Use the AA app and bring your own g-free snacks. Love that most all your airplanes have the bendable headrest, saves space from packing a pillow so thanks for that!

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.

Make sure to book the better seats that include checked baggage if needed. It costs the same to add it later, but you get roomier seating for the same price.

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 $272. On the other hand, the most expensive day to fly is Thursday, where round-trip prices are $306 on average.

  • What is the cheapest time of day to fly to Louisiana?

  • Enter your preferred departure airport and travel dates into the search form above to unlock the latest Louisiana flight deals.
  • Booking a flight to Louisiana will give you several airports to choose from. 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.

It was canceled. Supposedly weather. But there was no snow in Baltimore. At least we found out before driving to airport

I have not flown Southwest in awhile and had a very pleasant experience. From ticketing to boarding to the flight. The flight left on time and landed ahead of schedule. It won't be so long next time!!

The Southwest experience has definitely taken a dive from its early days. You can no longer deferentiate from other airlines. Air travel is too expensive. Southwest is no longer budget friendly. They have lost me as a loyal customer.

Flight was hours late, unable to sit next to spouse, I have had so much better experiences. Substantially better, only saving grace was that it was a short flight.

An entire day of delays. Cost lots of money. Meals and a hotel.

The WiFi and crew on the plane were good, however, the boarding experience was awful. I paid for the Choice Preferred and was boarded in group 5 so all overhead storage was full. They found room for our luggage, but further back making getting off the plane a nightmare. Also, we were in row 6 and the seats were extremely uncomfortable. Both my daughter and I had no leg room and couldn’t wait to get off the plane.

The charges were ridiculous for an hour flight and the turbulence was very scary.

Still need to work out the kinks on the new assigned seating boarding process. Otherwise, a very good flight.

WiFi did not work. Boarding with the new seating assignments took too long. The temperature in the terminal was obnoxious. +/- 80°

The seats are now more narrow. I paid for front row the seats in the front are even more narrow than before.

two hour delay and the Delta representative on the PA system was unable to understand

An awesome flight crew. FC seat cushion just doesn’t cut it for a 3+ hour flight.

2+hrs delay without any reason provided and a cramped flight

We waited an hour on the runway to get a gate in Orlando

Flight was delayed by 3-hours and their fix was… complimentary pretzels.

Flight was delayed due to crew being not on time

Flight crew issues delayed my flight by 2 1/2 hours. Causing me to miss my connection.

The staff on board and gate was nice - a welcome change from the usual. We also arrived early, which was a great benefit, given that it takes 30 minutes plus to get bags at SRQ.

The staff was frielndly. The plane was terrible, it was too small and should be decommissioned. There were no back seat screens at all. The only beverages we had a choice from was coffee, tea or water. The only bathroom in the back was behind the flight attendant's jump seat and wasn't working. And I literally felt like I was sitting on top of the guy next to me. It was terribly hot in the plane and we had to sit on the tarmac in Chicago for 1/2 hour due to congestion in Mpls. Wouldn't they have know that before they even boarded us so that we could have sat in comfort in the terminal?

Never got on it. Was re-routed through Detroit and am still in airports 12 hours later waiting for my connecting plane to arrive.

We got delayed three hours and nobody thought to have the bathroom fixed while we were sitting waiting to board? took a full hour to have maintenance come and check it off. Had to shut the bathroom down twice so that the pilots could go to the bathroom. Everyone missed their connections.

Flight left on time and we arrived 25 minutes early! There was a gate available when we arrived so early on a busy Sunday afternoon! Flight attendants came around twice with the drinks cart.

Wonderful. Quick boarding. Early departure and we arrived 30 minutes early at our destination. Unfortunately, when you arrive early, there is still a departing aircraft at our gate. We had to park for 30 minutes until the gate was clear. So our early arrival was not really early at the gate. Otherwise it was a quick and smooth flight. Appreciated the efficiency.

Everything was great except for the boarding process. Everyone is lining up all at the same time and it’s hard to tell between the groups as they are way too large.

Women boarding passengers at the gate was absolutely rude and disrespectful of passengers. The flight attendant was absolutely delightful! Smiling and connected with the passengers. So happy. The seats are cramped and uncomfortable but I guess that’s just the way it is Communication regarding flight was excellent

Overall we had a good experience during our flight from San Francisco to Houston.

