The two major airports in New Orleans are the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) and the New Orleans Lakefront Airport (NEW). MSY is the main commercial airport for New Orleans, handling most of the domestic and international New Orleans flights. Flights can be arranged as a package deal, including hotel and public travel accommodations. There are also single plane ticket packages that can be purchased for flights to New Orleans. Incentives to passengers at the Louis Armstrong Airport include a cell-phone lot where people waiting to pick-up arriving passengers can be called when a specific flight arrives. NEW is a public-use airport that services the New Orleans area. This airport is best used for local and domestic flights, so cheaper air fare may be available for people that are traveling to New Orleans from nearby cities in the Bayou.

New Orleans Weather

New Orleans has nice weather throughout the year. Temperatures are usually mild with a subtropical climate. New Orleans is located near the Gulf of Mexico's warm waters, which certainly affects the climate there.New Orleans flights during the summer months will introduce travelers to hot and humid weather. Moreover, there is a chance of thunderstorms and rainfall in the summer season. Spring, fall, and winter months are the best times to plan your flight to the city of Jazz. September and October present ideal temperatures in the 70s and 80s; so these are good months to schedule New Orleans flights.

Getting Around New Orleans

Once your flight lands at MSY, you will have several transportation options to get you to your next destination. You can rent a car to travel to local attractions or catch a cab as an affordable alternative. New Orleans is also easy to navigate by bike. You can rent a small bike or better yet, if you have friends or relatives that live in the area, borrow a ride during your stay. Flights to New Orleans aren't quite complete if you don't use the popular street cars to visit local attractions (especially bars).

New Orleans Attractions

This unique and lively city will bring out the best in its visitors once they experience everything New Orleans has to offer. The following attractions will give a person every reason to want to visit:

  • Mardi Gras, the popular Carnival event is one of the main reasons people visit New Orleans
  • Bourbon Street, a well-known party street in the French Quarter section of the city frequented by locals and tourists
  • The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, an annual event that celebrates the New Orleans music and cultural landscape
  • Audubon Aquarium of the Americas, one of the top aquariums in the country and host to sea otter and African penguin exhibits.
  • Preservation Hall, a famous jazz performance hall in the French Quarter

New Orleans When to Go

The best months to travel to New Orleans are March, April, October, and November. The air is soft and lush, scented with sweet olive and night-blooming jasmine. The restaurants and bars in the French Quarter and Uptown prop open their doors, and the smell of boiled crawfish and the sounds of jazz spill out onto the streets. These months also mark the height of festival season, including Jazz Fest (April/May), the French Quarter Festival (April), Voodoo Music Experience (October), and the Oak Street Po-Boy Festival (November). While tourism does spike in these months, this city's built to handle far larger crowds (think Mardi Gras and the Sugar Bowl), and the streets rarely feel congested.

The winters, while shorter and milder than in more northerly climes, can bring temperatures to near freezing. The city is often infused with a damp cold and raked with ornery winds. That doesn't stop people from spilling out of their houses for Saints tailgate parties near the Superdome (August through January) or taking to the streets for Mardi Gras (February or March). The two weekends leading up to Fat Tuesday are rife with parades, with the first weekend somewhat more subdued.

Then there's summer, when conditions are hot and damp. And did we mention hot? Like cayenne-pepper hot. Most New Orleanians learn to move slowly and spend their time hunkered in air conditioning awaiting a cool thunderstorm. This is also peak hurricane season (the prime months for truly dangerous storms are August and September), so travelers should have a backup plan in their pocket.
