Because of your video I purchased a jazzy pass for bus to get to hotel and around town.

Very good information. I am traveling to New Orleans soon. Thanks.

My family always takes a bus. Traffic is horrible on the I-10. One bag or Bacpack and carry-on travel is perfect for the bus.

I took the bus from MSY to the FQ a few years back. Never again. I mean it's WAY cheap, but I landed many blocks from my AirBNB and rolled my bags through piss-soaked, sketchy locations to get there. Uncomfortable. The cost of a cab or Uber is, IMHO, well worth the comfort and safety of traveling door-to-door. Side note: thanks for date-posting your information. Things change, and it's great to have that context.

Miss you and Robbie’s tours. You are the best for New Orleans

Thanks. I think the shuttle is now available only to groups (10 or more?). I’ll try the bus if my luggage is minimal.

Heading to New Orleans in a few days and I'm super excited. I almost feel ready thanks to the videos! Appreciate you!!!

Im heading down to New 😮Orleans in ten days for jazzfest super informative. Thanks for the help.

I visited with my sister and lifelong friend a year ago, 2021. We were walking down the street and I heard your familiar voice. I said hi but couldn't join you because we had plans. I was thrilled that our paths crossed. I am planning another trip and planning some walking tours. I have two new knees! Hahaha. It will be next 2023 October, just booked the room. I heard in a recent video that you aren't doing walking tours anymore, I will miss out. I will still check out the walking tours though. All the best.

I'm heading to New Orleans in June. This was really useful information.

Great idea for this video. Informative and to the point. Tips galore in this short gem. Thanks for bringing us all back down to the crescent city, the best city and saving us from further airport hassles! Love y’all ☺️! Also, when do we get another hour/hour plus tremendous, triumphant and expertly crafted guided walks through one of the many glorious neighborhoods of New Orleans?

While Andrew is way too cool to plug his other work, I am not. He has an audio-drama podcast out called "The Snake's Paw." Check out our latest episode, cowritten and staring Andrew, right here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XPpivew0KdU.html

Always wondered about MSY, thanks for the tidbit!

Thanks Andrew for mentioning Xavier. I've made that trip from MSY several times.

Thank you so much! I can’t wait to see NOLA. Greetings from Poland 😊

I take a cab they are nice and point out interesting places I probably will not travel back to during my stay so it's nice to see them

Miss you Andrew.

Andrew is very informative, but for me, who has been to New Orleans a dozen times, I have just always taken a cab. its only 15 miles!

Andrew I love your videos. You are so informative and I love your coverage of N.O. Thank you. Stay safe. Stay blessed. MERRY CHRISTMAS

Thanks for sharing this! I ended up taking the E bus! Very easy and affordable!

Thank you for this. Very helpful.

Thanks Andrew! Great information. See you next month!

Great info Thanks

Just wanted to say that your guys videos helped me and my wife have an amazing trip to New Orleans.

Great timing! We'll be there Saturday!

Thank you sir for the very helpful info. Just subscribed and will be perusing your channel for more helpful information as we prepare to visit NOLA in the near future. 😀 👍

TY. I didn't know about the shuttle option. I'm so used to ubering but I love to save a coin. I'm heading there early January.

Very informational. Thanks.

Hi Andrew, good to see you! Very informative video. Thank you. I'll be visiting with my family for a few days during Mardi Gras and you explained the buses so clearly. One more thing. I'm not sure if you have covered the Mississippi Christmas bonfires but if not that would be a nice video. Or I'll look for your Christmas videos from last year. Hope to see you guys in February!

Thanks for this very important information. My son and I are traveling to New Orleans in June, and I was wondering about this very issue...whether to take a shuttle or taxi to our hotel when we arrive, or rent a car. This will definitely help with that decision!

How have you been? I miss your face, Happy Holidays 😊.

Great video. We are returning for our third trip and your videos have enlightened us to a few things we didn’t know. Do you know if you can take luggage on the bus? Thanks for the videos.

Your videos are terrific. Really enjoyed all your videos and look forward to meeting you in person for New Years!

