New Orleans → Metairie: key facts

Getting from New Orleans Airport (MSY) to Metairie takes about 15 min by car on an empty road (15–25 min in heavy traffic) over 14 km via I 10. Our private transfer costs $110 for a car with 1–3 passengers or $150 for a van with 4–8 — the vehicle price you see is the price you pay at booking.

On arrival: The driver waits for you on Level 1 in the baggage claim hall of the terminal, holding a sign with your name, and walks with you to the vehicle at the Ground Transportation Center outside the baggage claim doors. If the flight is late, the driver adjusts to the real landing time; 60 minutes of waiting are included and help with the luggage is part of the service.

Metairie is the large suburban community in Jefferson Parish between the airport and New Orleans, so the drive is short, about 14 km to its centre. The route usually takes Interstate 10 east and leaves it at Causeway Boulevard, Bonnabel Boulevard or Veterans Memorial Boulevard, depending on the address; Veterans Memorial Boulevard and Airline Drive are slower surface alternatives with many traffic lights. Interstate 10 near the Causeway Boulevard interchange is one of the busiest spots in the region at rush hour.

Metairie has no single historic centre. Veterans Memorial Boulevard is its main commercial axis, with the Lakeside Shopping Center, restaurants and hotels, and Causeway Boulevard leads north to the long bridge across Lake Pontchartrain. Old Metairie, near the New Orleans city line along Metairie Road, is the older residential part with shops and the Metairie Cemetery nearby. Lafreniere Park, with its lake and walking paths, lies in the western part of the community. Hotels are mostly along Causeway Boulevard and Veterans Memorial Boulevard.

Public transport instead: Jefferson Transit (JeT) bus E1 Veterans-Airport from Level 1 Baggage Claim, outside Door 2 (bus zones B4 and B5) to stops along Veterans Memorial Boulevard in Metairie, continuing to City Park Avenue in New Orleans, 2.00 US dollars into New Orleans, 5, 10 and 20 dollar bills and coins.
