LaGuardia Airport is the closest airport to Manhattan, about 8 miles away in Queens, and it handles mainly domestic flights under a federal perimeter rule that caps most nonstop routes at 1,500 miles. Built on the site of an old amusement park on Flushing Bay, it is hemmed in by water on two sides. The current schedule feed lists 135 airports in 10 countries connected to New York.
It was rebuilt from the ground up in a multi-billion-dollar redevelopment completed in the 2020s, but the 1939 Marine Air Terminal survives — an Art Deco rotunda built for transatlantic flying boats, ringed by the mural 'Flight'.
The most frequently served routes for La Guardia Airport connect to Chicago (ORD), Atlanta (ATL) and Boston (BOS).
The longest connected route for La Guardia Airport reaches Lihue (LIH). This flight covers a distance of 5,013 miles (8,067 km).
