Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport
, eighteen miles northwest on I-10, has an information booth (8am-9pm) in its baggage claim area. Flat-rate
taxi
fares into town are $24 for up to two people, $10 each for three or more, and
shuttles
(tel 504/592-0555) will take you to your hotel (every 10min; tickets available 24hr in the baggage claim area or from the bus driver; $10 to downtown hotels). There's also a
public bus
from the airport to Tulane Avenue in the CBD (daily 6am-6.30pm; every 15-25min; $1.50), but it holds carry-on luggage only.
Greyhound
buses arrive next to
Amtrak
at the Union Passenger Terminal, 1001 Loyola Ave, near the Superdome. This area, in the no-man's-land beneath the elevated Pontchartrain Expressway, is dangerous at night; take a
cab
to your lodgings. United Cabs is by far the best firm (tel 504/522-9771). Other useful information
for tourists (each section contains more specific sub-sections): |
