Flight
This airport is the only one for New Orleans, and is easy to navigate. It is about 25 minutes outside of the city in Kenner, so you'll need a taxi, lyft, or take the shuttle from the airport into the city.
Train
There are street car lines all over New Orleans. The main St. Charles and Canal Street lines span major portions of the city and are a pretty and convenient way to get around. A ride is only $1.25, and a day pass is $3.00.
Hotel
I love this place, and have friends who have stayed here before. Super comfy and very centrally located in the downtown area. You can walk easily to anything and the street car goes right past it. There's also a rooftop pool and two beautiful bars.
Hotel
Jess' mom stays here when she comes into town, and it's very cute and comfortable. Located right in the French Quarter but on a quieter street
House Or Rental
An Air BnB may interest you if you're not into hotels. There's a ton of options all over the Quarter and downtown area. Midcity and Garden District are a bit further from the Quarter, but also have cute and affordable options for those of you all bunking together. Note; Air BnB's are still very present but are actually not technically allowed in the FQ, so the owners may ask you to keep your staying there a secret from the neighbors... shh!
