The security line at D terminal moves pretty well as compared to other domestic airports.
Christina HolyfieldMay 17, 2014A very unfortunate place to have to fly from. Long lines and skinny isles. Always wear socks
Brad AbbottSeptember 4, 2013If you are flying American Airlines grab good before going through security. There isn't anything but pre packaged sandwiches @ the D gates.
These new charging stations are sanity savers although none in the food court wouldn't charge my iphone but the ones at the welcome center would.
Jan 2021 - construction on term D is full force so allow a little extra time
Melania SpagnoliDecember 9, 2014I hate this airport. If you need to take the shuttle to the Budget car rental just pray for it to come and pick you up. I had to wait 1 hour and in the end I took a taxi!!
Ask for your livery cab driver to pick you up upstairs instead of downstairs to avoid traffic
DjordjeJuly 17, 2015Probably the worst airport in the United States, or even in the western world. Joe Biden's comparation of LaGuardia to a third world country is the most on point comment he has ever made.
Delta shuttle to Boston: sit in back b/c you can exit from rear and get to cab line first
If you need a car service, www.cabofthefuture.com is great... I always use a yellow cab to go home from the airport, but on the way there I sometimes use a car and Tom Brennan rocks!
The worst airport in America and I travel every single week for a living. Many polls show it's always in the bottom 3. If you happen to be in the wrong terminal you may not have air conditioning
If you ate flying delta - make sure to pick the security line on the left. The one in the right shares a guard with the sky priority line which means it moves twice as slow
C terminal could certainly use a renovation. Duck tape holding sinks together in ladies room.
Ofir WeinstockApril 25, 2019The latest rebuild is already looking sharp! Can’t wait until it’s done!
No trains from Manhattan go here, so it’s taxi, Uber or Lyft. From lower Manhattan much more convenient than JFK.
Chris BakerFebruary 29, 2012LGA has the most power outlets than any other airport I have been in, what a convenience!
LGA has always been dank and unpleasant. Today I got off the plane in Terminal B and didnt recognize the place! Well played, New York. Well played.
Craig FowlarJuly 11, 2012Just arrived? Someone walks up asking if you need a taxi? Likely the gypsy cabs. All cash only, no meters and not licensed. Keep aware of what you're climbing in to.
James UnderbergApril 13, 2015Delta Terminals C & D - and the Lovely old Marine Air Terminal ....anything else stay away -
Getting better with gluten-free choices for snacks though prepare to be underwhelmed by the restaurant options.
Eepeng CheongFebruary 18, 2013The TSA staff at security checkpoints are more polite (and generally nicer) than those at JFK.
Smart way: N train to Queens (B'way stop), gypsy cab to the airport ($15) = 1 hour during rush hour in the rain.
DavidJuly 10, 2012There's no tram once you pass through security. Which means if you belong to a private club (Admirals Club, etc.) on a different airline, you're SOL. No terminal access. FIX THIS.
Come WAY early or you'll never get through check in and security
Patrick HartyMarch 19, 2013There's always a problems whenever I get to this airport from anywhere! Prepare to wait!
Costas LazaridesDecember 21, 2012In most NY airports and Philadelphia today (less in Newark) I feel I am not in the US (to put it mildly). Abrupt, underpaid, uneducated staff dealing with thousands of passengers. Not nice.
Dial 7 Car & Limousine ServiceApril 27, 2012LaGuardia is one of our prime locations. Our drivers and operators are standing by to serve you. 212-777-7777.
Extend your LGA visit to take advantage of the white sandy beaches and bucolic scenery.
Gates OuimetteApril 14, 2014Wouldn't recommend USAirways/American combo flight to get from Boston to Norfolk, VA. Different terminal at LGA means shuttle bus and the pleasure of going thru security a 2nd time...
If you want a beer before flying you won't find one once you go through security
Christopher StansfieldFebruary 19, 2013Get here two hours early. Unless you're light's before 6:30 AM. Then just hope TSA workers decide to show up.
Eat breakfast before you go, or at the Au Bon Pain before security. There isn't anything worth eating on the other side of the security.
Dan RitchelMay 12, 2014Exit to the taxis thru the far right of baggage claim when you travel American Airlines.
mTriniDeeMay 16, 2013When there are only 20 people on the plane, is it really necessary to call all the zones? You might as well call us by name.
If you are flying united or AA - Make sure you eat before going through security!!!
The only airport I've been that security actually check your luggage receipt before you leave the baggage claim area!
leo kyivOctober 17, 2019They made uber pickup super inconvenient. u have to wait 30-60 minutes in the line just to get to the car with the fuc*ing code then there is terrible traffic to get out of airport. avoid LaGuardia!
Don't get stuck in line for a cab. Download Uber instead. Pick up in minutes. Order the cab when you're almost out the front door, NOT from the plane.
If you're eligible for TSA PRE, you can make it through security in less than 3 min. I just did. #win
Mitchell LuoFebruary 28, 2014The shuttle between terminals is downstairs, if you also get confused like I do by the signage.
Casey RogersFebruary 20, 2012In the words of Louis CK, stop complaining and enjoy the miracle that is human flight. You're sitting on a chair.. in the sky.
Delta has TSA-pre only at terminal D so if you're flying out of C you'll likely be quicker going to D and them walking over post security.
Dale PennAugust 25, 2013TSA Pre-check is so worth the fee. Shoes and belts stay on. No lines! Woo hoo!
The Delta terminal just got a nice little make over. Check out the new food and charging station options.
Food market can be a little confusing. No big name brands but decent options for all types of food. Artichoke is just okay for 🍕.

"The new terminal is great. However airport prices will always be over the top!"

"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)."
