Subway to the Sky? Not Quite Yet
So, you're dreaming of hopping on the subway, closing your eyes, and magically appearing at LaGuardia Airport? Well, I hate to burst your bubble, but unless you've got a time machine hidden in your backpack, that's not happening.
The Subway and LGA: A Love Story (That Never Was)
New York City is famous for its iconic subway system. It's a maze, a beast, a lifeline – but it's definitely not a direct route to your flight. LGA, for all its charm (okay, maybe not all its charm), is still stuck in the pre-underground age.
Imagine the possibilities, though! A subway train that could whisk you past the crowds and chaos of the airport, straight to your gate. No more hailing cabs, dealing with traffic, or worrying about missing your flight. Sigh. One can dream, right?
How to Get to LGA Without Turning into a Pretzel
Don't despair, fellow traveler! Getting to LGA is still doable, even without the magic of the subway. Here are your main options:
- Bus it: The M60 bus is your trusty steed for this journey. It's not the fastest, but it's reliable and gets the job done.
- Train and bus combo: Take the subway or LIRR to Jackson Heights-Roosevelt Avenue, then hop on the Q70 bus. It's a bit more complicated but can be quicker.
