Why is there no subway line between Manhattan and LaGuardia Airport?

Probably because the mob boss of the Transit Union and the mob boss of the Taxi union worked out a little "wink wink" deal so that there would be no trains from LaGuardia to Manhattan. It's the only reasonable explanation. As a result, everybody flying in and out of LaGuardia gets the "privilege" of paying $40 for a cab ride and sit in long traffic jams.

Is there a subway connection between La Guardia airport and John F. Kennedy airport?
No, there is no subway connection between LaGuardia and JFK, but there is a private bus service that you can take that connect the two airports. As I recall, it costs about $10-15 one way.
Which city is served by LaGuardia airport?
LaGuardia Airport is located in northern Queens and south of the Bronx. It is a short bus/subway trip to most of the city. Beware that there are more flight delays started at LaGuardia than anywhere else in the country.
Does the Long Island Rail Road have a stop at LaGuardia Airport?
No, it doesn't. LaGuardia is absurdly inaccessible by public transportation. There's no subway stop, and no LIRR stop. The only way to get there by public transportation is the city buses.The M60 bus runs between Manhattan and LaGuardia, also making a Queens stop at Astoria Boulevard and 31st Street (next to the Astoria Boulevard subway station on the N and Qtrains). There are also a few Queens buses that go to LaGuardia.For information on the M60 and other LaGuardia-bound buses, see the Related Question below.
What is the best airport to arrive in New York city?
Assuming you're traveling to Manhattan, any of the three major airports will work (LaGuardia, Newark or JFK). However, if you are planning to use public transportation, you should choose Newark or JFK, because LaGuardia does not have a rail station. Newark Liberty International Airport is served by NJ Transit and Amtrak trains. JFK is connected by AirTrain to the subway and to the Long Island Rail Road station in Jamaica, Queens. (The trip time from Newark is usually slightly shorter.)
How do you get from la guardia airport to Grand Central Station?
The easiest and nicest way to travel between these is by bus. There is a very fine service that has an office right across the street from Grand Central. The ride takes approximately 45 minutes and is quite comfortable and affordable. I have used the subway system and this bus service in the past for travel from LaGuardia.
How you travel to Brooklyn?
You can get to Brooklyn by airplane (to JFK or LaGuardia, then take a taxi), by NYC subway, by Long Island Railroad, by taxi, by bus (including Greyhound), by water taxi, by bicycle or by walking. Three bridges and a tunnel connect Brooklyn to Manhattan. No more streetcars, sorry. Amtrak doesn't stop in Brooklyn, but does in nearby Manhattan.

How do you get to LaGuardia Airport on public transportation?
Subway/Bus Combo to LGA - Cheapest MethodWith a little exercise, you can travel to La Guardia Airport for just $2. There are two basic ways to do this - the first is to get to any New York subway station where you can make a free transfer to the M60 LaGuardia bus - This bus runs across 125st in Manhattan and then into Queens and up to La Guardia Airport - the most optimal subway stations to get this bus are Astoria Boulevard in Queens (N and W lines) or one of the three 125 Street stations in Manhattan that serve 4,5 and 6 lines, 2 and 3 lines or the A,B,C,D lines. If you exit one of these stations you will find an M60 MTA bus that is both regular and reliable. Many of our subway testers have found the Astoria Boulevard route is the best, but that assumes that the N and W lines are running properly. This method of getting to La Guardia Airport will take about 45 minutes from midtown Manhattan, longer if you use one of the more westerly subway stations. If that section of New York is having problems (The 2006 power outage in Queens that lasted 5 days played havoc with the New York Subway system) a popular alternative is to take the 7 train out to 74th Street in Corona (it has escalators, and the E, F, G, R, and V trains also stop there), go downstairs, and ride the Q33 bus to LGA (also a free transfer with your MetroCard). It, too, takes about 20 minutes after your 15-minute ride on the 7 train. If it's a weekday, remember to take a local 7 train, as express trains bypass 74th Street. Keep in mind, however, that if you're going to the Marine Air Terminal, you need to take the Q47 bus from 74th Street, since the Q33 does not stop there.Going to LGA on the Subway/Bus At NightAt night, the options available to those using public transit to reach LaGuardia Airport change a bit. On the West side, only the 2 train runs to 125th Street, and on the East side only the 4 and 6 trains go to 125th. The 7 train always runs to 74th Street, day or night. After midnight, the trains run every 20 minutes, and the buses to LaGuardia are almost an hour apart. If you're catching a red-eye out of LGA, consult www.mta.info before you go. During the day, the buses and trains run about 8-10 minutes apart. Don't forget to enjoy the spectacular views of Manhattan if you're riding the 7 train, right after it emerges from Hunterspoint Avenue.All in all, using the bus/train combination to get to LaGuardia is usually relatively painless, except of course during the 7-10 AM and 4-8 PM rush hours, when crowds will make movement with luggage challenging.
Brooklyn Hotels: Affordable Lodging In NYC?
Lodging in Manhattan is the most expensive option in New York City. Visitors can save money on hotels by staying in the nearby borough of Brooklyn. The waterfront Brooklyn hotels along the East River offer great panoramic views of Manhattan. Additionally, there is convenient access to the subway system. In fact, Brooklyn is closer to JFK Airport, the largest airport in the NYC area, than Manhattan is.
