Flights out of LCH, LFT, BTR, MSY, etc... Just a few random flights here and there for close to $1k per ticket. Negative, ghostrider.

Has anyone heard of any charter bus options from Lake Charles, lafayette, BR, anywhere along I-10 corridor?

Try a private jet provider. Amazingly affordable for 8 passengers - still sometimes beats commercial fares for 4 passengers. And you can hop around to a few local airports to pick up and drop off your pals.

You're welcome.

Maybe consider driving.

Could catch Amtrak out of Nola if you wanted, but it’s like a 12 hour trip

I get that some ppl just don't want to drive that far but sitting on a bus that long seems awful. I'm driving... if the dumbass committee had left us at #1 throughout we probably could have gambled and booked those Atlanta flights farther in advance

I will drive if I have to... going to surprise my son with the tix for xmas... I would rather sit on a charter bus for 10hrs vs driving by myself for 10hrs whilst he watches Netflix and takes naps in the back seat. haha

I'll be in BR and NOLA visiting family for the holidays, so we just decided to drive to the Peach Bowl. It's not a bad drive and it's interstate all the way. Besides, I enjoy seeing all the cars on the road with LSU flags on them.

Turo is the ticket — get you a sick sports car and drive in style down to NOLA.

If you absolutely need to fly, look for multi city flights. Specifically look for BTR-Charlotte-Atlanta
