Rye, NY
to LGA Airport.

The Rye Metro-North station is on the New Haven Line, but with bags a car from the door is far easier. Rye is right next to Westchester County Airport, so HPN is especially quick from here.

First leg: onto I-95 or I-287, which meet right in Rye. The rest of the way to LaGuardia: the Hutchinson or I-95 to the Whitestone Bridge and the Grand Central Parkway — LaGuardia is often the quickest of the big three from southern Westchester. That's about 21 mi — 30 min at the quiet hours, 50 min when the Whitestone Bridge approach is backed up.

LGA ranks 2nd closest of the six airports from Rye; HPN is nearest at about 25 min. Enter the address above for the fixed fare from Rye — tolls included.

LaGuardia flights are almost all domestic — that puts your Rye pickup about 3 hr before take-off.

Most LaGuardia flights are domestic — 2 hours at the airport is enough — but the Grand Central Parkway backs up at rush hour. Holiday weekends and Friday afternoons are when we add the most cushion on the Rye route.

Tell us the airline and your chauffeur goes straight to the right LaGuardia terminal — C for Delta, B for most others.

Coming home, the trip back to Rye takes about the same time; we track your flight and the 1 hour of free waiting starts when you land. LaGuardia guide →

Take the New Haven Line from Rye to Harlem–125th Street and take the M60 bus to the terminals — the bus is the only transit link to LaGuardia.

Compare that with a car: one seat, your bags in the trunk, 30 min – 50 min to the curb. LaGuardia has no train at all, so for most people it's a car, a cab or the bus.

The same about 21 mi can take very different times. Here's what we usually see on the way to LGA.
