Flying in to LaGuardia. Need to get into Manhattan. Reading some bad reviews of some shuttles. Does the Travel Board have a favorite? The subway could be an option I guess, but I don't like the idea of taking the subway with my luggage. Suggestions?

What airline into LGA? I've done the subway to roosevelt ave (think its the E for $2.75) then take the Q70 bus for $5 to the Delta terminal. Grand total of $7.75 and don't have to deal with the terrible traffic. I believe it's a different bus to get to the jetblue terminal at lga (marine air terminal)

The Long Island railroad is the best way to get to JFK from Penn station

Suck it up and pay for a cab. That’s unfortunately your best bet.

It’s why I prefer to fly into Newark.

Get you a black car for basically the same price as a cab and then you won’t have to smell Middle Eastern BO or sit on a cracked pleather seat.

L.I.R.R. has been my only experience on that route but admittedly I don’t have many reps.

Download the Juno app. You get 30% off first few rides. I got from soho to LGA for less than $30 a month or two ago.

Uber if the traffic is ok, if not, subway. The Q70 bus from LGA to Roosevelt Ave is currently free and has been for awhile. The subway from there is the F line which will take you to to midtown in just a few stops.

Even when I travel for work and will be reimbursed for car service expense, I take the train if the traffic is bad.

To your original concern, yes the car services like Dial 7 and Carmel suck from my limited experience.

I saw some pretty harsh reviews on them. Care to elaborate on your experience?

I'm sure those reviews were honest, but I've had no issues at all in my experience. Prompt & professional each time directly to my hotel.

Take a lyft or uber.

Not sure where your going in manhattan, but you can take an uber to 125th subway station, hop on the 4,5,6 train and it'll take you straight to grand central.

Or just sack up and take a cab, lfyt, uber to wherever you're going.

Or q70 bus to the 7 train.

We used Dial 7 last time and didn’t have any issues/complaints.
