KAYAK’s top tips for finding a cheap flight from Philadelphia to New Orleans

  • Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) is a rather large airport, with seven different terminals. There are free shuttle buses running from Terminal F (Gate F-14) to Gate C-16 (which gives access to Terminals C, B, and D) and Gate A-1 (which provides access to Terminals A-East and A-West).
  • Passengers who wish to leave their car at the airport will find that parking is available in all the different Garages (Terminals A-East, A-West, B, C, D, E, and F). International airlines operate from Terminal A-West, and different domestic airlines operate from different terminals, so make sure to check your departure information before heading to the airport – particularly if flying with American Airlines, as their flights don’t always depart from the same terminal.
  • The Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) features four different terminals, and is free of any architectural obstacles for disabled people. Smoking is prohibited in the airport, but there are a couple of designated smoking areas on both the departures and arrivals levels.
  • Passengers at MSY who have lost any items during or after their flight can head to the Lost And Found office, which is located on the Upper Level in the Concourse C Lobby, right by the Airport Police station. It is open Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. If you need to kill some time at the airport, MSY also offers free wi-fi across all terminals.
  • Mothers who are nursing should know there is a Mother’s Room after security in each concourse at MSY, where they will find comfortable seating and a changing table. It could be a good option if your baby is hungry after the long flight.
