Flights & airport

Fly into MSY, Louis Armstrong New Orleans International (MSY), about 12 miles, a 20 to 30 minute drive to the French Quarter. Rideshare, taxis, and the airport shuttle all serve the downtown / French Quarter area, with direct flights from most large airports.

While you're here

New Orleans rewards an extra day or two. Live jazz spills out of the clubs on Frenchmen Street and all through the Quarter, the Creole and Cajun cooking is some of the best in the country, and the historic architecture, hidden courtyards, and streetcars are a short walk from downtown. Come in early or stay a night after the meeting, beignets at Cafe du Monde, a stroll along the Mississippi, and a proper Creole dinner are worth the extra evening.
