What time should we arrive at Laguardia for 2:30 flight?

[Hessie628]

We are leaving the first week in Dec for our WDW trip out of LGA. It will be my DH and 2 yo DD. We will be dropped off and need to check bags. (We will check in online.) We flew out of LGA in May midday to HHI but didn't have bags. When should we arrive at LGA to make our flight? Does LGA have a separate security line for families? I can't remember. I know Savannah did, but that's a smaller airport. Sorry to ask so many questions, but I'm leaving from work and now I'm in a panic I'm not leaving enough time.

LGA does not have a separate security line for families. Everyone goes through the same one. I would say play to be at LGA by 1:30 because you never know what traffic is going to be like even in the middle of the day.

I've flown out of LGA once (hopefully never again) and it was pretty quick from what I remember. I think we were there about 1.5 hours before our flight.

Thanks! We are flying on Delta.

I would be there by 1pm.

I've flown out of there twice in the past two months. The first time it took about 45 minutes to get through security for JetBlue on a Friday afternoon (I didn't purchase the even more speed option). The second time was American Airlines (shared the terminal with Delta) and it took about 25 minutes on a Thursday afternoon. There's no separate family line...just lines for people with security pre-check or first class/premium airline club members and everyone else. So I would aim to get there by 1 also.
