I can fly out of JFK or LGA - price is about the same.
Looks like I can do a 11AM out of JFK or a 11:30 or Nooner out of LGA
Which of these two is going to be easier/quicker to get too from the hotel? I guess I'd prefer the quicker trip all things being equal.
I presume I'd take the air train to JFK which I've done before. I've not flown out of LGA in 20 years. If I choose LGA should I Uber or is there a better [easy] alternative using public transportation from the hotel to LGA?
To JFK you can take the A train to the AirTrain at Howard Beach.
There is no good public transportation option to LGA (You can take the 4,5 to the N to a bas the A to the E to a bus, or the F to a bus. None of these is a fun option with luggage). LGA is a closer drive than JFK if you're going by car.
Another thing to consider is that the ongoing construction at LGA is making things a bit hectic there. Terminal A (JetBlue) is the least affected, Terminals C&D (Delta, Westjet, Spirit, Frontier) are somewhat affected, and Terminal B (AA, United, Southwest, and Air Canada) is the most affected.
