I'm labeling this "walking out of airports" because it seems silly to create a new label for "walking in to airports". And because technically, you don't need to walk in or out of La Guardia (LGA) just to avoid a bullshit surcharge to discourage people from taking public transit, like JFK.
Rather, several MTA buses (M60, Q48, Q47, Q33, Q72) go directly to LGA for the same as you pay for any MTA bus.
My friend T was curious about why I didn't just take the M60 to LGA, and I explained that as much as I love public transit, I try to avoid buses at all cost. I'm just too damn tall to be comfortable on them. And in particular, I've been stuffed into suffocating spaces with people and luggage on the M60 before.
Anyway, to walk to (or from) LGA without taking the bus, you take the 7 train (subway) to Junction Boulevard & Roosevelt Avenue. When you step off into the utter chaos, traffic, and street vendors, walk directly up Junction all the way to LGA. (It turns in to 94th Street at 32nd Avenue, but you might not even notice.) Here's a map.
And here's the only worthwhile photo I have from the walk, at 94th Street and Ditmars Boulevard, just south of LGA:
The take home message here is essentially "don't run the red light."