Andrew Andrew I miss you, I need a new video and I’ll be there October 13-18 staying in the business district

Happy Holidays ! Let me double down on the rental car or having a car period 'in town'. First time I went to New Orleans 30+ years ago it was via a car, traveling down the Natchez Trace. (BTW if you have a car, Natchez is a great place to visit)I have never driven a car there since, & I typically visit once or twice a year. Oh, & it hasn't exactly 'improved' in the past 30 years...FYI

I’m travelling to New Orleans from Scotland UK in November to catch the Saints Vs Rams game. Your videos are really informative I’ll be checking out the rest day by day 😊

Can you do a video about the 50th anniversary of the Bayou Classic?

thank you

Yea Andrew’s back…. Where’s those T shirts?

Last time I went to Nola lift and unber were charging around 100 bucks for a ride into town.

I wish I would of seen this before I came here. I had my language and my wheelchair walker. But maybe an hour later I saw the spot where the cabs line up. I moved here to live but left an abusive situation and my choice was my dream place to live in was NOLA. I didn't want to live anywhere else in the USA I found a great place I feel safe at. And look forward to making friends and one day join a krewe. Love ya hugs and peace to everyone

The airport was originally named Moisant Field after daredevil aviator John Moisant, who died in 1910 in an airplane crash on agricultural land where the airport is now located. Its IATA code MSY was derived from Moisant Stock Yards, as Lakefront Airport retained the code. In World War II the land became a government air base. It returned to civil control after the war and commercial service began at Moisant Field in May 1946.

Thanks for the info. You are so knowledgeable about your area. My account was cancelled for a while so I could not like and comment! I'm back :)

Thanks!

Andrew are you doing any more videos ?

Thank u very helpful

Well, Northwest Arkansas National Airport near Bentonville is given the Code XNA! How that is I don't know, but Breeze Airways provides a non-stop ✈️ between the two cities!

Planning a visit in the near future, but I was planning on taking Amtrak into NOLA, if nothing then for the novelty of it, and staying in the French Quarter. Any tips for that route or advice in general? Sorry if this has already been previously answered.

So several years ago, pre Uber/Lyft , we ended up with a limousine driver that was our taxi ride from the airport to the French quarter. They gave us a “mini” tour on our ride into town. Are there options for something like this in today’s world? Thanks in advance.

Are the rental car center at the new airport is completely ridiculous. The last time I was in New Orleans on business and had to return a car I wasn’t aware that it was going to be a 45 minute project to get to the rental car center to return the car, wait for a shuttle bus and then get to the actual airport. Who got paid off and who sold the land for that boondoggle?

What about if we have checked baggage, Can we take the bus? I mean is there enough space...

Thanks for this. I will be coming to Nola in February 2022 from the UK. Is it okay to take the bus at 20:00. I am a seasoned traveller and would have no problem taking public transport in most major cities in Europe at this time of night.

He's handsome. I like it.

Being Australian we are not used to tipping, what would a normal tip be for the taxi driver $36 fare

DON'T TAKE THE SHUTTLE BUS - IT TAKES FOREVER! And the only way it's a cheaper option is if you're traveling alone. If you're with someone that $24 one-way becomes $48 which is $12 more than a cab for two people. And the cab is MUCH faster.

Where is your blog post. I heard the bus shuttle takes up to two hrs.

Even the locals during MG walk to work because transportation is….slow to put it mildly

Ok I wanna take a shuttle

How late does the bus run? We arrive at 11 pm on a Wed.

What about bicycle rentals in NOLA?

Does anyone know which bus to take to get to Renaissance New Orleans Pete Marquette Marriott on 817 Commons Street?

the shuttle is a bad idea. they almost made me miss a flight

Renting a car for me no

Louis. Not Lewis lol

You DO NOT want to drive in New Orleans unless you live there. Seriously. Pot holes, construction, narrow one way streets, insane parking prices, crazy drivers, and, oh yeah, car jacking. Just don’t.

when you are talking about trip costs, the word is FARE not fair. Come on, that's like 3rd grade spelling!

Thanks!
