NEW ORLEANS — The Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport announced that parking rates in its short-term garage, long-term garage and surface lot will increase on March 1. The parking rates in the economy garage and valet area will remain the same.
The updated maximum daily parking rates are outlined below:
| Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport Parking Rates | ||
| Current Max Daily Rate | New Max Daily Rate | |
| Short-Term Garage | $22 | $26 |
| Long-Term Garage | $20 | $22 |
| Surface Lot | $18 | $20 |
| Economy Garage | $12 | $12 |
| Valet | $36 | $36 |
The first half hour in the short term garage and surface lot will remain free, and the first half hour in the long term garage and economy garage will remain at $4. Following that, for each additional half-hour, the rate will increase from the current rate of $2 each half-hour to $3.
“The last parking rate increase was in 2019 when the new parking facilities opened with the new terminal,” said an airport spokesperson. “Contractually, the airport is obligated to adjust its rates every two years, but the rates have not been adjusted until now due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, MSY is aligning its parking rates with industry standards and ensuring optimal fare differences between various parking facilities. Despite this increase, MSY’s parking rates are still below comparable parking facilities at other US airports.”
