Ok, I'm about to buy two tickets to Rio (GAG). The trip there is no
problem, but I have a question about the return flight. I would go from GAG
to JFK. But then I would depart LGA for IND. I would arrive in JFK at
6:05am and depart LGA at 4PM the same day. My question is: would that give
me enough time to get to LGA? How far away is LGA from JKF? Do they offer
a bus service or would I have to take a taxi? I've never flown into New
York/New Jersey before so I have no idea want to expect.

Thanks!

I sure hope you mean GIG.

That's ten hours. You could walk from JFK to LGA in half that time.

The NYC Airporter bus runs about every half hour, takes half an hour
if there's no traffic, an hour with traffic, fare is $13 if you buy a
ticket ahead of time on their web site:

If you don't have more luggage than you can carry, the transfer by
public transportation is easy. Take the JFK Airtrain to Jamaica, buy
a $7.50 Metrocard at the exit, use it to exit the Airtrain ($5) into
the train station. Follow the signs to go downstaits to the subway
station, and use the same Metrocard to enter the subway ($2.50). Take
the inbound E train five stops to Roosevelt avenue, go upstairs to the
bus stop and take the Q70 bus (free transfer using the Metrocard) to
LGA.

Either way, even if JFK customs is slow, you will probably be at LGA
before 10:00 AM. Delta has flights to IND at 10:00 and 12:56, so if
you ask nicely and perhaps pay a small change fee, you can get an
earlier flight.

Ah, no wonder my news server couldn't find it. Well, better late than
never. I hope he caught his flight.
