New Orleans (MSY) Flights

Bob Dylan once said “Everything in New Orleans is a good idea”, and that pretty much sums it up. In this Southern U.S. city, that means everything from French pastries to dancing in the street. Another good (actually, great) idea: Checking out cheap flights to New Orleans on lastminute.co.nz and making your next holiday one to remember.

Getting Around New Orleans

The airport express bus can get you from New Orleans International Airport (MSY) to the city centre before you can say “Mardi Gras”. From there, well, let’s just say “These boots were made for walkin’” might as well be NOLA’s theme song.

When You Land…

You know New Orleans flights are bringing you to one of America’s foodie cities—so even if you arrive before the sun comes up, you might as well get started. The French Quarter’s bakeries will be open for business, so we hope you’re ready to get down on some beignets.

Afternoon arrivals are just in time for a feast for a different sense: the ears! Louis Armstrong Park is named afterthe famous musician, and you’re almost guaranteed to hear jazz orchestras, brass bands or at least a drum circle.

You certainly don’t need to pick one of the evening flights to New Orleans in order to start partying right away—but it doesn’t hurt. You know what to do: Wander down to Bourbon Street and order up a hurricane.

Live Like a Local

Bourbon Street’s northern sister, Frenchmen Street, isn’t exactly a secret. Still, you’ll feel super in-the-know as you kick it with musicians, artists and, well, we don’t know what that guy is. Just ’cause you’ve got to go back to thehotels in New Orleans doesn’t mean you’re not an honorary local, too.

All right, future hip-shaker and two-stepper. Why not bundle your accommodation and airfares with awesome New Orleans packages from lastminute.co.nz? Mix and match to make your perfect holiday, and save your dough for dough—in beignet form.
