Consider total door-to-door time, layover length, and carrier on-time performance.

Delta offers extensive LGA schedules and many economy seats with bundled options; American and JetBlue provide competitive pricing and route variety. Ultra-low-cost carriers and basic economy fares usually have lower base fares but add fees for carry-on and checked bags.
