LaGuardia Airport Map (Most Up-To-Date)
Terminal B and Terminal C at LaGuardia form two separate landside “islands” with different pickup logic: Terminal B works like a stacked, multi-level hub centered on a headhouse and garage bridge, while Terminal C runs as a long, linear curb with door-number anchors and inner/outer lanes. Within New York City’s LaGuardia hub, the biggest navigation risk is the last 500 yards—choosing the wrong level, curb, or lane can turn a simple pickup or transfer into a 15–30 minute do-over.
Map Table

|---|---|---|---|
| Terminal B | Ticketing L3; Arrivals/Bag Claim L2; Ground Transport L1 | Parking Garage L2; Row G; Curb H | L1 HOV; Pillar 2 Q70/M60; Columns 5–7 rental; inter-terminal shuttle zone |
| Terminal C | Linear frontage; door-number wayfinding; inner/outer lanes | Arrivals Inner Lane; Zones 13A–13C | Door 14 area; “Buses & Shuttles” Q70/M60; inter-terminal shuttle; rental shuttle curb |
LaGuardia Airport Map Strategy
- Treat Terminal B as three different terminals stacked vertically: rideshare in the garage on Level 2, taxis/friend pickup on Level 2 curb, and every bus/shuttle on Level 1.
- Assume Terminal B ↔ Terminal C is not airside: plan for landside movement plus TSA re-screening, and go straight to the shuttle nodes (B on Level 1; C at Door 14 “Buses & Shuttles”).
- Use terminal-specific pickup coordinates, not “outside baggage claim”: Terminal B rideshare means bridge-to-garage Level 2 (Row G/Curb H); Terminal C rideshare means Inner Lane zones 13A–13C near Door 13/14.
- Defuse arrivals-level chaos by choosing the correct lane/level first and ignoring curbside solicitors: taxis use staffed stands, buses use the marked bus/shuttle zones, and private pickups work best when the driver stages offsite until the passenger is at the exact door/zone.

In 2026, Terminal B’s garage-based rideshare system and Level 1 ground-transport deck remain the core “wrong-level” trap, while Terminal C continues to run pickups by lane and zone near Door 13/14 with transit clustered at Door 14. Terminal-to-terminal transfers still require going landside and re-clearing security, so maps matter most for shuttle stops, pickup zones, and level selection.

