    TSA TIP #4 When loading your belongings onto the x-ray belts load them in an order to help expedite at the other end. THINK, (a) suit case first, (b) laptop bags/purse, & (c) your shoe & belts tray.

    TSA 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.

    look 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!

    TSA 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

    Since 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

    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.

    Dial 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

    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.

    Even 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!

    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.

    The 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.

    If 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!

    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).

    Order a breakfast sandwich from Centerplate with eggs only (on ciabatta). It's quite massive and costs $3.

    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!

    Airport 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

    If 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.

    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.

    A cab from the city to LGA or vice versa should run about $36. Don't go for the smooth talking curbside attendants trying to get you into the city for $65. Scammy

    If 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.

    It's fine. iPads everywhere, even when you sit at a restaurant. You have to move it aside to chat with the person you are with. Oh, and you have to order all foods through the app on the iPad.
