About LaGuardia Airport

LaGuardia's close-in location makes it sensitive to New York area weather. Nor'easters and summer storms cause frequent delays.

Is LaGuardia Airport turbulent?

LaGuardia shares the New York area's challenging weather: winter nor'easters, summer thunderstorms, and chronic congestion that amplifies any delay. The airport's compact footprint on Flushing Bay leaves no margin for error when weather reduces capacity. Wind gusts during storms can reach 50 mph, and snow causes extensive de-icing delays.

  • October 2025 nor'easter caused 266 cancellations and 461 delays
  • Wind gusts during storms regularly reach 50 mph
  • Shares congested airspace with JFK and Newark
Why is LaGuardia so delay-prone?

LaGuardia operates at maximum capacity under ideal conditions, leaving zero buffer for weather. It shares congested airspace with JFK and Newark, so problems at any airport affect all three. The compact runway layout limits recovery options. When weather hits, delays of 4+ hours are not unusual.

When is the best time to fly from LaGuardia?

September and October typically offer the best conditions. Early morning flights beat the daily congestion buildup. Winter nor'easters (November-March) bring the highest delay risk. Summer thunderstorm season can cause multi-hour ground stops. Build generous connection time regardless of season.

Is turbulence at New York dangerous?

No. Modern aircraft are designed to withstand forces far stronger than turbulence. While bumps can feel uncomfortable, they do not pose a safety risk. Pilots actively avoid rough air whenever possible. Learn more about turbulence

Best seats to reduce turbulence when flying from New York?

Seats near the wings feel the least movement because they are closest to the aircraft's center of gravity. Seats at the back of the aircraft feel turbulence more strongly. Learn more about seat selection
