re: New Orleans airport was a great experience

I used it 2 weeks ago and it was a solid mess. Driving to the terminal was slow as molasses. They had to use policemen and airport staff to ask you if you were uber, pickup, dropoff, or parking. It was Louisiana at it's finest: making the traffic worst than better getting to the airport. Maybe it's all straight now??????

The only think I didn’t like was the process of getting a rental car.

Isn't every airport a destination airport

New Orleans has a crown jewel with this airport.

Why would anyone fly out of Baton Rouge when New Orleans airport is more convenient and efficient?

Something needs to be done about the sun in the evening. Everything is glass and it’s frigging blinding

It was a absolute great experience. No traffic. No lines. No baggage issues. The new airport is amazing and truly a destination airport.
I have been there several times since opening. My experience ranges from almost the exact scenario that you described to an absolute nightmare. The airport is great during non- peak hours, however when pressure is applied it is completely dysfunctional. Try it during a morning rush or a Sunday evening return. It took me almost an hour to get from the parking garage back to the interstate. I have never checked a bag so I can’t speak to that.

Why no PP Lounge Mitch?

Weird how people from Louisiana love to bash stuff when they don't know what they are talking about. The new airport is badass and one of the best in the country. 99% of the people that complain about the airport haven't flown out of it, just like to bitch. It's one of the reasons Louisiana is always ranked last year after year.

The airport is nice, one of the nicest I’ve been in recently. I like that there’s a desk for $20ish flat-rate van rides into the city so you aren’t fricked by ride share surges. The only thing I didn’t like was the shuttle to the rental car facility. I guess it’s at the old terminal and the shuttle took a 40 minute goat path to get there.

I went in a week ago and I thought it was fine. Didn’t take too long. Came back a week later and landed and got my bags and was out the door in a few minutes.
I did see the car line backed way up but took a shuttle to parking so didn’t have to deal with all that.

Flying out Friday morning at 7:50. I assume that’s pretty peak time. I was planning to arrive two hours early, is that enough? We are being dropped off so don’t have to deal with parking, shuttling, etc.

The new terminal?
The airport hasn’t changed.

I fly out of MSY regularly on my commute to ATL and have picked up guests there several times since it opened.
My thoughts:
It's a nice terminal but tons of glass. Even in fall it can feel like you're in a green house. Summer may get interesting.
Some times the place is empty and dropoff/pickup takes no time whatsoever. Other times it's packed and very frustrating how unorganized the process seems. They corralled cars in the text lot a few days ago to help control traffic. I don't see the situation improving until more infrastructure is built. Some easier things could get done rather quickly such as extending the right turn lane onto Veterans allowing those that want to go to the city use an alternative route instead of waiting at the light to get onto Interstate.
The road that the rental car and parking shuttle buses take, Bainbridge, is awful. Not a good impression after exiting a brand new terminal.
I don't check bags so I have no idea what's up with the delays.
Overall a good experience save for the crazy traffic jams during peak times.

glad to hear.
once you realize that 95% of what you read, see, and hear on television (and most of the internet) is propaganda, the better off you are.

I just picked up my family at the airport. It took me less than 30 minutes from I-10 and complete pickup. We are on the road again. People just complain about everything.
I truly love the new airport. It’s not perfect, but it is better than most and certainly much better than the old airport.
