NYC commuting can be hellish in the evening when people are trying to get home. I would give myself at least 2 hours to be safe especially because there is no train that takes you directly to Laguardia. Also, with all the inconveniences, stops, and other incidents, you don't want to jeopardize missing your flight.





You might wanna take the 2,3,4 or 5 uptown to 125th Street and catch the M60 bus to Laguardia.
Reply:No Direct subway to LGA. Better to take express bus from Port Authority or Grand Central -- and would leave no later than 4 PM if you want to be on the safe side.





You could take the R or 7 Subway but then you have to take a bus to LGA....

Be at Penn Station 34 th St %26amp; 7th Ave no later than 3:50 PM


Take the Long Island Rail Road 1 stop to Woodside


When you get to Penn follow signs for the LIRR


Any train at or before 4:04 PM will cost $ 4.25 after will cost $ 5.75


Buy your ticket at the ticket counters


The trains take 10 minutes to get to Woodside and run ever 10 minutes or so


when you get to Woodside walk back in the direction you came in down the stairs and onto 61st St


Hail a cab to LGA


Actual distance is about 3.5-4 miles and it's local Streets all the way


Figure about %26lt; 10 minutes and about $ 14.00 w/ tip.


If you do it right you can get from Midtown to LGA in under 25 min at rush hour


have fun
