Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Metairie
Traveling to Metairie is most convenient via the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY), located just 10.3 km away. MSY offers the fastest and cheapest transit options, primarily via rideshare or local buses. Other airports including Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport (BTR), Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport (GPT), Lafayette Regional Airport (LFT), and Mobile Regional Airport (MOB) are significantly further away, ranging from 113 km to 199 km. These airports serve as secondary hubs, often requiring regional intercity bus connections or expensive private taxi services to reach Metairie. For travelers arriving at these more distant locations, renting a car is almost always the most balanced option in terms of time and cost. While MSY is the only airport with highly integrated local transit, all facilities provide car rental services to bridge the significant geographic gap. We strongly recommend choosing MSY to avoid long, costly ground transfers. Always verify local traffic conditions, especially when traveling along major interstate corridors like I-10, as delays can significantly impact your journey time.

We were visiting our son who just had a liver transplant two weeks ago, and finally was able to find this hotel a few miles away from the hospital. This is the fourth time we’ve stayed here and just can’t say enough about the staff and their kindness and compassion. The room is very comfortable and nice and they have a restaurant next door a IHop open 24 hours, how nice is that.Family friendly

What a great stay at ”Country Inn & Suites”. It's in a very convenient location - service station, restaurants, supermarkets and shopping mall all within 5 min.

Very quiet and peaceful Residence, at a good rate with plenty of snacks and drinks at the front desk. This location is also near the Drago's ”for locals” in Metarie. If you ask locals in NOLA who has the best oysters you will be consistently told to go to the metairie Drago's. It's worth it! This is one of my favorite Residence I've stayed at, mostly because of how peaceful it is. NOLA can be extremely loud and chaotic at times, so if you need a little oasis of calm I highly suggest this spot. Staff were also very nice and professional and this location is extremely safe, if a bit far from the french quarter.FromUS$135

We came to celebrate my birthday and the room was clean, comfortable and customer service excellent. We had purchased the breakfast online option to our room and this saved us about $30 or so on the breakfast buffet, which had your normal things on it but it was fresh, hot and good service. Would definitely stay here again.FromUS$99
