LGA

Can anyone recommend a car service from LGA to Manhattan? Need to arrange pickup for an elderly relative who uses a walker and can’t wait in a taxi line. I’ve used Carmel in the past but had a bad experience with them recently.

How’s the LGA centurion lounge? Worth arriving early to visit?

I miss the old LGA. Sure, the new LGA is “modern” looking, but did they do no usability studies before building. Am I the only one who prioritizes NOT standing in security lines over “new”? I men old LGA Terminal B (w/PreCheck) was 5 min curb to gate during peak times. New LGA Terminal B is 30+ min curb to gate (w/PreCheck during off-peak.

Anyone else fly into LGA today? Complete madness... My arrival delayed 4.5+ hours, and far from the only one.

I have a 5am flight from Newark. I get done with an event in the city ~11pm. I am thinking of just going to the airport and crashing there for the night. Any one has any experience with it? Is it safe? I know the homeless situation at LGA is bad, is it the same/ better at Ewr.

Moving to NYC soon - how bad is the commute to catch a flight out of EWR?

Is LGA much better?

Why are these bin systems like in LGA and DEN increasing in popularity ?? They feel extremely slow - what’s the point? Fewer operators?

Hi all haven’t flown into LGA in a minute - coming in Southwest when should I call my Uber and is there still a .5 mile walk to the Uber station? Thank you 🙏 genuinely thankful for y’all

With all my flights planned on United through the end of year, I'll be only one PQF away from requalifying for United Gold Status. Is it worth an extra $89 and a few hours of my time to reroute myself to BOS on my way to LGA, just so l get the extra PQF to reach Gold? If I don't, I'll be at Silver next year, but idk what material differences are b/t Gold and Silver besides upgrades at 24h instead of 48h. Worth it?

Planning on traveling to NYC from Florida on the 26th of this month. I've been doing a lot of research but i can't find a direct answer for which would be the best airport to arrive at. We don't have anything set in stone, but we plan on staying maybe around lower Manhattan. This is our first time traveling there and I'd prefer the airport that will be the easiest and/or reasonably priced to get from the airport to that area. What is your advice? So far I'm hearing EWR & JFK > LGA.

Anyone know a place to get a drink at 7a in LGA?

Does Canada honor the 72 hour testing window in case of delays?

I am flying to Toronto this weekend from LGA and the weather is not friendly. The Canadian govt website says test is required 72 hours before the last flight to Canada. I am testing within that window but just in case there are long delays and my test results fall out of the 72 hour window will I be granted access?

Anything going to LGA this Friday (430 p) and want to split car service?

Cheapest way to get from Grand Central to LGA Airport that's not the subway? Are there shuttles? Thank you!

Anyone else living in east Williamsburg/Greenpoint started hearing a lot of planes landing lately? I have been living here for 6 months and I had never heard one. For the past week it's been nonstop. From my memory, whenever I land in LGA, the plane lands from the north. Did that change?

Thinking of switching from delta to American, am I crazy?
I fly from LGA as my home airport. But like the American network and find flights are consistently cheaper when I’m searching for personal travel. I normally get silver/gold status depending on the year. Is my American experience going to be good?

Is the west side actually that bad with getting to LGA/JFK airports compared to the east side or Queens?

I work a travel job (consulting - domestic travel) and plan to move to NY/NJ soon. I know that more flights fly from JFK and LGA than Newark. Should that be part of my consideration when choosing to live in NY or NJ?

I’m from NYC and can fly out of JFK,LGA,EWR. I would like to start building loyalty with an airline/alliance, which one should I go with? I take a lot of international and domestic trips, mostly Europe, and will be taking trips to Asia next year. Is delta a good option?

Is there any where to wait for a friend at LGA airport after arriving? (Not picking her up also arriving at LGA but her flight lands 3 hours later 😓)

Anyone travel out of LGA recently? How have TSA lines been when leaving in the late afternoon

First time back through LGA post facelift. Terminal B (AA) are there restaurants/bars open? Or is a Hudson News my only shot at food

Has anyone flown through lga terminal B? Im wondering if there is clear? For some reason I wasn’t able to get my tsa precheck and when I looked on the southwest site it didn’t list lga as available

Has anyone rented a car from Denver airport’s National exec/emerald aisle recently? How is the car selection there (e.g., SUVs, better sedans)? I went to LGA recently and they barely had 2-3 cars there, no SUVs.

Does anyone have recent experience flying into LGA or EWR? What was the covid procedure / tracking like?

For anyone who has flown out of LGA lately, is TSA super short? I do have precheck. Trying to spend as little time in the airport as possible 🙃

Getting a car?

What do y'all think about the ~550 for parking ~100 for insurance to have a car in the city (let's assume I own it outright) versus renting one when I need it?

PwC's National discount is good enough that a weekend midsize out of LGA is ~125, plus ~75 for the cab to get it.

Struggling with the 8k per year to park it and insure it, but also struggling with having to waste a few hours to get to LGA.

Thoughts?

Has anyone had the covid police visit them?

I Flew into lga last week. Was greeted by 8 us soldiers. Immediately received a text, call, and email from nyc sheriff saying the travelers union would come to check that I'm quarantining. If I'm gone when they come, it's $5k fine

Anyone heard anything about this?
