I might be wrong, but are you suggesting getting to LGA from LIC is ...inconvenient? I think in all of NY there is no relationship between neighborhood and airport that would be better? Not sure about public transport since I would think everybody would take a lyft/uber/taxi from LIC to LGA. It's 10min and cheap.

LGA itself tends to be inconvenient. Getting there from LIC is no worse than from anywhere else, but you're still ending up at LGA. The construction crews sincerely apologize for any unexpected convenience you may experience.

And when were you taking this magical taxi, 2AM?

Google Maps put the time at 23 mins by car right now. Still an incredibly easy and cheap Lyft ride.
