Flights from Orlando (MCO) to New Orleans (MSY)

You’ll feel like you’re part of the group of saints as they go marching in when you deplane at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport. Rent a car, call a ride share or cab, or hop on a bus from the RTA or the JET—they leave nine times daily and will whisk you right into downtown New Orleans. Begin your vacation adventure with a tour—bar tours, food tours, cemetery tours, haunted location tours, swamp tours, history tours—it’s all here and waiting for you to take advantage! Tour the city and see where its own special brand of mystery and magic will pull you.

Exploring sure does work up an appetite, and you’re likely to find lots of places to grab a bite while on your adventure. Hungry for seafood? There are fresh options everywhere. Authentic soul food abounds as well. Cajun and Creole options cannot be missed—why come to New Orleans if not to avail yourself of its signature cuisines? Have a sweet tooth? Finish your meal with beignets, or try bananas Foster, which was first made in Nawlins.

If you find yourself in town for Mardi Gras, be sure to catch some of the fun. Bands, parades, and beads—fun for the whole family, but also great for a group of singles looking for a rowdy night on the town. No matter how you decide to spend your time in New Orleans, when you book with Southwest Airlines you’ll have a little bit more money in your pocket to spend on whatever takes your fancy.
