There are water refilling stations at LGA! Don't spend $8 on a bottle of water. Bring an empty water bottle and fill it up.
Diana GartyOctober 17, 2011If you need to catch the Hertz bus to the rentals, keep an eye out for it. The driver just honks and goes, unless you hail it like a taxi
Janna Meyrowitz TurnerNovember 17, 2010Just arrived in NYC? Order your favorite products in travel-size @3floz.com and they'll arrive at your Manhattan hotel room same-day. Beat that TSA!
Give yourself a few extra minutes when flying into / our of this airport. It's so busy.
Why can't these idiots form a cab line going the right direction when there's clearly gates for you to line up in? 150 people blocking the sidewalk...
You can buy MTA metrocard in from the maching in Terminal D or from the vendor stands in other terminals.
Need the washroom after landing? Wait til you get to baggage. Equally gross bit often less crowded.
Taryn CAugust 31, 2012British Airways is offering complimentary 20 minutes of free Internet access when you use your mobile device. Log on using Boingo Hotspot.- The Centurion Lounge wins the pre-security lounge wars at LGA. Use your Amex Platinum Card or $50 to get in.
Kyle V.August 16, 2011There's a nice quiet, rarely used waiting area to the right of gate C14. Open power outlet and good views.
American Airlines has power at almost every seat in the waiting area of Terminal D.
Hit up the bar in the southwest terminal if you're hungover, it's the only possible way to deal with LGA
The women's bathroom at the far end of baggage claim is hardly ever crowded, as opposed to the ones throughout the terminals.
Great airport for traveling domestically. Close to the city too! Fly safe all! Cheers Mayor E
Sergio DelfantiApril 25, 2017Professional efficient treatment but airport is under construction. A mess and time consuming.
The shuttle bus from the subway has actually gotten a lot smoother.
Grab something half decent to eat at Au Bon Pain in the American terminal before you go through security.
New express security screening is very fast and easy. You keep all clothes and shoes on!
Fewer and fewer shady ride offers these days. Taxi or bus service are proven transportation methods
Skip the taxi line and take an Uber home. The cost is roughly equal to a cab and way less stressful.
ESTHERJuly 13, 2016Easy to get to gates but it is weird you had to take your own bags to put in plane.
Don't worry. There's a shuttle to take you between Delta flights in Terminals C and D.
Stop by Bisoux (Terminal D) and grab a Death's Door White Whisky cocktail or highball!
Gillian DevereauxMarch 22, 2014Make sure your flight serves liquor. Always tip generosity. #koreanoverjapanese #model #yoe2014
Renovations to Delta Terminal make it feel more high tech and modern. Good job. Now just fix the delays...maybe buy US Scare & take over their terminal.
Michael WisniewskiMarch 18, 2013Bring something to do as you will no doubt be on the Tarmac for an extended period of time.
WORST airport EVER for retrieving lost luggage. Told 4 different times that it was found & being delivered. 24 hours later it is STILL sitting in lost baggage. NO EXCUSE!! AND it was a DIRECT flight!!
Vladimir SmerkisDecember 29, 2012If you have a chance - get urself a rest at the business lounge either aa/united.
LGA a mess right now. Give yourself extra time and be patient.
When arriving you should have your friends or family pick you up at departure gates... Less crowded!
𝙈𝙖.October 11, 2014Cab serving the airport are licensed by New York City Taxi. The fares within New York City are metered.
After my 1hr. 45min. turbulent as fuck flight they announce that we're going to have to sit patiently in the plane for another 30mins or so until a gate opens up for us. -_- fml
At gate 11/12 US Air, there's a power outlet behind the trash can at the bottom of the ramp ;)
Hermann MazardNovember 22, 2010Take the #2/ #3/ #4/ #5 train to 125th Street and catch the M60 bus to the airport. Total cost $2.25; total time to / from midtown 46 minutes.
Always check with your airline the status of your flight!
Flying on Delta to DCA, BOS or ORD? Go to the Marine Air Terminal instead. Or take the Golden Touch shuttle.
The "welcome center" takes a cut of shuttle bookings--if you are a party of 3 a cab may be less, and for 2 its not much more since the shuttles charge per person while cabs are per ride.
there is a food court by the ticketing area for the D gates
Go Jet Blue!!! We flew up the Hudson, due to air traffic. It was gorgeous!!! A great way to end my trip. TY
The Brooklyn Bridge Marriott is a great place to stay. About $30 for a taxi from LGA.
FairleighNovember 6, 2012Significantly grosser than JFK but marginally better when it comes to crowds. Also the commute to Manhattan is shorter and less trafficky.
You can just pay the guy twenty bucks and they'll let you do Pre-Check

"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)."
