LGA playbook

Data status
This page is currently backed by 2 live LGA checkpoint readings, so the terminal and checkpoint spread matters more than a single airport-wide average.
Airport context
LaGuardia's Terminal B serves American, Southwest, United, and JetBlue. Terminal C is almost exclusively Delta.
Airport context
Terminal B wait times are notorious for early-morning spikes (6–9 AM)—if you're flying out of B, arrive 2.5 hours early during these windows.
Airport context
Holiday weekends (Thanksgiving, July 4th) at LGA can see PreCheck lines stretch to 45+ minutes—do not rely on a standard 10-minute pass.

Terminals at a glance

Terminal note
LGA operates as three separate airports with no post-security connection. You MUST clear security in the terminal your flight departs from.
Terminal note
Terminal A (Marine Air Terminal) is much smaller and generally faster but only serves Delta Shuttle and Spirit.

Airline notes

Airline routing
Delta is split between Terminal A (Shuttle) and Terminal C (Main Hub). Double-check your app before heading to the airport.
Airline routing
Terminal B is the 'general' terminal for most other major domestic carriers.

Local tips

Local tip
LGA security is divided by terminal (A, B, C). Terminal B is often the biggest bottleneck, with waits sometimes spilling into the check-in hall.
Local tip
If you're flying Delta, check both Terminals A and C—Terminal C is the massive newer hub and handles the bulk of Delta's Newark-area volume.
Local tip
Unlike JFK, changing terminals at LGA pre-security is a hassle involving shuttles; always confirm your terminal before drop-off.
