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.

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!

Good but I prefer choose your own seat. With the new assigned seats they should board from the back I see no advantage to this new boarding. Just like every other airline

I realize they are still working out kinks with the new boarding process, but by the time I boarded in group 5, most of the bins were full. All airlines should better enforce small bags and jackets going under the seats until everyone has boarded.

WiFi was not working and didn’t have a beverage service

Snacks are always pretzels. Why can't you also offer peanuts ?

Perhaps when you’re sitting in 1st class and the crew closes the bathroom for the pilots, there could be a notification other than holding your hands up as a blockade when you get there and you’re told the restrooms are closed please turn around … especially at night when visibility is poor and you’re met by a flight attendants with their arms up

First class is comfortable. Enjoyed a movie and was able to relax compared to coach.

Loved flying First Class. Very comfortable. The seat was amazing. Enjoyed a movie and was able to relax so much better than in coach.

We landed and sat on the tarmac for 45 minutes because they only have one gate at the airport and there was another plane running late so we had to wait

The WiFi was not working. That made for a long flight.

Absolutely no communication on why there's a delay and multiple flight time reschedules. I would have canceled the flight and drove back home if I known it was going to be rescheduled 3 or 4 times.

Another late night flight and MORE men belligerently drinking and yelling. I had to move from first to economy because they were so obnoxious and disruptive. Crazy to go from a cozy chair to cardboard when you were supposed to be in first. Delta allows was too much drinking which leads to belligerent behavior.

I was in first class and literally the men behind me were so aggressively loud I moved myself to economy. This has become so common on Delta - people using audio without headphones, and men on 12am / late night flights drinking and yelling to talk to each other which prevents anyone around them from resting. Pretty crazy to have to move from first to economy (poorer service, less comfort...). Wild wild. Looking into other airlines.

Love delta smaller commuter plane so no entertainment and paid wifi on MKE-LGA leg was extremely unreliable and slow

Stop changing gates. Stop cancelling flights Stop moving my seat.

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.

Seats are uncomfortable. This has been a trend in the industry for decades. Trying to fit more seats on each plane to increase profits at the expense of the passenger.

The flight was delayed so we were dead tired, and after that the turbulence was horrible. I was very scared.

It’s always a great time flying with united airlines.

Good flight. Efficient boarding and competent flight crew. No problems until we arrived at our destination gate. We were early so there was an aircraft at the gate that had to move before we could pull in. Then, due to the type of aircraft we flew, the cabin door could not be opened until some luggage from the cargo bay was offloaded to preserve center of gravity characteristics. So, that further delayed deplaning. Despite being 20 minutes early on landing, we ended up being 5 to 10 minutes late after all the delays.

Everything went well except the turbulence what no one have a control of but pilot and crew handled very good!

Delay after delay with little communication then AA lost my luggage and at airport would not assist just said scan this QR code to track your luggage and submit a claim. However QR code provided did not work so have to go back to airport

After changing the departure gate 5 times making us mo e from one side of the airport to the other and then back the flight was delayed nearly 2 hours. The male flight attendant had a bad attitude with the guest being condescending, disrespectful with people who were already on edge.

Easy boarding. Rows are smaller but that may be an older and bigger me now :)

It would have been nice if American tried to care.

American Airlines did everything they could with the high Spring Break crowd. I was frustrated to be changed from 1st class to a middle seat at the back of the plane. This has happened before, not sure booking 1st class and paying the extra actually works.

I booked 1st class, my flights were changed and I was sitting in the middle at the back of the plane. A far cry from the 1st class I purchased for my flights. I am grateful I arrived on time.

There was no beverage service and the only time I saw a crew member walk through the cabin is when we were preparing to land.

Our flight was delayed 3 times and this is why I am giving such low reviews. Everything else was okay but being in the airport at 4:30pm for my initial flight at 7pm to not leave until after 9:30pm is insane,

Flights were constantly delayed. CRW took 50 minutes to get bags

Flight has been delayed every time I've ever taken it. Seats uncomfortable. Children behind me yelling the entire flight. Some of this is out of their control but overall just consistently not a great experience.

Like Spirit but bad that you have to pay for water 🙃

My flight was ultimately cancelled but the lack of updates and professionalism from the crew leading up to the cancellation announcement was frustrating for all passengers.

Delay due to personnel issues on Spirit’s end. Original departure time 9:30pm. Took off at 2:15am. Lost an entire night’s sleep bc Spirit couldn’t get a crew together. Very poor.

Sadly the flight was delayed by 4 hours due to the weather snd sir traffic control staffing. Otherwise the crew was amazing and the flight was perfect.

If there are delays, it takes less than a minute for a Spirit employee to make an announcement. It’s very simple.

I’m still waiting to get on the flight. No one knows what’s happening. The passengers have gotten no updates. We have been up all night and waiting at the airport. This is no way to operate and we should be refunded for this lack of respect for their passengers.

The plane was clean and crew was nice. Can’t speak on food as I did not have any

Flight was delayed, then undelayed, then delayed again. Gate was changed to the other side of the airport. Horrible seats with no screens. Spirit os truly awful, even for a budget option.

flight delayed because of poor staffing and organization - confusion from gate agents and flight attendant supervisors scheduling a missing flight attendant. flight delay 1 hr 30 min

I liked the quickness of the boarding process. Things were run smoothly and the staff was very professional. The overall experience was great.
