Connections Guide
Things to know about connecting flights
LaGuardia has three terminals, so it is possible you may arrive at one terminal and depart from another. Be sure to check your airline app or in-terminal monitors for your next gate. All terminals are connected by the on-airport bus, which you can take for free between terminals. Travelers can also use a pedestrian path to connect between Terminal B and Terminal C.
If you booked separate tickets, you may need to complete full arrival procedures. This includes collecting your checked baggage, then checking in and re‑checking your bags with the connecting airline.
