Get to the airport a bit earlier to have a snack or meal prior to boarding. It’s a short flight, about 1.5 hours, so each airport has plenty of choices.

FAQs - booking Louisiana flights

  • I want to see Louisiana’s beaches. Where should I fly?

    Nearly the entire state of Louisiana is on the coast. Consider flying to the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport. The flight will give you a nice view of the Gulf of Mexico before you land. From here you can book shorter flights, e.g., to the Lafayette Regional Airport, where a flight stopping in New Orleans will be less expensive than a nonstop flight to Lafayette. Booking a flight to the Baton Rouge airport might be farther from the ocean, but it is also cheaper than flying to New Orleans. A rental car drive isn’t too far from the beach.

  • I want to visit the northeast part of Louisiana. Where should I fly?

    Flying to Monroe and landing at the Monroe Regional Airport is your best choice for seeing northeast Louisiana. Flights here are pretty frequent and not very expensive. This is the closest airport to the western border of Mississippi (1h 9m). You could also book a flight to Jackson, MS, and land at the Jackson-Evers International Airport (JAN).

  • I’ve got a cruise booked departing from New Orleans. Where should I fly?

    New Orleans is a major hub for cruises to locations in different parts of the world, so booking a flight directly to the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport is the fastest way to get here. It’s far cheaper than flying to Baton Rouge, and flights to New Orleans are more frequent as well.

  • What are the major airports in Louisiana with international flights?

    Louisiana has two international airports: Alexandria International Airport (AEX) and the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport. While it is more expensive to fly to Alexandria, it is the best airport for anyone who wants to fly to the central region of the state.

  • How does KAYAK find such low prices on flights from the United States to Louisiana?

    KAYAK is a travel search engine. That means we look across the web to find the best prices we can find for our users. With over 2 billion flight queries processed yearly, we are able to display a variety of prices and options on flights from the United States to Louisiana.

  • How does KAYAK's flight Price Forecast tool help me choose the right time to buy my flight ticket from the United States to Louisiana?

    KAYAK’s flight Price Forecast tool uses historical data to determine whether the price for a flight from the United States to Louisiana is likely to change within 7 days, so travelers know whether to wait or book now.

  • What is the Hacker Fare option on flights from the United States to Louisiana?

    Hacker Fares allow you to combine one-way tickets in order to save you money over a traditional round-trip ticket. You could then fly from the United States to Louisiana with an airline and back with another airline.

  • What is KAYAK's "flexible dates" feature and why should I care when looking for a flight from the United States to Louisiana?

    Sometimes travel dates aren't set in stone. If your preferred travel dates have some wiggle room, flexible dates will show you all the options when flying from the United States to Louisiana up to 3 days before/after your preferred dates. You can then pick the flights that suit you best.

  • What is the cheapest day to fly to Louisiana?

    Based on KAYAK data, the cheapest day to fly to Louisiana is Saturday where round-trip tickets can be as cheap as $279. On the other hand, the most expensive day to fly is Thursday, where round-trip prices are $308 on average.

New Orleans’ Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) is the largest and most visited airport in the state; flights here are more expensive yet more frequent. Consider giving yourself more time if you plan on booking a flight here.
  • Consider booking a flight to the Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport (BTR) if you want to visit multiple cities and towns around the state. You can use it as a central hub for driving around or for booking domestic flights to cities that are a bit too far to drive to. The airport is a great gateway to other airports, including Shreveport Regional Airport (SHV), Monroe Regional Airport (MLU), and the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport.
  • Consider booking a flight to Louisiana’s Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport for the quickest and most direct way to reach the capital city, Baton Rouge. A drive in a rental car to the capital is about 7 miles from the airport.
  • To reach the southwest portion of Louisiana, consider booking a flight to the Lafayette Regional Airport (LFT). From here you can rent a car and drive the 109 miles to the Texas border. Or, consider booking a flight to Texas’s Jack Brooks Regional Airport (BPT) in Beaumont. Flights are much cheaper to Beaumont than they will be to Lafayette.
  • Flights coming in from the West Coast of the United States, like those from the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), are generally the cheapest flights from the US. The next cheapest flights are from the Midwest, like the Dallas–Fort Worth International Airport (DFW). Cities on the East Coast, like New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), are the most expensive.

Southwest was greaat! The most expensive but the least upsetting for those we were flying to see.

I flew twice this week on Southwest, was delayed over 2 hours both ways. From Pittsburgh to Chicago it was due to weather but the gate agents, pilot etc were great at updating everyone. Today from Midway to Pittsburgh the plane had come from an international location, kept getting delayed, no information was given until we were delayed for the third time. It was ridiculous, whoever scheduled that plane to fly to Pittsburgh after didn’t consider a lot of things.

Boarding was easy. The seats are small and fairly uncomfortable

I was supposed to be on a later flight. When I showed up at the gate, the woman working there was extremely helpful getting moved up to this earlier flight.

We had a 5 hour delay on the tarmac in Baltimore

Long layover between flights to Long Island from BWI - need better coordination between flights

I elected to pay for the upgrades and found very little difference

The new seating arrangement is so over priced for what you get.

The problem with the seat assignments is that there were a lot of rows in the front that were empty but my row at the back was full. Just not so pleasant.

No food or entertainment, just a quick 40 minute flight. A little bumpy due to Santa Ana winds but pilot has no control over that. Good flight and landing!

Entertainment is ok! Boarding and seat with zone is terrible. I paid for the seats but you didn’t give me what I paid for which is exit isles.

the crew cancel the morning service due to the weather. Then the flight got deverted to Nashville . we were on the ground for over two hours the only gave us water once... no food or any snacks.... the crew should have handled better and offered something to passengers.

