Arriving at New Orleans airport 65 minutes before kick-off. Would normally expect to make it downtown within an hour but concerned about the added Trump security!

Do you think any realistic chance of making it in time?

Unless you got your self a police escort into town there's no way.

If you had bags, you wouldn't make it downtown in an hour even without Trump mate.

You’ll probably miss a healthy portion of the first quarter.

If you don’t have any checked bags to pickup and if your arrival isn’t delayed by Air Force One security and if you get a cab or Uber almost immediately out the terminal, you might make it by the end of the first quarter.

Just getting out of immigration in NO is going to take you forever. Good luck.

Thanks!

No bags, or even hand luggage. Will get straight into an Uber.

Fingers crossed.

Your odds just went way up then. Still going to be late, but you saved a ton of time

I’m guessing you may see the second half.

Zero percent chance you’re there for kickoff. Between traffic and security to enter the dome.. no way

I flew in 2 weeks ago and customs only took 5 mins. Hoping it’s the same this time as not many international flights land then.

Plan to get Uber to take me a back route, probably via Earhart expressway and get dropped of within a mile of the Dome.

Rent a helicopter for a drop in the stadium's parking lot.

Since when are there direct flights from the UK to NOLA? People talking about customs, those would be cleared at the first port of entry into the US. Maybe they added a London to MSY flight and I’m just behind the times?

I suggest you upgrade your seat to row 1. First off plan and first through customs
