FAQs for booking flights from Nashville to New Orleans

  • How far is Nashville International airport from downtown Nashville?

    Nashville International Airport is only about 9 miles away from downtown. There are plenty of ways you can get here, but the quickest would be through a taxi or private airport shuttle. These are, however, expensive when compared to the bus, so if you’re traveling on a budget, that would be the best one. The bus can be boarded at Fulton Station. While you’re there, take the 18 towards Airport Via Elm Hill, and you’ll arrive at the airport in no less than 40min.

  • How can I get wheelchair services at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport?

    Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) offers wheelchair services to all passengers with limited mobility. The best way to get access to these services would be by informing your airline during booking. You can do so by ticking the ‘special needs’ box. That way, the airline can then put it on your reservation record such that the moment your plane lands, you’ll have someone to help you from the gate to baggage claim and ground transportation.
