Default LaGuardia vs. White Plains

I'm looking a trip to Fairfield CT, looking for which airport is better. I know how far they are. I'm really wondering if White Plains would be a lot less hassle with respect to getting and returning a rental car.

Thoughts my LS1 peeps?

I just spent the night in white plains last week. nice up there. probably more flights at laguardia but white plains is far less congested and will be an easier trip to Ct to and back. I'd do white plains. give you the name of a GREAT bar in white plains-called "the thirsty turtle" great dj AND band and LOTS of college girls. Great time.
they have a website-check it out.

white plains is much closer, and in most cases ive found cheaper than other local airports. its my airport of choice. rentals are at the airport so your good but the parking can be alittle bit of a problem. coming to fairfield for work or pleasure? its also a much nicer drive to fairfield, just hop on the merritt north, and your golden

John, white plains is the way to go, if you can't do that fly to Hartford MUCH better than LaGuardia


let me know when your in town maybe we can meet up for a beer or dinner or something. I live 15 to 20 min from where you will be.

Laguardia sucks traffic-wise...and in most other ways, too.
