A little something extra

Your trip begins the moment you land.

Lagniappe — pronounced lan-yap — is a Louisiana tradition: the small, unexpected gift given beyond what was promised. The thirteenth beignet in your dozen. It's exactly what we offer every traveler arriving in New Orleans.

Where rideshare apps leave you guessing, we have a suited chauffeur on the ground before your flight lands — monitoring your gate in real time and ready the moment you step into baggage claim. Downtown hotel, French Quarter, cruise port, or Baton Rouge — your transfer is private, flat-rate, and completely stress-free.

Transparent flat-rate transfers

Flat pricing. No meters, no surge.

Good to know

Everything for a calm arrival.

The airport

Louis Armstrong International (MSY), 1 Terminal Drive, Kenner — roughly 25–35 minutes from downtown by private car.

Arrival timing

We suggest 45 minutes after a domestic arrival, 60 for international, to allow for customs and baggage — and we track the flight and adjust automatically.

Booking

Reserve in under two minutes with your flight number, date, destination, and vehicle preference. Confirmation within the hour, every time.

Late-night service

New Orleans doesn't sleep, and neither do we. On-call chauffeurs are available around the clock for red-eye arrivals.

Why travelers choose Lagniappe

Every transfer, perfectly arranged.

From the instant your flight lands, your arrival is handled with precision — no waiting, no confusion, no surprises.

Real-time flight tracking

We monitor your MSY arrival live. Early landing or delayed flight, your chauffeur adjusts automatically — at no extra charge and with no calls required.

Meet & greet service

Your driver waits inside at baggage claim with a name sign, handles every bag, and walks you straight to a vehicle that's already running and ready.

Premium fleet

Mercedes sedans, Cadillac Escalade SUVs, and Sprinter vans for groups. Every vehicle late-model, fully insured, spotless, with Wi-Fi and bottled water.

100% private transfer

No shared shuttles. No strangers. No surge pricing. Your vehicle is reserved exclusively for you — flat rate from MSY to your destination.

New Orleans airport transportation

New Orleans, from someone who lives it.

Louis Armstrong International is the front door to the Crescent City, and we believe the experience should start there — calm, polished, and attentive — not at the end of a long rideshare line. Door-to-door transfers reach every major hotel: the Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton, Windsor Court, Hotel Monteleone, and all French Quarter properties.

Building a bigger trip? Pair your airport transfer with corporate transportation, hourly car service, cruise port shuttle, group transportation, or black car service — all on one account.

Door-to-door transfers to every major New Orleans hotel — the Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton, Windsor Court, Monteleone, and all French Quarter properties.

🚢

MSY to cruise port

Pre-arranged transfers from the airport directly to the Port of New Orleans, with full luggage assistance — timed around your sailing, not a dispatcher's queue.

Groups & families

Cadillac Escalade for families with extra luggage, or a 14-passenger Sprinter for wedding parties and teams flying in together.

Festival & event seasons

Jazz Fest, Essence, Saints weekends, Mardi Gras — route-adaptive vehicles and early reservations keep you moving when the city fills up.

The Lagniappe standard

Effortless airport booking.

Reserving your MSY transfer takes under two minutes. Enter your flight number, date, destination, and vehicle preference — we handle the rest. Your chauffeur is assigned immediately, you receive their name and number before you land, and your flight is tracked in real time with automatic schedule adjustments. Flat, all-in pricing is confirmed before you travel — never a surge. Child safety seats, accessible vehicles, oversized-luggage vans, and multi-language chauffeurs are available on request.

Our signature vehicles

Vehicles as refined as the occasion.

The Mercedes-Maybach for dignified VIP arrivals, the all-electric Escalade IQ for a silent ride with presence, the Cadillac Escalade for families and groups with full luggage room, and the Mercedes Sprinter van carrying up to 14 guests in genuine comfort. Every vehicle is late-model, fully insured, and inspected spotless before pickup — leather interiors, privacy glass, Wi-Fi, and chilled bottled water. Every chauffeur is background-checked, professionally dressed, and fluent in this city.

Questions & answers

Before you fly into New Orleans.

How far is Louis Armstrong Airport (MSY) from downtown New Orleans? +

MSY sits about 14 miles from downtown New Orleans and the French Quarter — roughly a 25 to 35 minute drive depending on traffic and event schedules. Your chauffeur knows the fastest route at any hour and avoids the bottlenecks rideshare drivers get stuck in.

How much does a car from MSY to downtown New Orleans cost? +

Every transfer is quoted as a flat, all-in rate confirmed before you travel — no meters, no surge pricing, and no surprises when you land. Enter your destination at booking and your exact fare is locked in within the hour.

Where will my chauffeur meet me at the airport? +

Your driver waits inside at baggage claim holding a name sign, helps with every bag, and walks you straight to a vehicle that's already running. For private terminals and FBO arrivals, we coordinate curbside or planeside pickup on request.

What happens if my flight is delayed or lands early? +

We track your flight in real time from departure to landing and adjust your pickup automatically — at no extra charge and with no calls required. Whether you're two hours late or thirty minutes early, your chauffeur is there when you reach baggage claim.

Absolutely. Request child safety seats at booking at no hassle, and choose a Cadillac Escalade for families with extra luggage or a Mercedes Sprinter for groups of up to 14 passengers.

How far in advance should I book my New Orleans airport transfer? +

You can reserve anytime and we confirm within the hour, but during Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest, Essence, and Saints weekends our fleet books out fast — reserve 30 to 60 days ahead for festival and parade season to guarantee your vehicle.
