Long layover in New Orleans
Posted on 9/17/15 at 11:13 am
Posted on 9/17/15 at 11:13 am
I'm traveling to the Syracuse game next Thursday from Dallas. I'm flying into New Orleans with my wife at 9 am and am not flying out with the rest of our party until 7:30 that night. Since we have basically a whole day, we want to go have some fun in the quarter. Are there any other options beside cabbing it back and forth? $80 to get to and from the airport just seems less than ideal.

Uber?

Uber, Airport Shuttle, Cab.

Cab is going to be your best bet unfortunately. But I'd gladly pay $80 to not spend 10 hours at MSY

Cab from MSY to the FQ is $33 flat. Uber may or may not be cheaper.

You don't tip bro?

You could probably just rent a car for about $30 a day...but then you have to worry about parking downtown.

We're young and both just started our careers. In due time we will be.

Pox is right, it's $32 for the cheapest car for the day. Also isn't there free parking close to the quarter? I remember doing that a few times

No kidding. MSY is not a layover airport, nor should it ever be.
Look at the dumb shite they are trying to do at Laguardia or the mess they created at Reagan

Yep. Rent a car, park at Harrah's, start your trip off to the quarter gambling there, go have fun, leave and go back to the airport. Hell, you may make a couple bucks at the casino.

It's not....it's about 50-60 bucks to Lakeview. So I'd guess 70 bucks for an Uber to downtown?

Uber doesnt run in Jeff parish though
Posted on 9/17/15 at 11:35 am to Lester Earl
It's just limo companies masquerading as Uber. I've used them about 3-4 times within the past 2 months getting to Lakeview.

Book a car through travelocity or one of those kinda sites. We saved like $25 a day by renting this way.

Rent a car and enjoy a muffuletta or po-boy in the French Quarter. Just stay away from the hand grenades.
