The airport code is LGA. LaGuardia is situated almost 10 miles from East Manhattan, in East Elmhurst, Queens. You can reach the airport by taking the I-278 E for example. The airport adopted its current name in 1953.

LGA airport doesn’t have international flights aside from some Canadian or Caribbean flights. Still, with only domestic flights, it serves 41 destinations (with some international exception) and almost 171 flights per day.

The airport itself accommodates a great number of passengers with LGA parking facilities. However, the parking lots fill up quickly during peak travel days. To avoid overfilled lots and high parking rates, read below to find out more about parking options.
