If you’re focused on cost saving rather than convenience, taking the bus from the airport to downtown would be the best option. Look for the 2X bus from the airport terminal station, and you will be dropped off at 5th street. If you would rather go for convenience regardless of the costs, a taxi is worth considering since they will pick you up at the airport and drop you off at any destination around the city.

When traveling with a pet through MSY, you must ensure that they remain in their safe carriers while you’re at the airport and only let them free when using the pet relief areas. You can find these pet relief areas near Shake Shack when airside and outside the terminal in front of Long-Term Parking Garage when landside.

MSY is about 14 miles from downtown New Orleans. If you’re running late and need to get to the airport as quickly as possible, a taxi would be a good option since they are available everywhere in the city and will be happy to drop you off at the entrance to the airport terminal. However, you can still take the bus from Loyola to the airport, but this will take you about forty minutes compared to the 20 minutes when using a taxi.

Flying is not a sustainable way to travel, but there are measures one can take to reduce their carbon footprint and play a part in protecting the environment. For example, you can try and book a direct flight instead of connecting flights that usually cover longer distances and therefore result in more carbon emissions. You can also opt to use public transport to and from the respective airports as a way to cut down emissions.
