Getting to the city
Work out how you'll get into the city before you land, not once you're standing outside arrivals. La Guardia is a different airport from Newark Liberty International and John F Kennedy, so a plan that worked from one of those won't automatically fit here. Give yourself a buffer on the way out, because New York traffic can stretch a short ride into a long one, and the run to the terminal is the part of the trip you can't rush. If you're connecting onward, leave a wider gap than feels necessary.
