trippNfallNSeptember 1, 2011Decadence kickoff was fabulous! Don't leave your phone unattended, some hoodlum will take it and police reports are antagonising. Have fun Queens!! Happy Decadence ;)
- Terminal D is really nice and Wow Cafe has a great veggie burger. So stupid they're wasting tax payer money to build a new airport.
Daniel ArcherNovember 11, 2019Wow this airport is so nice! But the rental car shuttle is such a long ride.
Noel N.April 18, 2013Cheesy grits at Cheesecake Scoop Cafe in Terminal D are better than any grits I've had back home up North.
Tarek PertewFebruary 5, 2015Read the tips that aren't really tips. Like the one pictured from Janne Brown.
Don't go 5hrs early this is not you typical busy Airport! Also ask for the secret vending machine by the bookstore if you're looking for a snack or a drink! ;)
David Orland BrownMarch 6, 2012Small airport but very friendly staff. You won't find free WiFi at any other airports, either. $33 cab ride from the French Quarter. NOLA!
get a picture of that liver transplant banner so all of your lame friends will think you are clever
If you are traveling Southwest and not checking bags - go to the right towards security and there are 4 self checkins - usually no lines!
Brent NewmanMay 21, 2011As of this date airport shuttle roundtrip to and from dtown = $38. Cab = $33 each way for first 2 people, $14 per additional person. Groups of 3 or more = cheaper in a cab. Van cabs available.
Chip HJune 28, 2011Just take a cab downtown if you're traveling w/someone. Downtown shuttle is $38 per person and will stop at several other hotels on the way. Cab fare for 2 is $33.
Tariq AhmadApril 12, 2014Praline Connection is great. Worth stopping by and picking up some pralines.
Apart from having one of the slowest TSA ID Check Lines, the baggage claim is surprisingly pretty fast and easy to get to, unlike other airports.
Security lines can be surprisingly long, especially after a heavy-tourist weekend. Don’t underestimate wait times.
Sagar JhobaliaNovember 28, 2016Get some raw cash. Not all delicious places in the city accept plastic currency
Nice small airport. Could use some upgrades, but is easy to navigate.
CTIA Trade Shows & EventsJanuary 26, 2012The main airport for those traveling to/from the International CTIA WIRELESS 2012 conference and exposition! Register before April 2, 2012 for discounted rates, and book your flight early! #CTIAW12 Read more
GinnyOctober 28, 2013Plan to wait about 30 minutes at security if you have a morning flight, unless you are fortunate to have a priority or tsa pre-check. Add 10-15 for printing boarding passes and dropping off luggage.
joeJanuary 16Probably a good idea to be in 2 hours early as you never know how the security check is going to be .. !!
Rudi ReitbergOctober 23, 2013Print out your boarding pass at the self-serve counter and utilise the FREE baggage check outside. Save yourself some time.
Depending on your flight, you can get through TSA fairly quickly. TSAPrecheck is the best!
CamiJune 27, 2012Not the most impressive airport, but all of their signs are in four languages- one of them being Japanese!And if you check in you get a free baggage tag. :P
MuratSeptember 20, 2022Bright airport, looks like a shopping mall. Big enough, but easy to navigate and very passenger friendly. Could be busy at the weekends, expect long lines. 25min/35-40USD taxi ride away.
Mimi UkwuaniMay 27, 2014Went to the French Qtr this wkend, and a cab for 1 or 2 is $33, 3 or more $14 each. Just a heads up.
App based ride area behind the Transportation Center. Coordinate through your app first!
Kelly BolyardFebruary 20, 2013Zatarain's scrambled eggs and dirty rice is amazing. The biscuit is just like geamdma's! Concourse B by gate 5
Emily CorleyNovember 20, 2013wow, the people here must hate their jobs because they are absolutely miserable, esp at ticketing and security. if you don't want to deal with a lot of people, prob shouldn't work at a busy airport.
Small airport, TSA line can be long early in morning, do not open exclusive line for premiere flyers at all times (if ever), despite being marked.
Vegetarians: pack your lunch. Absolutely zero veggie options. Even all of the salads are pre made with meat.
Make sure to pick up a Big Boy Gooey cake on your way outta town.
The renovations are amazing. Impressed with the new layout. Love NOLA!
Rick DoesburgAugust 25, 2016Signs are not very clear, lots of running around. (Rental cars are in the building next to the airport, follow public transportat signs)
Jonathon TaylorJanuary 10, 2022Very spacious and clean. Don’t be fooled by the ongoing construction outside
New airport location is the difference between 1947 and 2012 wow
Venkatesh HodavdekarApril 23, 2015Good food is hard to find here. A place like New Orleans should do better.
Manako IhayaOctober 28, 2018Make sure you’re lined up in the right security lane for your gate, even for TSA Pre-check. Otherwise you’ll have to go through security all over again!
Starbucks....finally...right across from gate c7....yippy.
Ted FrankNovember 4, 2013The bathrooms by the Lost & Found in Concourse C are a relic of the pre-9/11 security setup, get no foot traffic, and are much cleaner than typical airport bathrooms.
Dani CApril 20, 2013They have separate TSA areas for each terminal so make sure you are at the RIGHT one!!!
For bottled bevs, the vending machines are a better deal than the concession stands #needmyfrappuccino
Leah EJune 15, 2011Good airport... Small, very few long lines (compared to the big hubs). Every flight I've flown coming back in arrives early. Almost no New Orleans delays here! :)
Always a good experience at this airport. Security is normally pretty quick too
Emily PiecrustJuly 17, 2010Concourse B has decent food. Lucky Dogs, Praline Express, and Live Oaks are some local options. The Magnificent Burger from Jester's was pretty good, and huge to boot.
