What's new

LGA's $8B rebuild is essentially complete. Terminal B (Delta partner space) and Terminal C (Delta) are both modern, with extended pier connectors.

Terminals

  • Terminal A (Marine Air Terminal, historic) — limited operations.
  • Terminal B — multiple legacy carriers + American.
  • Terminal C — Delta's hub at LGA.

Getting there

  • LaGuardia Link Q70 bus + 7 train — best public transit option.
  • Lyft/Uber — 30 min off-peak; 60+ in peak.
  • NYC Ferry runs to nearby Astoria with onward shuttle.

Security

  • TSA PreCheck and Clear at both B and C.
  • Allow 75 minutes in busy windows.

Layover and dining

  • Terminal C has the best dining lineup post-renovation.
  • Delta Sky Club at C is the standout lounge.
  • Centurion Lounge at B is excellent for AmEx Platinum holders.
