No AirTrain at LaGuardia
Unlike JFK and Newark, LaGuardia has no rail connection to Manhattan. There is no subway, no AirTrain, and no LIRR. Your options are car service, yellow taxi, rideshare, or bus. For most travelers with luggage, a car service is the most practical choice — our LaGuardia airport car service guide covers pricing, pickup logistics, and how to choose a provider.
Terminal C — Delta's Terminal
Delta Air Lines and Delta Connection use Terminal C. The new facility consolidated the former Terminals C and D; Terminal A is the separate historic Marine Air Terminal. The state announcement of Terminal C's opening documents the June 2022 milestone.
Use Terminal C for Delta check-in, baggage claim and your chauffeur meeting instructions. Check the gate on your boarding pass and allow time to walk through the concourse. A gate change within C does not mean you should travel to the Marine Air Terminal.
Airlines at Terminal C
- Delta Air Lines
- Delta Connection
Lounges at Terminal C
Delta Sky Club serves eligible passengers in Terminal C. Check Delta's access policy for your ticket, membership or credit card. A domestic First Class ticket alone does not include entry.
Dining at Terminal C
Use the airport dining directory to find restaurants near your assigned Terminal C gate. Check opening hours before relying on a restaurant for an early departure or late arrival.
Terminal B — The Central Terminal Building
Terminal B serves Air Canada, American, Frontier, JetBlue, Porter, Southwest and United in the current airport directory. Its rebuilt arrivals and departures hall and concourses are separate from Delta's Terminal C.
Terminal B has eastern and western concourses connected to the main building by pedestrian bridges. Use the gate number on your boarding pass and terminal screens, rather than an old concourse letter, to choose the correct bridge.
Airlines at Terminal B
- American Airlines
- Southwest Airlines
- United Airlines
- Air Canada
- Porter Airlines
- Frontier Airlines
- JetBlue
Lounges at Terminal B
- American Airlines Admirals Club — Admirals Club members and eligible First/Business Class passengers on American flights
- Credit card lounges — Terminal B has the Centurion Lounge and Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club. Eligibility and guest limits vary; verify access before travel.
Dining at Terminal B
Terminal B has improved significantly with the rebuild. Options include Cibo Express (grab-and-go), Naturally Delicious, Shake Shack, Dunkin', and several fast-casual options in the central hall. The dining selection is more limited than JFK but adequate for most flights.

Is there a train to LaGuardia Airport?
No. LaGuardia is the only major New York City airport without a rail connection. Transportation options are limited to car service, taxi, rideshare, or buses (the M60 Select Bus Service from 125th Street, and the Q70 express bus from Jackson Heights/74th Street–Roosevelt Ave subway station). A car service to Midtown Manhattan takes 20–40 minutes without traffic.
How much is a car service from LaGuardia to Manhattan?
Detailed Drivers transfer minimum estimates are $130 for a Business Sedan and $160 for a First Class SUV, all-in. These are not LGA-to-Manhattan route quotes. Enter the exact pickup and destination in the booking calculator for a trip-specific price. The drive is 20–45 minutes depending on traffic. Call (888) 420-0177.
Where do I meet my car service driver at LaGuardia?
Confirm the meeting point in your booking and chauffeur text after collecting your bags. Delta arrives at Terminal C; the other airlines listed in the airport directory use B. Detailed Drivers sends the exact chauffeur location. Follow current signs rather than assuming taxi or ride-app areas are the same as prearranged car-service pickup.
Is LaGuardia closer to Manhattan than JFK?
Yes. LaGuardia is approximately 8 miles from Midtown Manhattan, compared to JFK's 16 miles. In light traffic, LGA to Midtown takes 20–25 minutes. However, LGA is on the Grand Central Parkway which can back up significantly during rush hours, making JFK sometimes comparable in actual travel time.
What lounges are at LaGuardia Airport?
Delta Sky Club is in Terminal C. Terminal B has airline lounges plus the American Express Centurion Lounge and Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club. Access depends on the lounge, same-day flight, eligible membership or card, and current visit limits; a First Class ticket alone does not guarantee Delta Sky Club access.
What is the new LaGuardia terminal?
The rebuilt Terminal B and Delta Terminal C are the main parts of the LaGuardia redevelopment. Terminal C opened in June 2022 and consolidated the former C and D terminals. Terminal A remains the historic Marine Air Terminal; it is not the new Delta terminal.
How far is LaGuardia from Midtown Manhattan?
LaGuardia Airport is approximately 8 miles from Midtown Manhattan. By car service, this takes 20–40 minutes in normal traffic conditions. During rush hours (7–10am and 4–7pm weekdays), the Grand Central Parkway and Queens-Midtown Tunnel approaches can extend travel time to 60 minutes or more.
Need a Ride from LaGuardia?
Detailed Drivers provides flat-rate black car service from both LaGuardia terminals. Professional chauffeurs, flight tracking, and 60-minute free wait. Available 24/7.
