Flight from Newark Liberty Airport to New Orleans

FAQs - booking Louisiana flights

  • I want to see Louisiana’s beaches. Where should I fly?

    Nearly the entire state of Louisiana is on the coast. Consider flying to the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport. The flight will give you a nice view of the Gulf of Mexico before you land. From here you can book shorter flights, e.g., to the Lafayette Regional Airport, where a flight stopping in New Orleans will be less expensive than a nonstop flight to Lafayette. Booking a flight to the Baton Rouge airport might be farther from the ocean, but it is also cheaper than flying to New Orleans. A rental car drive isn’t too far from the beach.

  • I want to visit the northeast part of Louisiana. Where should I fly?

    Flying to Monroe and landing at the Monroe Regional Airport is your best choice for seeing northeast Louisiana. Flights here are pretty frequent and not very expensive. This is the closest airport to the western border of Mississippi (1h 9m). You could also book a flight to Jackson, MS, and land at the Jackson-Evers International Airport (JAN).

  • I’ve got a cruise booked departing from New Orleans. Where should I fly?

    New Orleans is a major hub for cruises to locations in different parts of the world, so booking a flight directly to the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport is the fastest way to get here. It’s far cheaper than flying to Baton Rouge, and flights to New Orleans are more frequent as well.

  • What are the major airports in Louisiana with international flights?

    Louisiana has two international airports: Alexandria International Airport (AEX) and the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport. While it is more expensive to fly to Alexandria, it is the best airport for anyone who wants to fly to the central region of the state.

  • How long is the flight to Louisiana?

    An average nonstop flight from the United States to Louisiana takes 3h 20m, covering a distance of 1088 miles. The most popular route is New York - New Orleans with an average flight time of 3h 12m.

  • What is the cheapest flight to Louisiana?

    The cheapest ticket to Louisiana from the United States found in the last 72 hours was $26 one-way, and $38 round-trip. The most popular route is New York LaGuardia to New Orleans Louis Armstrong and the cheapest round-trip airline ticket found on this route in the last 72 hours was $65.

  • Which airlines fly to Louisiana?

    Southwest, American Airlines & Delta fly the most frequently from the United States to Louisiana.

  • What are the most popular destinations in Louisiana?

    Based on KAYAK flight searches, the most popular destination is New Orleans (86% of total searches to Louisiana). The next most popular destinations are Baton Rouge (5%) and Shreveport (3%). Searches for flights to Lafayette (3%), to Monroe (1%) and to Alexandria (1%) are also popular.

  • How does KAYAK’s flight Price Forecast tool help me choose the right time to buy?

    KAYAK’s flight Price Forecast tool uses historical data to determine whether the price for a given destination and date is likely to change within 7 days, so travelers know whether to wait or book now.

Top tips for finding cheap flights to Louisiana

  • Enter your preferred departure airport and travel dates into the search form above to unlock the latest Louisiana flight deals.
  • Booking a flight to Louisiana will give you several airports to choose from. New Orleans’ Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) is the largest and most visited airport in the state; flights here are more expensive yet more frequent. Consider giving yourself more time if you plan on booking a flight here.
  • Consider booking a flight to the Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport (BTR) if you want to visit multiple cities and towns around the state. You can use it as a central hub for driving around or for booking domestic flights to cities that are a bit too far to drive to. The airport is a great gateway to other airports, including Shreveport Regional Airport (SHV), Monroe Regional Airport (MLU), and the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport.
  • Consider booking a flight to Louisiana’s Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport for the quickest and most direct way to reach the capital city, Baton Rouge. A drive in a rental car to the capital is about 7 miles from the airport.
  • To reach the southwest portion of Louisiana, consider booking a flight to the Lafayette Regional Airport (LFT). From here you can rent a car and drive the 109 miles to the Texas border. Or, consider booking a flight to Texas’s Jack Brooks Regional Airport (BPT) in Beaumont. Flights are much cheaper to Beaumont than they will be to Lafayette.
  • Flights coming in from the West Coast of the United States, like those from the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), are generally the cheapest flights from the US. The next cheapest flights are from the Midwest, like the Dallas–Fort Worth International Airport (DFW). Cities on the East Coast, like New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), are the most expensive.