What is the exact walking route (and distance) from Terminal B baggage claim to the inter-terminal shuttle pickup point (the B-side stop)?
Exiting to Level 2 curb is a dead end for the inter-terminal shuttle because the Terminal B shuttle stop is on Level 1 (the HOV/ground transportation deck), not on the arrivals roadway. From Terminal B baggage claim (Level 2), follow signs for Ground Transportation/Buses, take the escalator or elevator down one level to Level 1, exit to the covered roadway, and walk toward the central shuttle loading area near the Columns 5–7 cluster used for shuttles. Walking time is about 3–5 minutes, with distance mainly coming from the vertical descent and a short curbside walk.
What is the exact walking route (and distance) from Terminal C arrivals to the inter-terminal shuttle pickup point used for C→B transfers?
Going to the rideshare Inner Lane zones (13A–13C) is the wrong move because the inter-terminal shuttle boards in the “Buses & Shuttles” area by Door 14. Walking takes about 2–4 minutes from the baggage claim exits, depending on which carousel/door you start from.
| Route step | Landmark triangulation | Walk time |
|---|---|---|
| Start in arrivals/baggage claim | terminal-side doors leading to the curb | 0:00 |
| Follow Ground Transportation / Buses signage | stay inside while moving toward the west end | 1:00–2:00 |
| Target Door 14 | Door 14 as the fixed waypoint for shuttle/transit | 0:30–1:00 |
| Exit at Door 14 to the curb | “Buses & Shuttles” loading zone for Terminal Shuttle | 0:30–1:00 |
Where is the official rideshare pickup zone for Terminal B (exact level/door/zone label shown on the terminal map)?
Terminal B rideshare pickup is in the Terminal B Parking Garage on Level 2, not on the Level 2 terminal curb. From baggage claim, follow “App-Based Rides/Car Services” signs to the enclosed pedestrian bridge into the garage, stay on the same level as the bridge, and load in the signed garage pickup rows: Row G (G1–G6) and the curb labeled Curb H on Level 2.
Where is the official rideshare pickup zone for Terminal C (exact level/door/zone label shown on the terminal map)?
Terminal C rideshare pickup is on the Arrivals Level Inner Lane in Zones 13A–13C near Door 13/14. From baggage claim, exit toward Door 13 or Door 14, stay on the roadway closest to the terminal building (the Inner Lane), and match your driver at the column/zone markers labeled 13A, 13B, or 13C.
What is the exact walking distance from Terminal B arrivals doors to the taxi stand (as mapped, not “outside somewhere”)?
Terminal B’s taxi stand is on the Level 2 arrivals curb at the easternmost end of the frontage. From any arrivals door, turn left (east) and keep walking along the sidewalk until the curb ends at the staffed taxi dispatch area. The mapped walk is roughly 200–400 feet (about 2–3 minutes), depending on which door you exit.
What is the exact walking distance from Terminal C arrivals doors to the taxi stand (as mapped)?
Terminal C’s taxi stand is on the arrivals curb at the designated, signed taxi dispatch area along the terminal frontage. From the arrivals doors, follow the Taxi signs along the curb to the staffed dispatch point; the walk is typically about 1–3 minutes from most exits, depending on where you come out along the linear curb.
Where is Q70 LaGuardia Link pickup located for Terminal B (exact stop position/label on the map)?
Q70 LaGuardia Link at Terminal B picks up on Level 1 at Pillar 2. From baggage claim (Level 2), go down one level to the Ground Transportation/HOV deck, exit to the covered bus roadway, and stand at the curb marked Pillar 2 for MTA buses.
Where is Q70 LaGuardia Link pickup located for Terminal C (exact stop position/label on the map)?
Q70 LaGuardia Link at Terminal C picks up on the arrivals level in the “Buses & Shuttles” area by Door 14. From baggage claim, walk toward the west end of the terminal, exit at Door 14, and wait at the marked bus stop in the Door 14 transit cluster.
Where is the M60 SBS pickup point closest to Terminal B (exact stop placement shown on airport maps/diagrams)?
M60 SBS at Terminal B picks up on Level 1 in the same MTA bus zone as the Q70, centered on Pillar 2. From baggage claim (Level 2), go down to Level 1 Ground Transportation, find the MTA bus signage at/near Pillar 2, and board at that curbside stop (with SBS fare paid per posted instructions).
Where is the M60 SBS pickup point closest to Terminal C (exact stop placement shown on airport maps/diagrams)?
M60 SBS at Terminal C picks up on the arrivals level in the Door 14 transit cluster. From baggage claim, head toward Door 14 and wait in the signed “Buses & Shuttles” zone where MTA buses stop alongside the Q70 in that same Door 14 area.
What is the mapped walking route (and distance) from Terminal B check-in to the TSA checkpoint that serves the largest gate area in Terminal B?
Walking is a short, direct in-terminal move because Terminal B uses a centralized TSA checkpoint behind the Level 3 check-in hall rather than multiple checkpoints. From the Level 3 ticket counters, walk straight toward the central security atrium/queue immediately beyond the counters, then enter the consolidated checkpoint that feeds the concourses. The walk is under about 200 feet and typically takes 1–2 minutes.
What is the mapped walking route (and distance) from Terminal C check-in to the TSA checkpoint that feeds the main Delta concourse gates?
Walking is a short, direct move to a consolidated TSA checkpoint serving the main Delta concourse rather than a scattered set of checkpoints. From the Terminal C departures/check-in hall, follow TSA/Security signs to the centralized checkpoint positioned just off the main atrium (commonly described as to the left of the check-in flow), then enter the main security queue feeding the Delta gate areas. The walk is typically 2–3 minutes from the check-in area, depending on where you start along the counters.
Where is the best “friend pickup” curb zone at Terminal B that minimizes circling (exact level/door/bridge/garage-adjacent point on the map)?
Meeting in the Terminal B Parking Garage via the Level 2 pedestrian bridge is the lowest-circling option because it avoids the stop-and-go arrivals curb. Have the driver enter Terminal B Short Term Parking, and meet at Garage Level 2 near the bridge connection to the terminal (the same bridge used for app-based rides access), then load from the garage rather than the active Level 2 curb. If you must do curbside, use the Level 2 arrivals curb only for immediate loading after the driver stages in the cell phone lot.
Where is the best “friend pickup” curb zone at Terminal C that minimizes circling (exact level/door/bridge/garage-adjacent point on the map)?
Using the Arrivals Level Outer Lanes away from the Door 13/14 rideshare cluster is the best low-circling strategy because the Inner Lane near Zones 13A–13C is optimized for constant Uber/Lyft turnover. Coordinate a pickup at a door not immediately adjacent to the 13A–13C zone markers, exit to the outer-lane curbside area, and load quickly; if curb congestion spikes, the adjacent parking/garage meet-up option can replace curb pickup altogether.
Where is the rental car shuttle pickup for Terminal B (exact curb/zone label shown on airport wayfinding maps)?
Rental car shuttles at Terminal B pick up on Level 1 (the HOV/Ground Transportation deck) in the Columns 5–7 zone. From baggage claim (Level 2), go down to Level 1, exit to the covered bus roadway, and wait at the curb marked between Columns 5 and 7 where rental shuttle loading is signed.
Where is the rental car shuttle pickup for Terminal C (exact curb/zone label shown on airport wayfinding maps)?
Rental car shuttles at Terminal C pick up on the arrivals level at the curb signed for the Transit Center/Rental Car Shuttles, typically the first dedicated rental-shuttle curb area as you exit the terminal frontage. From baggage claim, follow the Rental Car Shuttle signs out to that designated curb and wait in the marked shuttle zone rather than the Door 14 public bus stop.
What is the mapped walking route (and distance) from Terminal B baggage claim to the parking garage pedestrian bridge entrance?
The parking garage bridge at Terminal B is reached from baggage claim on Level 2 by walking to the west end of the terminal and crossing the enclosed skybridge into the garage. From the carousels, follow “Parking/Car Services” signs toward the garage connection, enter the climate-controlled bridge, and continue straight into the garage on the same level. The walk is about 3–5 minutes.
What is the mapped walking route (and distance) from Terminal C baggage claim to the parking garage/ground transport bridge access point?
Walking to Terminal C parking/ground transport access is a short exit-to-adjacent-facility move from the arrivals/baggage claim area. From baggage claim, follow the Parking or Ground Transportation signs out to the curbside frontage, then continue to the adjacent garage/parking access point or marked pedestrian crossing leading into parking. The walk is typically about 2–4 minutes from the carousels, depending on which exit door you use.
