|---|---|---|---|---|
| LaGuardia Airport | LGA | 42 km (26 mi) | 7,002 ft | 21 ft |

Runway length is a practical tell: at 7,002 ft, LGA handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 21 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
