How do I get from Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) to the cruise port?
MSY is about 15 miles (24 km) west of downtown — typically 25–35 minutes outside rush hour, longer on a cruise-morning Saturday. The City of New Orleans sets a flat $36 taxi fare from MSY to the Central Business District / cruise terminals for one to two passengers (each additional passenger is $15 more, up to a five-passenger maximum). Uber and Lyft run roughly $30–$45 depending on surge, with no flat regulated rate. The Airport Shuttle runs around $24 per person each way and drops at major downtown hotels.
