New York, New York KLGA #19 US airport by passengers
In Queens, about 8 miles from Midtown Manhattan.
LaGuardia now has three terminals, A, B and C, after a rebuild. Terminal B (Air Canada, American, Frontier, JetBlue, Porter, Southwest and United) and Terminal C (Delta, which opened in June 2022 and absorbed the former Terminals C and D) are not connected airside, so changing between them means leaving security. There is no longer a separate Terminal D.
Terminal A, the historic 1940 Marine Air Terminal, has no scheduled airline flights as of 2026. The airport lists it as serving Modern Aviation, and Spirit, its last airline tenant, shut down on May 2, 2026. Older guides that send you to Terminal A for Spirit or other flights are out of date.
A Port Authority perimeter rule generally bars nonstop flights beyond 1,500 miles, with exceptions for Denver and for Saturdays. The free Q70 LaGuardia Link bus to the subway is the main public transit link, because the AirTrain LaGuardia project was cancelled in 2023.
Main airlines: Delta operates alone in Terminal C. American, United, Southwest, JetBlue, Frontier, Air Canada and Porter use Terminal B.
We are waiting for the next FAA update. Check your airline for the status of a specific flight.
