Which subway/bus combination did you take?
4/5 to the M60
Big mistake, especially if you have luggage. The M-60 starts its run on the west side of Manhattan. By the time it gets to Lexington Avenue, it has had plenty of time to pick up passengers. And, as you noted, it goes to the other LGA terminals first, before getting to the Marine Air Terminal.

Next time, try the E or R to Jackson Heights. You get to cross the East River by subway, rather than bus, and at Roosevelt Avenue there are two separate buses to LGA: the Q-47, which only serves the Marine Air Terminal, and the Q-33, which serves all the other terminals. Each route begins its run at the Jackson Heights subway station, so you are likely to get a seat and be able to stash carry-on baggage under your seat.
