How accurate is the website for parking? Says short and long term full currently.

US Park ok ?

Use the economy lot. It's so easy.

if the app says full, don't even waste your time. Just drive to the economy lot.

US park is cheaper than and closer than Economy.
I always use US park unless I Uber.

It also has less covered parking and less shuttles so yeah, Economy may be a little bit further but your car won't be 130 degrees when you return and you'll still get to the terminal faster and with some airlines, you can check your bags right there at the economy lot.

yes the advantage to economy is covered garage. The disadvantage is the shuttle ride each way with NOLAs finest and all their crap

short term is only a few bucks more a day and can be reserved up to 24 hrs in advance

The surface lot is the fastest and easiest IMO - slightly cheaper too.

Real time is very accurate. And it can go from 50-100 spots remaining to 0 really quickly

How is the surface lot easier than short term?

Always reserve online a few days in advance. Garage said it was full this morning but because I had a reservation they let me in and I found a spot. Game changer and relieves parking stress

I find the website to be pretty accurate. The only issue it doesn’t account for are the F350’s taking up 2 spots.

How is that?

US Park is minimum $15.95 + taxes & fees per day, $15.70/day if reserved which is unavailable right now

Economy is maximum $12 per day (no tax or fees)

I often take 12-16 day ski trips and go with economy on those trips.

If never used, US Park gives really good deals for long term parking that they'll text/email you. You'd have to check the website. They're also incredibly quick to get you to and from MSY in comparison to the MSY parking service that's all the way at the old airport.

Most of my trips are 2-3 days so its worth paying the extra for Short or Long term and not deal with the extra time and hassle of US Park or economy.

If you are doing more than a 5 day trip then its probably not worth the extra cost. That said, anything more than 4 days and we don't drive, just do a rideshare there and cab or rideshare home.

We always pay the extra for short term parking. We tend to fly out super early so there are open spots right at the entrance on the bottom floor if you know to take that extra left after you enter. Usually park just a few spots from the entrance. Leaving is so damn easy…just walk right out and drive out on the same level. Worth the extra money. Always book online ahead of time…
