    Take a cab from Manhattan. About USD70 and takes 30mins; stress free. Use La Guardia for US domestic flights

    If 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!

    For car rentals, take the Red Line bus shuttle to the rental car stop which is included with Terminal A

    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.

    Terminal C & D are where it’s at! Delta remodeled years ago and it allows you to side steps the construction of B.

    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.

    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

    Highly recommended when looking to catch a flight. Even then that's a stretch, though. Fly on Christmas if you can its quiet and flights are on time!

    Au 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

    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.

    Had 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

    Ranked number two in my list of favorite airports of New York City, behind JFK and ahead of Newark. Still a mess.

    Book a left side window seat for views of Manhattan for flights northbound. Right side for return flights southbound.

    It’s bad right now. I only ever really go out of Terminal B & the drive up to dropoff is horrid, the food options are limited and seemingly everyone is TSA precheck because theres only 1 security line

    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!

    The 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.

    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.

    If you have the option - choose LGA over JFK. Much smaller and quicker moving through and much closer to the city

    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!

    Is 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!

    LaGuardia Airport was the first airport in the U.S. to be built on partially reclaimed land, which was also used in Tokyo and Hong Kong. LGA has outgrown its capacity, terminals feel a bit cramped.

    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.
