. Don't book a connecting flight!
NYC PrideNovember 29, 2011When you're booking your summer travels remember to check out Delta's website for their super competitive rates. Delta is a proud sponsor of New York City Pride.
If you're leaving from A gates and have priority access, use regular security lane for faster service. EVERYONE has priority access, and TSA alternates taking 1 from each line.
If you have an Amex card check out the Centurion Lounge. Full bar and meals, Complimentary if you have a Platinum card.
Terminal B, where American Airlines is docked is a very small section. The choices of food is very limited to food kiosks with the exception of Samuel Adams, a very small eatery
Taxi: don't wait in the main line which can take 30 minutes. Walk 350 ft further to American Airlines building and hop in the cab of your choice - no line!- Transferring on the shuttle bus from one gate to the next a a hassle, especially given the fact that boarding to the bus platform requires you to use steep stairs.
Highly suggest stopping for a shoe shine if you have time... Shine chairs operated by the same family for 60yrs. Great personalized service!
If you're headed to Brooklyn, skip the yellow cab line and call a car. It's much cheaper and saves you waiting in the taxi line from hell. My pick is BRD (718) 384-4444
Dottie LouMay 18, 2017Probably the ugliest airport I've been in this year. But hey! If you're there, you're leaving, so there's that.
If it's not dark, overcrowded and a little unclean where you are standing, quick, get outta there! You're at JFK!
Larisa GrollemondAugust 13, 2016Terminal D is the best option for dining, but there's a reason LGA is widely despised among travelers. Plan to leave ASAP.

"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)."
