New Orleans: Arrival
Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport , eighteen miles northwest on I-10, has an information booth (8am-9pm) in its baggage claim area. Flat-rate taxi fares into town are $24 for up to two people, $10 each for three or more, and shuttles (tel 504/592-0555) will take you to your hotel (every 10min; tickets available 24hr in the baggage claim area or from the bus driver; $10 to downtown hotels). There's also a public bus from the airport to Tulane Avenue in the CBD (daily 6am-6.30pm; every 15-25min; $1.50), but it holds carry-on luggage only. Greyhound buses arrive next to Amtrak at the Union Passenger Terminal, 1001 Loyola Ave, near the Superdome. Take a cab to your lodgings. United Cabs is by far the best firm (tel 504/522-9771).
