Long term parking options at New Orleans airport

I usually reserve a spot in short term because it’s so convenient.

Economy is fine. Sometimes it might take a while for the bus to pick you up if it’s busy. But yes, pretty cheap. Parking is at the old airport and can be a 20-30 minute bus ride to and from airport.

Parked at Park N Fly once, but it was efficient and price was good. Bus runs regularly. It’s a quicker trip (5-10 minutes) than economy.

I've been using Park & Fly since new terminal opened. It's an easy in and out when coming in I-10. Shuttle to terminal is usually no-wait. Max wait from terminal has been 5 min... usually much shorter. Two weeks ago, I was surprised to find it almost full, with no covered left. I'll start reserving online from now on just in case.

Thx for all the advice.

The ability to check bags and $10/day.

Short term is the clear leader being connected to the terminal but Economy offers less of a walk than long term, it's $10/day cheaper and takes 20 min (TOPS) longer than long term but can frequently be offset by checking bags at the garage.

There is no way in the world long term is worth 83% more than economy to me. I don't think I would opt for long term if it was 50% more than economy.

I say this as someone who primarily travels with a family and pays for the parking himself. If and when I am a solo / business traveler, Long Term would be easier not having to deal with a shuttle but those who aren't paying for parking themselves are not usually the people asking for parking advice and or considering off-site parking options.

I don’t know jack about the economy deal. A 20 minute bus ride there and back (especially back) seems like sort of a deal killer to me.

I was simply comparing my experience with the short term vs long term and trying to figure out how you came to see such a disparity between the two. I still don’t really get it, but it’s okay I guess.

I've used economy a bunch without issue until last time. I arrived back at MSY on a Sunday and watched four economy lot buses marked employee only pick up and drop off MSY employees before one arrived to pick up general passengers. Waited there a half hour.

If you’re somewhat close, just Uber.

Looks like, for 11 days and a few hours trip, short term is $300. Economy is $140. I’ll try either economy or Park n Fly. Thanks for all the input.

would do anything to avoid parking off site and taking a bus to and from the terminal.

I don't understand this. Why? It takes no time at all from the Economy garage. Park-n-fly, I get that. They're hit or miss and definitely not cheap, outside of a one time special, etc.
