The Super Bowl, regarded as one of the most significant sporting events globally, is set to bring a surge in air travel to New Orleans this year. As fans prepare for Super Bowl LIX on February 9, featuring the Philadelphia Eagles against the Kansas City Chiefs, both public and private airports in the city are gearing up for increased traffic.
The event will be held at Caesars Superdome, a venue with a history of hosting major sports events. The city's appeal as a tourist destination is enhanced by its cultural offerings and vibrant nightlife.
Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) is expected to handle most of the commercial flights. Airlines like United, Delta, JetBlue, and Frontier have added additional services to accommodate the influx of visitors. However, many affluent travelers are likely to use Lakefront Airport (NEW), located near Lake Pontchartrain.
