NOLA is known for its great food, music, culture, etc. The airport doesn't give you that great impression of what the city has to offer.
Justin LisenbyJuly 26Nice airport. Lots of good places to eat and snack. Much bigger than I imagined it would be.
HadiMarch 24, 2017Nice seats, very accessible and easy if you want to Harfe your devices and/or work while waiting for your flight.
For long term parking, skip the airport and go to an off-site lot like US Park. Much cheaper, Great service and a quick free shuttle ride away.
Sean MillerMay 10, 2017The airport was not bad considering its age. Quick tip: The rental car center is quite a hike from concourse b...so be prepared for long walk.
Christopher LongOctober 25, 2014The airport feels small for the size of the city it serves and the number of tourists it hosts. The best part of the airport is the free WiFi. Also, it's not far from downtown.
Ricardo HernandezApril 15, 2016Small airport. Security is a breeze. Make sure to bring your lunch, not a lot of food options.
Airport is easy to get around. Good selection of food in most gates. Not a bad drive if you live in the Baton Rouge area.
Patricia NguyenJune 2, 2013Lobby of C and D terminal has waiting spaces that have USB and regular outlets if you want to charge up. From what I can see the chairs at the gate in terminal d have outlets as well.
Eric OJanuary 28, 2016Be sure to find the giant statue of Louis Armstrong, famous jazz trumpeter and New Orleans International Airport namesake!
The new airport is incredible. Checkin is on 3rd floor, security on 2nd, and baggage claim on 1st. Download the myTSA app to check security wait times.
Racky RossJuly 25, 2015Wi-fi is definitely better than any new york airport! Love the laid back atmosphere, it's helping me recover from my hangover.
New airport doesn’t have any restaurants prior to entering the gate. If you planned on arriving early and sitting down bring a snack. The gate area doesn’t have much seating, or charge stations.- The new airport is incredible. Checkin is on 3rd floor,security on 2nd, and baggageeclaim on 1st. Download themyTSA app to check security wait times.
New Terminals opening - very close to Downtown. Average non commute drive 18-25 minutes. 35-40 in height of commute.
Jeremy ElrodNovember 23, 2012If you need to ship something home, go to "Rush It" on the baggage concourse. They'll ship whatever you need, including a pocket knife I forgot to put in my checked bag.
James GottJune 14, 2013This airport is laid out perfectly for the business traveler. Expedited lines for business/first people makes it a painless experience.
Rochelle SimonFebruary 29, 2016Please don't use those bathrooms. It doesn't seem to be cleaned very often. And there are only about 3 stalls(maybe 4 stalls) In the women's bathroom. The sink is opposite side of the towel paper!
Danielle GrayJuly 4, 2012The Airport Shuttle is totally the way to get to your hotel from the airport. One way ticket is $20, RT $30. Cabs are approx $34 o/w. Buy ticket online or at kiosk by baggage claim
James McGeeJuly 24, 2011Gettin out of the heat to San Diego?? Stop by Ruth's Chris Steak House on Harbor Dr. Serving sizzling USDA Prime Steaks every night right across from the Bay!! Let the Good Times Roll!!
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.
Welcome to Louisiana! Grab a daiquiris at the drive-thru daiquiris shop a block away. Enjoy your stay!
Daniel ArcherNovember 11, 2019Wow this airport is so nice! But the rental car shuttle is such a long ride.- 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.
Sagar JhobaliaNovember 28, 2016Get some raw cash. Not all delicious places in the city accept plastic currency
Depending on your flight, you can get through TSA fairly quickly. TSAPrecheck is the best!
Staying near the action? Take the E2 (bus) for only $2 then transfer to the streetcar. A "jazzy pass"it's only $3 to ride all day!
Terminal D has plenty of food and drink now!! Come on in and enjoy the new amenities. Could use a few clocks scattered around so I know what time it is!!
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.
Marvin McTawMay 7, 2017Simple airport to navigate and quick enough to get to the terminal and gate. Look forward to the expansion underway.
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!
Nice small airport. Could use some upgrades, but is easy to navigate.
Beware if you are renting a car. Rental area is 30 min away! The busses travel on public roads and are very far away from the main terminal. You get dropped off at arrivals, not departures. 🤬
Easy to get in and out of, but the food options are lacking once you're inside.
Kelly BolyardFebruary 20, 2013Zatarain's scrambled eggs and dirty rice is amazing. The biscuit is just like geamdma's! Concourse B by gate 5
Security lines can be surprisingly long, especially after a heavy-tourist weekend. Don’t underestimate wait times.
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.
Make sure you check the departure screen right after security otherwise you're walking all the way to the end of the terminal to find out what gate you need.
There is just No Place like NOLA! Experience It! Breath It! Fall In Love With It!
- 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.
A small airport with improvements on the way... but at the current time there are underwhelming eateries and shops, and the inside is pretty bland and borderline ugly. Needs modernization ASAP!!
Jonathon TaylorJanuary 10, 2022Very spacious and clean. Don’t be fooled by the ongoing construction outside
Randy RaetzNovember 3, 2013Men: If you need to use a shitter, go all the way down to the 3rd men's bathroom. It has a wheelchair access sign. The first two bathrooms only have 2 stalls & guys are reading Star magazine. WTF!- patricia freyJune 15, 2019Airlines should stop “talking over each other’s announcements”! Also make sure ALL monitors and electrical outlets work!!!!
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! :)
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.
Rudi ReitbergOctober 23, 2013Print out your boarding pass at the self-serve counter and utilise the FREE baggage check outside. Save yourself some time.
