Visitor & Driver Tips

When approaching the lot from US-61 traveling eastbound or westbound, reduce speed in advance as traffic on Airline Highway can move rapidly during peak commuting hours. Program 10405 US-61 directly into your navigation app to avoid missing the access driveway. If you are using this facility for park-and-ride staging to Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, schedule your rideshare pickup 10 to 15 minutes before your preferred airport arrival window to ensure prompt terminal drop-off.