Airport terminal was outdated, flight was on a small jet with no wifi

We were delayed for about an hour from taking off due to traffic control procedures at the destination airport. But once in the air, the flight went well. The crew members were great and provided cabin service despite moderate turbulence during much of the flight.

it was a very short flight so my expectations were low.

As great a red-eye flight as red-eye flights can be.

Arrived early picked up my bag in a few minutes- great trip - thank you

Flight boarded, departed and landed on time. Excellent service from flight attendant in FIRST

Boarding is always an ordeal. Less dogs on flights. I am highly allergic to dogs and cats. Why are there so many animals these days?

Flight to Tampa was delayed taking off due to plane arriving late but no other issues

There was a delay with the plan which cause the flight to leave later and once arrived in Chicago there was another delay and some passengers missed their connecting flights

Massimo, flight attendant was very authentic, attentive - wonderful. Food/wrap was just okay.

Worst experience ever. Flight could not land in Charlotte for what we were told was a ground stop. Had to be diverted to Raleigh to refuel. Strangely during ground stop, our connecting flight had no issue taking off on time causing us to miss our flight. We were told there were no other flights that day to our final destination and that two days out was the next one. The only flights to get us there were from Chicago the next morning. Completely opposite direction but it was a direct flight. So we get flown to Chicago and have to find a hotel in our own dime. The flight in the morning was also delayed. Thankfully only a short time. The non too of all this, our luggage did not arrive by the time we were there. Communication was terrible, through the entire trip. Complete incompetence. Will never fly American again.

I am an AA flyer for a very long time... AA has yet to disappoint.

Flight was delayed. Not much information on when the flight would take off. Eventually we were told it was maintenance. App was not giving updates.

Never ontime and always delays. Long waits for customer service and often app doesn’t work

Flight was on time with no issues. Price is very competitive. Flight schedule works well for me

They charged late fees for selecting seats (no $0 options). They also changed my gate within the last half hour and are refusing to reimburse my costs to drive across the country with two small children in a rental car.

I was waiting in line for the restroom onboard, the flight attendant told me to step back two rows and stay on the carpet. She was rude and I expected a tik tok experience with me getting thrown off the plane. She was rude and frankly there was no where else to stand.

I needed a cheaper option than Southwest who are almost as bad as Spirit...did the check in the morning of the flight and assigned the last row, middle seat. Paid 20.00 at the airport for an exit row window in 19 and all 8 rows behind me which sold occupied on their seat map were empty....so they force to you to pay for a better seat....I was alone in row 19 and shortly after take off two huge fat people came and grabbed the other seats, I rang the call button for the attendant and said I paid 20.00 for this seat and they just moved in here...I either want to be reseated, or have them take their original seats or a refund of what I paid, the attendant made them move back to their original seats. Worst, worst worst airline in the air....never again, never again, never again.

It was cancelled a few hours before take off. Spirit has yet to confirm I will be refunded for the trip

gate agents with the different rules at the different airports. made me pay for my bag as a carry on instead of a personal item, yet it fit under the seat on the way from Indy to Ft Laud

charging $3 for really bad and cold coffee on airplane flight is ridiculous.

We flew Spirit because it was cheaper but the seats were so uncomfortable. I don;t need to be fed snacks on a plane but when it's a 3-4 hour trip then at least a drink is nice. The flight attendants had nothing to do the whole flight except for gossip loudly to each other right behind our seats, and they talked so much my husband couldn't even rest! I was fine with no tv or entertainment but the seats were so uncomfortable with no recline, no padding, and I am short but even for me to leg room was tough for a 3-4 hour trip. We probably would fly spirit again if we had to, but it's definitely not our favorite!

There was absolutely nothing good about this fight. They delayed us for over 2 hours to give our plane to a flight going to Tampa. By the time we got to norfolk conditions were too bad to land so they took us to Charlotte to refuel so they could fly back to Fort lauderdale. There was almost no communication from the pilot, no wifi, no chargers, and they wouldn't even give us free water when we were stuck in Charlotte refueling.

Checking in and getting to gate fast and leasy at Laguardia airport. There is no entertainment on the plane and food was for purchase. Great experience flying with spirit
