LGA to JFK Transfer — What’s the Best Way?
Getting between LaGuardia Airport (LGA) and John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) is one of the most common — and stressful — challenges for travelers in New York City. Whether you’re flying internationally into JFK and connecting through LGA, or vice versa, a reliable transfer can make or break your journey.
With no direct train and limited public transit, finding a fast, comfortable, and predictable ride between these two major NYC airports is essential — especially with tight layovers or late arrivals.
