How to Get from La Guardia Airport to New York City

So you've finally arrived in the Big Apple, but don't know how to get from the airport to the city? Here is your quick guide to ground transportation options at La Guardia Airport in New York.

First of all, if you are completely clueless on how to get into New York City from La Guardia Airport, stop by the Ground Transportation desk near the baggage claim area. There, a staff member can inform you of all the various modes of transportation available from La Guardia to New York City. If your destination is not actually Manhattan, then the personnel at the ground transportation desk can also tell you the best ways to get to your destination, wherever that may be.

Taxi: Probably the simplest option, but not necessarily the cheapest. To take a taxi from the airport into Manhattan, all you need to do is to follow the signs from the baggage claim area to the taxi stand. There will be a taxi "dispatcher" who will guide you to the next available taxi. Taxis into New York City will run approximately $25 (without traffic), but you will also need to include tolls ($5) and tip.
