Your guide to booking Tampa to New York LaGuardia Airport flights

Get tips on when to book, when to fly and what to know before your trip.

  • For the best chance at a low fare, aim to book around 7 weeks before you fly. On this route, that window historically saves about 38% versus last-minute pricing (KAYAK booking data, last 12 months).
  • If you can choose when to travel, plan your Tampa to New York LaGuardia Airport trip for January. Fares historically average $188 round-trip in that month - typically $114 less than the most expensive month, which is August (based on the last 12 months).
  • For the best chance of arriving on time, fly with American Airlines. Over the past three months, 89% of American Airlines flights from Tampa to New York LaGuardia Airport arrived on time, slightly above the route average of 81%. When flights on this route arrive late, they're delayed by an average of 2h 32m, so choosing an airline with strong on-time performance can make a difference if you're on a tight schedule.

  • If you're carrying a lot of luggage or are short on time, a cab can be a convenient way to get from LGA to Manhattan. It will cost more than public transportation, with a metered fare and additional surcharges that can vary by time of day. Tipping the driver is not required, though it is appreciated and encouraged.
  • Use one of the nursing rooms at TPA if you need a private place to breastfeed or pump before your flight to LGA.
