What is the difference between the two airports in NYC?|111836

What is the distance between them, and how do I know what airport to fly into from Detroit?

JFK and LaGuardia are in different places. LaGuardia is more closer to Manhattan and it_s much smaller. LaGuardia is located in Flushing and JFK is around Jamaica...almost next to Brooklyn. It depends what airline you_re buying the tickets from so by there, you_ll know.

distance from where u are to the airport or where your going...different times and sometimes prices youll have to look that up

LaGuardia Airport has many delays because according to news report, Airport Traffic Control Tower cannot see the planes well because of their building that big.
LaGuardia Airport only mostly used by domestic flights only and it_s small.

John F. Kennedy International Airport is big with less delays.

This site will help you which airports in NYC, and Newark you should avoid.
According to Top Worth Delay for November 2006 was 29.6% for LGA.

For example my experience.
My Continental Airline 5875 flight at 12:59pm departure arrive LaGuardia Runaway at 13:22.
It was small plane like size of private charter.
Disable with service animal, blind boarded and everyone boardes at 13:50.
We started moving at 14:02, and then takeoff at 14:17 and it arrive at Cleveland Hopkins around 15:39 late!!

There is no airtrain from LGA if you plan on taking the subway into the city. Otherwise, I generally go with which airport has the cheaper prices. Both airports have some of the highest rates of delays in the country.

Well, generally, JFK has fewer delays. I guess it depends on your utimate destination. JFK is south and La Guardia is North.

The distance between them is about 11 miles. LaGuardia is smaller and located in northern Queens, JFK is bigger and located in southern Queens.

From Detroit it_ll be on your flight information. It would be better to fly into JFK though.

They about 15 miles from each other. JFK is larger, because it handles international flights, while LaGuardia is small and handles national flights. The only problem with LGA is that there_s always delays whenever there is inclement weather. So you may want to contact you airline before flying to New York.

Good luck and happy travel

The distance between them is like 8 miles or 15 mins away. I would choose JFK, its bigger with less delays. LGA airport is smaller and is first to experience delays from a weather related issue, like rain, heavy wind. You can contact any of the major airlines for pricing, then make your decision. good luck.
