Meeting a train at New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal
On Loyola Avenue in the CBD, a short run from the French Quarter and the convention centre.
Worth knowing. During Mardi Gras the approach may sit inside a parade closure. Cross-street pickups are agreed in advance.
Rail schedules slip. We track the service by number, hold thirty minutes of complimentary wait from the actual arrival, and — at the larger stations — meet you on the concourse with a name board rather than leaving you to find a car in a pickup lane you have never used.
Why the train is often the better leg
On the Northeast Corridor and the Florida Brightline route, rail frequently beats flying door to door once security and taxi queues are counted. The weak link is the last mile at each end, and replacing that with a chauffeured car — booked at a fixed fare, tracked to the arrival — is the whole point of this service.
Onward in New Orleans
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.
