LaGuardia is mostly domestic, so 2 hours at the airport covers most flights; weekday mornings and Friday afternoons are the busiest times on the Grand Central Parkway. On snowy days, holiday weekends and summer Fridays we'll suggest leaving earlier.
The days the dorms close for Thanksgiving, winter and spring breaks are the busiest of the year for Hofstra University pickups — every student needs a ride on the same morning. Book as soon as the flight is booked. A parent can make the booking and get the confirmation and driver details too.
Delta uses Terminal C at LaGuardia and most other airlines use Terminal B; Terminal A handles a few carriers. After you land, your chauffeur meets you at the arrivals pickup area of your terminal. LaGuardia's curbs are tight, so we time the pickup to your bags, not just your landing.