My recent experience was excellent on Delta! I flew with Delta Comfort and I was really comfortable in my seat. I enjoyed the in-flight service. The flight attendants were so friendly and hospitable. I love the snack on the flight as well. This was my first time flying on Delta and I will definitely consider flying with them again.

My flight was cencaled due with the bad weather on Sunday the crew was poorly mistaken my luggage supposed depart with my flight instead I didn’t have my luggage for almost 3 days the website is poorly respond to my complain until I have someone to do it my connection smooth their not even respon or email me even the have my luggage

Delta needs to step its game up get a more reliable internet service. Internet service was non-existent for this flight.

Mechanical Delay of over an hour with multiple gate changes. Entertainment system down for rejuvenation.

I had a flight cancel and had it rerouted. When the rerouted they put me at a window seat instead of an isle. It was hard sitting by the window because the couple with masks on were making out. I get motion sickness which is why I need to have the isle seat.

NEVER MADE THE FLIGHT BECAUSE DELTA SAID THEY CAN NOT

THEY FAILED ME AND I NEVER GOT ON THE FLIGHT BECAUSE IT WAS SO DELAYED! I ENDED UP HAVING TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A HOTEL AND STAY IN NASHVILLE TO CATCH A FLIGHT FOR THE FOLLOWING DAY. DELTA IS POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE>

8 hours late and the plane smelled like urine, that smell in the morning when your child wet the bed in the night.

Good quick flight on a small but comfortable plane. I'm 6'3 and had plenty of space.

Experience was great - no complaints. Took off on time, landed early. Got to the gate relatively quickly - took a little bit of extra time to deplane but nothing excessive.

Economy plus was so cramped I could not use my laptop. It was beyond bad.

OK, we were delayed and had to de plane and reboard.

United is one airline which regardless of how many separate United tickets in existence, if one flight breaks down, the airline will take care of all the flights.

Both our flights were delayed. Almost didn’t get in the second flight. Staff was rude to the bone.

Both my flight where delayed Had 25min to make it to my transfer flight

Everything was on time and service on the flight was great!

Wifi Bluetooth features for watching in flight movie was horrible. Screen kept blacking out no connection of sound although it said connected. Other than that smooth trip .

The travel company that you have on your site did me so wrong. I don’t know how it happened, but they put my son‘s name on my plane ticket flying to Vietnam. Along with his birthday. They would not have let me fly from Fort Myers to Ho Chi Minh City. I don’t think that I can ever use your service again. I typed my information into the browser along with my passport number and four days before I’m leaving I have to quickly search another ticket to fly out here.

Absolutely terrible. Would never fly American again. 2 deplaned incidents and delayed by close to 24 hours. $12 meal voucher for first class passengers was an insult to the injury. Pathetic.

Terrible planning. And even worse gate agents. Absolutely rude behavior.

Half of the TSA checkpoints at PHL are closed. Also, there is no standby for first class passengers. You can only standby for coach. Very dated policy and inconsistent with peers.

Flight was scheduled at 11:26am but they keep Delaying until midnight. They waited at airport restless.

Rough flight No beverage service due to turbulence Bottom Seat cushion was non existent

Great experience. Good dinner and service. FA's were very nice and attentive.

It was great. Smooth flight, comfortable, left on time and landed on time.

We hoarded. Then we deplaned. Then we waited for 10 hours in the MSP airport due to a wheel misfunction. We understand safety but communication between crew and airport staff was horrible. When we did finally board, we were rushed on and because we were waiting for a “fresh” pilot and crew, we sat in a roasting plane with no A/C for an hour. My question is why was this flight not cancelled right away when they knew this would be a huge issue OR, why did AA not get a substitute plane, considering this was already a full flight? To me, this appears to be a complete breakdown in leadership and utter systems failure. The compensation for completely disrupting travel plans for hundreds, which we paid dearly for, was measly. While we appreciated the lodging for the night, $12 in meal vouchers isn’t going to sustain anyone for over 12 hours. “We apologize; our hands are tied” is no longer an acceptable explanation. We are so completely turned off by this experience and will definitely seek alternative avenues when we need to fly.

Mostly good. The WiFi wasn’t working so that was not great.

I rated the experience "mediocre" because of the 2 hour delay in take off. This is the 4th flight from DFW on AA where there was a delay and in one of the instances (after 13 delays), the flight was cancelled. I understand weather but for the March 18th flight, there was no weather issue in Dallas or Detroit. I called Concierge Key and they were wonderful, booking me on a later flight in case my flight was cancelled. I have flown with American for many years and never has there been this consistent pattern of delays. Very disappointing.

The airplane rattled near the left wing as if several screws were loose. Then after we landed in Fort Lauderdale, we had to sit and wait on the runway for quite some time. It was very scary and TOTALLY unacceptable!

Smooth flight staff very friendly and we arrived 15 mins earlier

I was in the airport when I'll check the status of my flight and it was canceled and without any reason. The worst of the worst ...

I never had an opportunity to experience them! They cancelled my flight TWICE!!!

Return flight was canceled. Needed to reschedule with another airline the next day. Cost an an additional $84. At another airport 45 miles further away

Spent seven hours in the airport with spirit pushing he flight time back two hours every two hours only to then have it canceled without explanation. The employees said, “They’ve been doing this for the last five days.” Would have been great if they told us to expect that when we arrived.

Seat do not reclined and tight space. Flight changed so many times hard to keep up.

Bad airline to travel with my flight was delayed for more than 3 hours they act like it’s normal

No WiFi, no outlets to charge phones, no complimentary beverages on a 6 hour flight

Length of flight was fine Delay of over 3 hours was very bad!! Flight down was delayed 1.5 hours
