Most convenient airport in NYC... basically all you need to know
It's hell! But EWR is not any better. Sorry Op
It sucks but is more convenient than JFK or EWR. Give yourself plenty of time when going into LGA on Thursday afternoon. Traffic and delays are unpredictable. Typically around an hour from midtown, 45 minutes if lucky. Sometimes longer.
OP you should be doing better in EWR, LGA will require you to cross all manhattan or loop around theough the fdr.
Battery park - I'd take the path across the river to avoid traffic and call uber from jersey city to ewr.
Honestly, EWR isn't that bad. Once you clear Manhattan, it's smooth sailing. LGA/JFK take forever to get to when there's traffic (read: always)
I'm from NY and first fly out choice is LGA.. its closer
Certain terminals are worse than others. United flies out of a congested old terminal with practically no decent food options.
It's a mess
I'll be traveling from near battery park if that helps with travel suggestions.
Takes forever to get into and out of. Not bad once you are inside. Pre-Check in Delta terminals is usually pretty efficient. If you are in Terminal B then definitely hit the Centurion lounge. Great place to spend time during your inevitable flight delays.
Fly delta if u r going into lga. More reliable than the other airlines and terms c and d are less impacted by the construction
There are a ton of ways to get to LGA from Battery Park. Completely disagree that EWR is better. And it depends on your airline choice. The route that was usually fastest for me around 3:30 on a Thurs was across the Brooklyn Bridge and up the BQE to Grand Central Parkway/LGA or all the up the FDR to the Triboro. Check the traffic and you'll be ok. Give yourself an hour. And hoping you have status/precheck - if so - Security is easy. Way better than JFK/EWR.
It's a shit shoe.
A4 has it right
Cab line (out of central terminal at least) is an absolute cluster fuck. Call an uber as soon as you get to the gate (if in economy) land (if in first) instead.
All NY airports suck in comparison to most cities on the planet. I am a native NYer. LGA is the easiest to get to but all 3 are subject to the hellish traffic we endure every fucking day here. Leave yourself 90 minutes to get to and from unless you're going between midnight and 6am.
No kidding D5. This shitshow is another reason I love the Bay. SFO and OAK are so easy to get to in multiple methods of transportation
