There are many ways to get to LaGuardia from Long Island but today we will talk about how to get to the airport on Long Island Expressway, also known as I-495W.
As you can see in the map, I-495W runs right in the middle of the island all the way to Manhattan. You will stay on I-495W for the most of the trip until you reach Grand Central Parkway which will eventually take you to the airport.
The first thing you want to do is to locate the closest entry to I-495W from the part of Long Island you are departing from. Make sure you are driving west and not east.

Upon taking the exit, make sure to stay on the right side of the road where you will take the Grand Central Parkway West.
