I'm looking at flights to Europe, and found a great fare. I fly into LaGuardia and have a 3 hour layover. Thing is, I fly out of JFK. Has anyone had this sort of flight? How do I get from one airport to the other, does the airline have a transfer, or do I grab a cab? If the latter, then does 3 hours total give me enough time to go through security once again at JFK? Thanks :)

Airlines rarely have a transfer from LGA to JFK. Depending on what day and what time you land in LaGuardia, you can probably take a cab to JFK. If it's Monday-Friday (rush hour: 5pm - 7pm), it's still doable, however, it will take longer. Distance wise, it's not really that far, but you do have to take the highways and if it's raining, that will make it even longer. But that would be the best way.

La Guardia has a problem with weather, the very last mile you fly low over the city and the last stretch over the Long Island Sound. If it is windy or raining there are a lot delays and cancellation. In the same case JFK is still open as you can fly a wider circle out to the ocean, they keep it open for a longer time as the majority of international flight come in through JFK, also: Jet Blue has a own terminal in JFK (which is the old TWA building and a landmark, it has the form of an eagle with outstretched wings and is a historical landmark ! You see it in the film "Catch me if you can" with DiCaprio.) Lived in NY and traveled a lot domestic, every time choose JFK over LGA. Taxi to Midtown is appr. 45 $ (the rate is fixed, whatever way they take), they will give you a sheet of paper with the fare for the way and you can check the license number and complain. NWK: issue is: you can get stuck in the tunnels or the bridges when you go to NYC and it is very overcrowded since 2 years.

Call the airlines and ask if there is a shuttle and time involved.
I did that once, took a cab. Years ago before 9/11.

It gives you plenty of time they're not too far from each other, grab a cab, I don't think it would be more than $25 so good luck!
