KMSY AIRPORT
Operational guide for flying private/charter
-
Landing runway 11 will greatly reduce taxi time to the FBOs (Atlantic and Signature).
-
No hangar space is available.
-
FBOs are located on the north side of the airport next to the new terminal being constructed. Major road construction can cause delays for crew and passenger vehicles.
Short Overnights
WHERE TO STAY
-
All the typical near-airport hotel offerings are available.
-
Our favorite is the New Orleans Marriott Metairie- FBOs have discounted rate.
WHERE TO EAT
-
Drago's Metairie (Get the charbroiled oysters.)
-
Harbor Seafood & Oyster Bar (Good Poboys)
Long Overnights
WHERE TO STAY
WHERE TO EAT

French Quarter (Middle of the action; can be loud)
-
The Saint Hotel (A Marriott property with an awesome hotel bar!)
-
Courtyard by Marriott New Orleans French Quarter/Iberville (Large rooms, FBOs often have discounted rate)

Central Business District (My favorite area to stay; short walk to the French Quarter but much quieter and more business-oriented)

Renaissance New Orleans Pere Marquette French Quarter Area Hotel (My first choice when coming to MSY)
-
Hampton Inn & Suites New Orleans Downtown (French Quarter Area)
-
Hilton New Orleans Riverside (Right on the river; connected to shopping center)
-
-
The Doris Metropolitan- Our listener, Paul, says the best steak he's ever had was at this restaurant.
-
Clancy's- Great for Creole. Located near Tulane, it's an Uber drive away, but worth it.
-
GW Fin's- Seafood
-
K-Paul's- My (Dylan's) personal favorite
-
Port of Call- Dive bar with great burgers and pizza
-
Palace Cafe- Get the Pasta St. Charles
-
Napoleon House- Try the Pimm's Cup!

Cafe Beignet- Just as good but much less crazy than Cafe du Monde