Great. Loved that there was WiFi on flight to keep in touch and excellent service of beverages and snacks.

Great. Loved that there was WiFi on flight to keep in touch and excellent service of beverages and snacks.

Business class is great. New airplane, very comfortable, better than some of the major airlines I am used to

Terrible. Flight was cancelled due to the weather in the east and sout east(florida). Did not get any compesation of any kind. According to them, it was not under their control so I lost all the money paid for the 2 fairs from Raleigh, NC to Orlando, Fl.

great flight. Pilot was communicative, flight attendants were excellent. Really nice experience except my tv didn’t work.

Overall, the flight was better than the flight I took to go to Florida, which had a bunch of problems. The crew is really nice and the plane was new so it had a small problem when we were on the runway, but the flight itself was great. They even made some time back up, which is always a good thing.

There were multiple delays but JetBlue tried to make the boarding and departure process as quick and efficient as possible. The crew was as detached from reality as could be, meaning: not very friendly and just doing things by the numbers.

I had back trouble prior to my flight and everyone was great about helping me.

40 minute delay before take off after boarding flight. Bright lights throughout night flight due Issues with light panels. In flight Entertainment nonfunctional

Everything was good except for deplaning in NY. Took way too long!!

Jet Blue keeps getting iit wrong. 4 hour mechanical delay followed by terrible boarding experience. This is my third horrific jet blue flight in 2024. I am going to try to avoid this loser in the sky

I’ve had a couple flights this week on United that were delayed by an hour or more

Surprisingly easy! I was hesitant to try this, but the cost swayed me. I actually felt like I had less stress than all the taxiing and possible delays that occur with short regional flights where you spend less time in the air than getting to and from the plane..

This flight was delayed multiple times and eventually canceled around 2-3ish. Original take off time was around 10:30am. By 3, there were no other options out of Houston, so stuck in Houston for from 3pm - 11am the next day.

Should have video screens Plane audio was poor and without wired connection hard to understand crew. Should serve more than just cups of water and pretzels on six hour flight. Did not see crew rest of flight. Fix charging sockets to retain charging blocks.

I paid $380 for my one-way ticket from California to Minnesota. The fair did not include online check-in. I received instructions from their app to check in at a kiosk. At the kiosk, the boarding pass would not print until an actual person came to verify that I had a personal item and not a carry-on item, On the plane, the person next to me was drunk and allowed to continue to order alcohol. United is garbage I’d rather fly spirit.

The plane was dirty and the in seat air wasn't blowing as planes usually do.

Generally good but there wasn’t any staff available when my luggage didn’t appear at baggage claim in Fresno. It took about half an hour to locate a staff member to open up the locked room where it was being kept.

Do not like the feeling of being in the basic economy. Everyone should feel good no matter what.

All flights were on time and boarding was issue free

Terrible! The plane was old and you are required to connect your own device to their Wi-Fi rather than have entertainment options in the back of the seat in front of you. The Wi-Fi went out during the flight and there was only one plug for the devices every two seats. Three out of five surrounding my family did not work. The seats and spaces under them were so small I could not fit my backpack, which I’ve always brought on flights and fit before no problem. The crew were unpleasant and patronizing.

Left from gate 30 minutes before flight. Never been late to a flight ever. It says 15 minutes before explicitly on the ticket.

I like the boarding process, it was fast. The seat doesn’t have a TV for a long flight and food wasn’t served, just snacks.

Use planes with TVs on flights over 4 hours. The free entertainment was a cheap in between solution for a very long flight that you don't even bother providing meals or decent snacks.

Even though we left CMI late, we mostly made up the time.

Delayed almost 4 hours for a 45 minute flight with no explanation.

Again, multiple delays and I eventually just canceled and drove!

Great crew. We were delayed so that late passengers could get on the flight. Love the bedding in business class. Good food. Great experience.

The CX617 from HK to BKK was delayed more than 1.5 hours.

Horrible - they lied to me about baggage & boarding, even though I specifically spoke to their agents the day before my flight about my issue. When I showed up they did not let me board and stranded me at my airport until I bought a new flight with money I did not have to spend.

All four American Airlines flights I took in last seven days were delayed. Caused me loads of problems, missed meetings, loss of time and money.

