Pro Tips
- The flat-rate taxi ($36/cab) to downtown is excellent value if traveling with 2–4 people.
- Book flights to MSY well in advance during Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest, and major Saints games — prices spike dramatically.
- The new terminal's food options include several New Orleans classics — a great first taste of the city's cuisine.
- Hurricane season (June–November) monitoring is essential; New Orleans evacuations can fill all outbound flights days in advance.
- Rideshare pickup is well-organized at the new terminal — significantly better than the old airport experience.
- The French Quarter is about 14 miles away; budget 25–40 minutes depending on traffic.
- New Orleans is a short weekend trip from many major hub cities — mid-week flights are often much cheaper.
