Ami H.February 14, 2023Airport originally named Moisant Field after aviator John Moisant (died in crash 1910), later Moisant Stock Yards, hence, MSY. Renamed in 2001 to honor 100th anniversary of Armstrongs birth
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.
Eric RowlesFebruary 16Well that was epic! Four standing room only presentations and 500+ attendees! Thanks again #BSH2024!
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.
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!
Terminal D finally gets a facelift. Check out the new seats in the rotunda. United has lots of outlets.
Gwen MahanOctober 11, 2013You can grab beer or wine from a lil place across gate b7 and take it to drink @ your terminal! No need to sit @ the bar.
joeJanuary 16Probably a good idea to be in 2 hours early as you never know how the security check is going to be .. !!
Shana JSeptember 24, 2011Great souvenir shopping, but eat before you get here. There is no good good in here at all. But the drinks at the bakery at B9 are fabulous
Tariq AhmadApril 12, 2014Praline Connection is great. Worth stopping by and picking up some pralines.
Small airport with not a lot of services but you can get through security quickly and it’s never a long walk to your gate.
Katherine FehrAugust 17, 2013If you're in terminal C go to copeland's kitchen and get a banana foster sundae. It's remarkable!!
If you are checking through TSA pre-check you don't have to remove shoes, belts, or take laptops out. Funny that so many still do despite signs .
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! ;)
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)
Fast lines but seriously slow internet. the whole state has super slow internet!
Jake SmithMarch 25, 2016Not many food options past security (at least in the Southwest terminal). Keep that in mind if you're fighting a vicious Bourbon Street hangover.
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.
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.
Leaving Louisiana? Enjoy one last luxury. Get a drink from the bar and take it to the gate (or on the plane). Happy travels!- Watty WattsJanuary 25, 2019Heading downtown? Go to the departure level and catch the E2 bus. It’s $2 per person and it only adds about 15 minutes to your ride.
Make sure to pick up a Big Boy Gooey cake on your way outta town.
Kylie JayOctober 3, 2014The taxi lines can be confusing as there are many signs but seems to only have one in operation at a time
Bryant CarterMay 8, 2012When checking in at concourse B, choose the left line. The one on the right looks shorter but it wraps around. The left is a straight shot.
Always a good experience at this airport. Security is normally pretty quick too
If you need to kill time, the Hilton across the street is comfortable, nice, and has wireless and good food.
Lindsay SmithSeptember 30, 2012Great experience with American and Southwest though! United ticket desk is horrible here. Do not expect help, compassion or anything other than Very unhappy folks who do not really like their jobs.
Dani CApril 20, 2013They have separate TSA areas for each terminal so make sure you are at the RIGHT one!!!
Jessica LaneJune 30, 2011There's a FREE shuttle that takes you from the airport to the French Quarter for the Essence Music Festival weekend. I think it just started today, DEFINITELY check that out!! Read more
- Sam (@HandstandSam)February 12, 2011PRO TIP: Eat BEFORE you go through security at ACME Oyster house. Delicious, but dont go there if you are short on time. Food options are BEFORE security.
Doug WMay 17, 2017I hate to say anything bad about a place with Louis Armstrong's name on it, but this is the lamest big city airport I've ever been to. Just a whole lot of nothing once you go through security.
Foxxy BMarch 13, 2017Concourse C has little worth eating—an employee at the Zatarain's literally told me nothing was good. Don't expect to survive on anything but water & snacks, sprinkled with gross fatty southern fare.
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
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.
The renovations are amazing. Impressed with the new layout. Love NOLA!
- TSA at MSY is ridiculous! Why 1 person is checking boarding passes and 3 "watching" when there are 50+ people in line makes 0 sense to me. My advice is get there early / in plenty of time!
Darcy McneillOctober 29, 2011This airport is awesome, cool people working, and most important they have bars past baggage claim!
Meredith McGuireAugust 4, 2019Nice airport and TSA didn’t take too long; but it was EXTREMELY cold for needing to wait 6 hours overnight. Maybe put in some sleeping lofts like they have in Japan (paid, of course, by the hour).
Tarek PertewFebruary 5, 2015Read the tips that aren't really tips. Like the one pictured from Janne Brown.
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.
