What is an Airport Shuttle?
We are an on-demand shared ride vehicle service. We use large vehicles with lots of storage. We understand the stress of air travel and our reliability and advance reservations reduce that pressure.
Where can I purchase ticket once I arrive at airport?
If purchasing your ticket(s) at the Airport, proceed to the baggage claim area on the ground level (see map). After you have retrieved your luggage, proceed to one of the Airport Shuttle ticket desks, located across from baggage claim areas 1, 5, 9, 11 and 12. More details
What will the Airport Shuttle vehicle look like?
Our vehicles are white with yellow lettering that says "Airport Shuttle" on its side. An excellent marker on the side of every vehicle is our phone number, 522-3500. If you do not see 522-3500 on the side of the vehicle, it is not us!
How long will I have to wait for the Airport Shuttle after purchasing ticket?
Service is available on a continuous basis with vehilces departing approximately every 30 minutes from 9:00 AM through 10:00 PM. Having an advance reservation will ensure your timely departure to or from the Airport.
What happens if my arrival flight is delayed or canceled?
If your flight is delayed you will still have a reservation on the next departing shuttle. Service from New Orleans International Airport is available on a continuous basis with vehicles departing approximately every 30 minutes. Please present your web ticket to an Airport Shuttle Loading Dock Representative after you have retrieved your baggage.
How do I arrange for the Airport Shuttle to pick me up from my hotel/destination?
For Departure Reservations, please call 504-522-3500 no later than 24 hours prior to your flight. Domestic flights require passengers to arrive 2 hours prior to flight departure; international flights require passengers to arrive 3 hours prior to flight departure. Please inform the Reservationist if you have an international flight so we may schedule an earlier pick-up time.

Our luggage policy is three (3) average-sized pieces per person as per airline specifications. Oversized or additional luggage is subject to an additional fee. (Please note: Our vehicles cannot handle equipment or large items.)
