Transportation Info
New Orleans is one of the world’s busiest ports and the cultural capital of the South, yet the
city is remarkably compact and easy to navigate. Visitors are always pleasantly surprised to learn that many of
the city’s attractions, accommodations and event venues are within walking distance of each other; in fact, “hoofing it”
(in New Orleans’ case, translated as walking or grabbing a mule-drawn carriage) is a favorite means of transportation in
the Crescent City. But, if you prefer wheels to legs, New Orleans has a very accessible and reasonably priced public
transportation system, too. It only costs $1.25 to take an RTA bus... or one of the city’s famed streetcars, which travel
the Riverfront and Canal Street. Where else can you actually ride on a historic landmark?
Louis Armstrong International Airport (MSY) is 15 miles from the Central Business District and French Quarter.
- Taxicabs: A cab ride costs about $28.00 from the airport to the Sheraton New Orleans, French Quarter and
surrounding areas for one or two persons and $12.00 (per passenger) for three or more passengers. Pick-up is on the lower level,
outside the baggage claim area. There may be an additional charge for extra baggage. As of 1 January 2010, all taxis are required
to accept major credit cards without the addition of a surcharge.
- Airport Shuttle: You may reserve a shared ride service between the Sheraton New Orleans Hotel and Louis Armstrong International
Airport through New Orleans Airport Shuttle. Rates are $15 pp one way / $30 pp roundtrip. Call 504-522-3500 for information or make
reservations online at: http://www.airportshuttleneworleans.com.
Advance reservations are required 48 hours prior to travel for all ADA accessible transfers. Please call well enough in advance
for the specially-equipped shuttle to be reserved.
