How an arrival at MSY works
Your reservation is linked to the flight number, so a delay, a diversion or an early landing moves the pickup time automatically. You are given thirty minutes of complimentary wait from wheels-down on a domestic arrival and ninety on an international one, because immigration and baggage are unpredictable in a way the airline schedule is not.
Curbside pickup is the faster and cheaper option: the chauffeur holds in the cell lot, you text when you have your bags, and the car is at the designated pickup zone within a few minutes. Meet-and-greet puts the chauffeur inside with a name board, helps with luggage and walks you out — the right choice for first-time visitors, guests you are hosting, children, and anyone with mobility needs.
Departures from MSY
For departures we work backwards from the terminal arrival time recommended for your carrier and cabin, add the traffic profile for that specific day and hour, and give you a pickup time. For international departures out of the larger hubs that usually means three hours before scheduled departure; for a domestic morning flight with pre-check it is often ninety minutes.
Getting into New Orleans from MSY
New Orleans has one of the largest contiguous exhibition halls in the country at the Morial Convention Center, a cruise terminal on the river, and a festival calendar — Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest, Essence — that deliberately closes the streets. Parade routes are published in advance and a chauffeur who knows them is worth considerably more than one who does not.
Local note. Parade routes are published in advance and close whole corridors for hours. During Mardi Gras every booking is planned around the route sheet, and hotel access changes daily.
