The Q70 LaGuardia Link Bus is free and the fastest public transit option, connecting to subway hubs at Jackson Heights–Roosevelt Avenue and 74 St–Broadway, and is the most-used public transit mode. Taxis are readily available outside each terminal with regulated fares, while ride-sharing pick-up areas are clearly marked. Rental car companies are off-airport and reachable by free shuttles, and shuttle/private car services are also authorized.

Booking much earlier than 6 weeks out yields no additional savings, and summer or holiday peaks typically require a bit more lead time to catch the lower end of this window.", "methodology": "Booking-window guidance comes from the same monthly in-house analysis of Priceline's own air booking-summary archive.
