Taxi or Airport Service From LGA?
Hi, I am hoping you all can help me out. I am traveling to LGA and my flight gets in at Noon. I have to be at my hotel as fast as possible because I have a conference starting at 2:30 p.m. But at the same time, I am a college student and am trying to be reasonable with my cash.

Would it be best to just take a cab and eat the fare?

Or is an airport service fast enough? The ones I looked at said I wouldn't get there until almost 2. How long does a taxi take?

I would take the bus or train but I will have a huge suitcase.

Thanks!

Did you check out SuperShuttle? Cheaper than a taxi but no quicker than a bus. Might be the compromise you are lookin' for. Either way, the traffic will screw you - make plans to be late.....

Can you do without the huge suitcase? If you can pack in a carryon, you'll skip the wait at the baggage claim and it'll open up public transport flexibility.

If you must have your big bag, then a taxi is probably your best bet. But it also depends on where you're going.
