The Biergarten in Terminal C belts out indie jams and you can order all the sauerkraut and beer your heart desires via iPad, which is awesome because people suck.
Clarence MasonFebruary 13, 2015Baggage claim downstairs is busy and a little tight in space. It's 11pm on a Thursday.. I'm here for All Star Weekend so that may play a role.
If you're on an ideal flight, try and get a snapshot of the Manhattan skyline from the left side of the plane day or night!
It's a new year, let the travel begin. I'm looking forward to the world of salon, spas and resorts I will visit this year. I hope I find my way to yours while on the journey. #lovemyjob
The new Terminal C at LaGuardia is very nice now. Better food options too. The new Delta Sky Lounge is very nice but has a waiting line. TSA can get slow even TSA Pre and Clear so allow extra time
Marie La RueDecember 16, 2018Dreaded my 6am visit to sad, depressing Terminal B... discovered they had completed food court renovations! Enjoyed Irving Coffee Roasters. Even got help checking in my bag. Getting to LGA still awful
John HowardApril 5, 2019Lots of construction and a ways to go. Food is pricey, it is NY so expect that. When finished this will be a great AIRPORT. Maybe in 2021.
If you’re departing from the new terminal, bring your walking shoes! The walk to the gates is well over 10mins!
If you're not taking a car service, take Q70 bus to Roosevelt, which connects to several trains that take you into the city! Fast-ish & save your $$ for fun in the city!- Shalet VargheseNovember 21, 2013IPads available to everybody for browsing. A nice touch. Although most of be people carry their own device. A lot of electrical outlets for charging. Excellent!Seats at the waiting area is not comfy.

Cecily McCulloughMarch 18, 2018Don’t count on TSA precheck here some days they decide to close it, and just yell at you instead of explain why.
DanJanuary 21, 2015Taxi's are always waiting if you go all the way to the end of baggage claim and just after you turn the corner. Facing the doors turn right and walk all the way to the end.
The taxi queue at Terminal B is ridiculously long. Order a Lyft or Uber as soon as you step off the plane.
Centurion lounge outside security in Terminal B is my favorite thing.
Nov 2016 until further notice, add an addition 30min to 1 hour for your travel plans here. The construction will be a headache (and a missed flight) for the uninitiated.
Omar LoggiaAugust 16, 2016There's a MetroCard vending machine right where you catch the M-60 bus (Manhattan-LaGuardia bus). From baggage claim level, follow signs to "buses to Manhattan." also buy at the convenience stores
City Food ToursMarch 20, 2012Whether u r a local or visitor there's plenty 2 do in the Big Apple! Consider City Food Tours 4 a fun & filling way 2 explore. If ur stuck at LAG, make ur own mini-tour @Papaya King & Joey's NY Pizza
Tim O'NeillMarch 18, 2013Transport into Manhattan is easy...take the M60 bus from LaGuardia to 125th St, and grab the green line subway downtown. Each leg is $2.50 with a Metrocard -- beats paying $40 for a cab!
Quick easy gateway. I specially like the Delta Marine Terminal. So retro I feel transported to the 60's!
Think of the best airport in the world with the most thought out process on getting in and out. Then take all its garbage and dump it in Queens.
Anne WSeptember 21, 2013Bisoux is fantastic food and adult-beverage wise. Just make sure you don't get too caught up in sampling the goods or else you might get paged for your flight. Not that I'd know. ;-)
Larry KhulmannJune 1, 2017LaGuardia is a tough airport to navigate. Leave it to the experts at Aaron Limousines Ltd to get you there and back www.limo.li or 516-236-5735 for a safe affordable ride to and from Long Island
in at least the D gates in terminal B, there aren't a lot of dining options past the tsa screening area, so if you're hungry, i would suggest eating prior to going through security
This has become one of best close-in airports anywhere. American and Delta terminals well thought out.
LGA has made vast improvements from the time Biden called it a "third world country" There's still a long way to go, but some terminals are fantastic now with improved dining and restrooms, esp Term C
Get here early! May 2016: security lines were LONG at 7am on a Friday Terminal B Gate C - even with pre-check. Thankfully I was saved by a United agent trying to clear the flight!
The best thing about LGA is the Amex Centurion Club. (You must be an Amex Platinum card holder to have access).- LaGuardia Airport (LGA)January 31, 2014Flying through La Guardia Airport today? We have yummy food sampling events with Sabra hummus (near Gate D, before security) & PepsiNEXT (near Gate C, before security) from 1-5pm. Read more

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.
Joe KolackiSeptember 16, 2013Flying in or out make sure you pick a window seat on the left side to enjoy the best view of the city
Jenny KJuly 25, 2014Air Canada terminal is small but cozy. Excellent purified water filling station for bottles so bring your Sigg/Nalgene etc.
Be sure to get a shoe shine from John outside the Admirals Club. Not only a great shine but a great guy and he'll do a free brush next time you swing by.
Aaron GelbmanFebruary 25, 2017If you were coming out here from Long Island make sure you do not bring your own car. Instead book round trip service with Aaron Limousines Ltd
FlightCenter.comJanuary 3, 2012TSA TIP #3 Remove your laptop(s) and shoes/belts while waiting in line for the x-ray machines and carry them in your hands to be ready for the bins, remember laptops are placed in a bin by itself.
Riley the AussieJuly 20, 2012Despite it costing $150 to travel with a pet on most airlines, at least this airport is very pet friendly. Lots of space to rest, outside of the bag of course.
Christine WagnerAugust 21, 2014The staff for Delta were incredibly nice. I had never flown before and was nervous. Everything was clearly labeled and there were kiosks everywhere for people just to help if you had a question.
Carlos NunezSeptember 16, 2018Flying Delta? You will love LGA. Flying anything else? You will hate LGA. If you’re in Terminal B, there is another food court to the right of United’s check-in counters.

Delta Terminal has a great breakfast/ lunch buffet & Salad bar! U can sit at gates 1 & 2 to eat & charge all ur stuff before or after ur flight:) they also serve from "Crust" at these gates!
Sakib RasulNovember 14, 2021Busy, but clean and beautiful. Tons of dining and shopping options, too.
Here's my tip. Do everything in your power to get the hell out of this airport at your fastest pace. This place is the werst. We need a new spelling for how miserable of a building collection it is.
First time flying for business in a while. I hear the new LGA is incredible. Looking forward to seeing what they have done to the place.
Christopher LeeJune 8, 2023Remodeled terminal is great, clean and modern, welcome to the 21st century NYC
Due to recent construction, add in an extra 35 mins to your "internal commute" as the signs are not clear on how to reach to your desired terminal. This tip is valid until their completion in 2020.
