Dtr is attending a convention 3 months from now.
LFT - MCO would be our preference for convenience AND family can drop us/pick us up so no parking fees. MSY is an option but for convenience LFT is our choice.
What is your "worth it" amount of savings for the drive of 2.5 hrs to MSY. Tickets are cheaper there but the drive ... ugh even though it's "easy" it's far.
Am I looking too far out time wise? Looking to leave 6/26 or 27 at latest.

$178 on delta or frontier to leave out of nola versus $334 to leave from lafayette. Is the 2.5 hours including the way there and back? That's a pretty big price difference

The price is a judgment call on your part. If I need to travel with a definite timeline MSY (firm work appointments or personal travel); if it is a standard business trip (I will be in sometime on XXXday) I will fly LFT just for convenience.
LFT is basically a crap shoot with limited options for getting out should flights back up. MSY leaves you with different options should problem arise.

Parking is ~$15 a day at MSY
if your trip is 7 days $15*7 = $105
I get reimbursed $.53 a mile LFT-MSY ~150mi x2 = 300 miles
.53x300 = $159 round trip
Using previous posters flight cost.
MSY = $178+159+105 = $442
LFT = $334
Just off cost, looks like LFT would be a better option.
