La Guardia LGA Airport Overview
LaGuardia Airport LGA, only eight miles from midtown Manhattan, is an important domestic airport of on Long Island, N.Y. A perimeter rule prohibits incoming and outgoing flights that exceed 1,500 miles, so most transcontinental and international flights use either JFK Airport or Newark Liberty Airport.

It is located on the Flushing and Bowery Bays, and borders on the areas of Astoria, Jackson Heights & East Elmhurst, and is accessible directly from Grand Central Parkway, which is the extension of I-278.
With an estimated 24 million passengers a year, LaGuardia still served by many airlines offering nonstop daily flights to numerous destinations in the U.S. and Canada, as well as by seasonal flights to Aruba, the Bahamas and Bermuda (as they offer US Border preclearance).