For it to have left on time! Instead of two hours early with zero notice

Flight kept delayed from morning to late afternoon so I had to make other arrangements

Crew was nice, explained emergency protocol very well. Flight took off and arrived on time. Pilot explained the small delay that occurred with docking and providing updates. I would definitely fly spirit again.

Terrible… missed our flight due to ridiculously long time to go thru baggage check-in!

The crew was not great or professional. It seemed like they didn't really want to be there. A true lack of effort for accommodating customers.

Everything was really good but the seats are not very comfortable.

I paid for WiFi, but it (WiFi) was very very slow, will never take again! Impossible open Utube 😤😤😤

I had no legroom, although I paid for extra legroom. I could barely put my bag in front of my feet and under the seat. The Wi-Fi was horrible. In fact the flight attendant said that they had to reboot it and see if it was going to work and never did.

The guy with severe body odor sat next to me. For the whole duration of the flight it was a torture. The airline should have better policy on limiting people with bad body odor to board the flight. Passengers should not be the ones to endure bad odor for the whole duration of the flight. The airline should be e the one to ensure decent air quality for ever passenger.

Overall it was a miserable experience... I will never fly spirit for more than a 3 hour flight or overnight.

I checked a bag because it was $5 less than carry on. They managed to lose my bag on a 2.5 hr direct flight! Frontier has no airport staff at baggage claim to help. As soon as I got home around 11 pm I tried to use their online system to file the claim for lost bag - system wouldn't take the # on my baggage claim ticket - said it was not the correct number. Also said that I had not checked a bag, which wasn't true - even my online boarding pass showed that I had checked a bag. Wasted about an hour on that process with no luck. Tried again in the morning - same thing. So tried online chat with Frontier bot - waited 35-40" twice to be connected to a baggage agent and it never happened. Eventually drove to PDX after work and waited 2 hrs for the Frontier ticket agents to arrive prior to the next Frontier flight out of PDX and FINALLY got some help from one of them, to take me to lost luggage area where I was able to retrive my bag. Probably took 4-5 hrs. of my time and endless frustration to get my bag. This was my first -- and LAST -- experience flying Frontier Airlines. Check-in was also extremely difficult and time consuming. The flight itself (and staff) were fine but everything else about the experience was a total disaster! The fact that Frontier literally has NO WAY to connect to a human voice for customer service (in this case for lost luggage) is the WORST!!!!!

Frontier is a crappy airline nothing about it is honest

I didn't get to do this flight l, hard to review

Not good 😐 Over priced baggage fees Small hard seats No wifi or entertainment options 😕

Didn't like anything!! Horrible flight. Small seating area and hard seats. Butt was sore after 2 hour flight to Seattle No entertainment or free refreshments No wifi or USB charging receptacles to charge phone entoute like other airliners Luggage rates were 3 times as much as competitors. Difficult to navigate online luggue process to pre pay before flight Overall bad experience WILL NEVER RIDE OR RECOMMEND FRONTIER TO FRIENDS OR FAMILY MEMBERS!!! THIS IS A SHAME!! MOST MESERIBLE FLIGHT OF MY LIFE!! AND I THOUGHT SPIRIT WAS 👎 YOU GOT THEM BEAD HANDS DOWN!!

Flight was a little late taking off. Seats are too upright, no ports to charge devices, no wifi, no entertainment

Six hour delay. Poor customer service. No voucher. Bad communication. Missed important appointments.

Our flight was delayed an hour, then when we got to board our flight finally, we were waiting in our seats for take off for 45 minutes before it was communicated that there was a maintenance issue therefore we waited on the plane for over an hour while that was resolved. We did not get to Phoenix until almost 3 hours after we were originally supposed to. This was the first and last time I will be flying Frontier.

Flight was canceled with little warning. Flight was rebooked through Ontario, California and connecting flight was delayed by over three hours. Frontier is living up to their Greyhound of the skies reputation for sure.

I purchased a carry on bag online…was supposed to cost $72 but after a whole slew of bs charges, the total was over $175.00. Because of these hidden charges, I will not even consider flying Frontier ever again. It’s just not worth the hassle. I’m scratching this company off my list forever.
