Transfer between flights

Most airline-guaranteed transfers take place within a single terminal.

Transfer within one terminal

Because LaGuardia Airport has no international flights, you will never go through immigration. For flights from Canada, you will already go through advance immigration at the Canadian airport.

Therefore, you do not have to leave the transit area when you change planes. The arrivals and departures area is mixed, so you will find yourself at the departure gates as soon as you get off the plane.

Between the furthest ends of each terminal you can move within 15 minutes.

Transfer between terminals

If you need to transfer to another terminal, you will need to go all the way outside, find the stop marked "Shuttle Bus" and take the free bus every 8-10 minutes to the appropriate terminal.
