    About TSA Security at LaGuardia

    LaGuardia Airport has been significantly modernized with a new Central Terminal Building, which consolidates checkpoints into two primary security areas — one serving Terminal B (the new main terminal) and one serving the older Terminal C. TSA PreCheck is available at both checkpoints. LaGuardia does not serve international destinations (no customs). Terminal B's expanded checkpoint facilities have meaningfully reduced average wait times post-renovation. Ground transportation to LaGuardia remains a challenge — plan extra time for car, taxi, or bus travel especially during weekday rush hours.
