NYC airports & travel question

If staying in Manhattan does it make a huge difference whether you fly into LGA or EWR?
And anyone ever had issues booking a package deal through Expedia, Orbitz, etc?

Depends where in New York you're staying

LaGuardia has typically been 15 mins or so closer for me but I usually book the cheapest fare.
Never booked a package deal through Expedia etc

I'm inpatient, so I prefer LGA because you jump in a cab and go straight to your destination. If traveling alone, consider Newark, but if you have others with you and suitcases, having a cab is preferable imho. If going solo with a small carry on/backpack, Newark is fine (assuming the train from Newark and a cab from Laguardia). Do not recommend a cab from Newark.

It's $100 cab ride from ewr into the city. Half that from lga or jfk

My wife and I just flew into Newark and took subway into NYC and stayed around 44th and 6th. I took a black car service back to the airport due to limited time. LGA is a bit more convenient to your area. Can't comment on Orbitz/Expedia.

My parents live in NYC, though down in the East Village and not in Times Square / Midtown. I always prefer to fly into Newark (EWR) and take NJ Transit (Northeast Corridor) to Penn Station and either walk / Uber.
ETA: depending on the age of your daughter, and the amount of luggage you have, Times Square area is walkable from Penn Station. It's a straight-shot up 7th.

It doesn't mater. There is a train from Newark to NYC that you can take. Costs $10 or so. A Cab from LGA to the midtown will cost around $45.

Have fun that is a great age for a kid. I fly delta and LGA is just fine. Super quick trip in. I like to cab with luggage and not use public transportation.

As long as you don't go through Newark you'll be fine

If you're going to the east side, LGA. West side, EWR.

Newark is typically the most expensive and is a shitty airport. I go back and forth between JFK and LaGuardia but there's not a ton of difference IMO. You can find a taxi into the city from either. LaGuardia is a little closer but sometimes it's easier coming from the South.

As everyone keeps suggesting, I'd go without using orbitz or expedia (book the flights and hotel separately).
Now, I know you pretty much only want flights from LFT for your NYC trip but if you're willing to drive down to New Orleans, for July 13-18 it's $284 MSY-EWR. If you could do July 13-19 it's $246 roundtrip on Delta per person.

I've flown into JFK and LGA and really couldn't tell a huge difference as far as the airport went. Having a car there specifically for you is really nice though...I'd try to book one of those. We did that and booked them to take us back to the airport as we left...that was very convenient!

I've flown lga 5 times in the last year and haven't had any issues. Easy to get to and from

Jfk and ewr have train access to manhattan. Lga has smaller airspace and is more prone to delays. Ewr is a bit more $$$ taxi into Manhattan. All 3 are $45 min and 45min depending where you are going. On a normal day lga would be the quickest taxi ride to/from Manhattan.

We stayed in Manhattan, at the Belvedere. Flew into LGA and out of JFK. Booked through expedia no issues. We went in Dec of '14 for the Christmas tree lighting.
