New Orleans for private flyers: airports, seasons and events

New Orleans demand clusters around a few large events: Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest and major games at the Superdome. MSY in Kenner is the region's commercial airport and has two FBOs on its North GA Ramp, while Lakefront Airport northeast of downtown serves as a general aviation reliever.

In our order of preference for a private flight; routes on this page are priced from MSY. The airport changes the price, so ask about each. Each airport's page has its runways, customs and which jets fit. “Suits” is our rule of thumb from runway length and elevation: weight, temperature and the jet's own numbers decide it on the day.

Cost against time

Every route from New Orleans, by cost and flight time

The bill is roughly hours times the rate, so cost climbs with time, and steps up where a trip needs a bigger jet. Minimums make the shortest hops cost more than their flight time.

New Orleans private jet charter: questions

How much does a private jet from New Orleans cost?

About $7,500 to $9,500 one way to Houston on a light jet; $13,500 to $17,000 one way to Palm Beach on a light jet; $35,000 to $40,000 one way to Los Angeles on a midsize jet. Across all 212 destinations we price from New Orleans, one-way estimates run from about $5,500 (Pensacola) to $114,000 (Fairbanks). These are estimates from published jet card rates times the flight time, not quotes: minimums, peak days and airport fees change the final price.

How much is a 2-hour private jet flight from New Orleans?

About $15,000 to $19,000 in a light jet, $19,000 to $21,000 in a midsize jet, $24,000 to $26,000 in a super-midsize jet, $29,000 to $33,000 in a large jet: two hours times the published hourly rates, before minimums. About two hours from New Orleans: Miami, Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale.

How much is a private jet from New Orleans to Las Vegas?

About $31,500 to $36,000 one way on a midsize jet, 3 hours 25 minutes nonstop for 1,497 miles. A round trip on different days is about twice that. An estimate from published rates, not a quote.

How much is a private jet from New Orleans to Houston?

About $7,500 to $9,500 one way on a light jet, 1 hour nonstop for 301 miles. A round trip on different days is about twice that. An estimate from published rates, not a quote.

Where do private jets fly from in New Orleans?

We price New Orleans from MSY (Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport). The airport changes the price and the drive, so ask about each when you book.

How far can a private jet fly nonstop from New Orleans?

By our conservative range assumptions, a light jet (about 1,700 nautical miles) reaches 192 of 212 destinations, the farthest being Bend; a midsize jet (about 2,000 nautical miles) reaches 204 of 212 destinations, the farthest being Trinidad; a super-midsize jet (about 3,000 nautical miles) reaches 207 of 212 destinations, the farthest being Anchorage; a large jet (about 4,000 nautical miles) reaches 212 of 212 destinations, the farthest being Kauai. Beyond that, plan a fuel stop. Payload, winds and runway length decide it on the day.

What's the lowest-cost way to fly private from New Orleans?

Fly the smallest jet that makes the trip nonstop (a light jet covers 192 of these routes), avoid peak days, and compare one-way pricing with a round trip. A jet card fixes the hourly rate ahead of time; compare cards within one jet size. For a super-midsize jet, CRAFT's is $12,950 an hour on the 25-hour card, fuel and FET included, on a Challenger 350. Empty legs and shared flights exist, but they run on someone else's schedule. No estimate here is a guaranteed price.

Can I fly private from New Orleans to Mexico or the Caribbean?

Yes. 64 of the routes on this page cross a border, including Los Cabos (3h 00m, nonstop in a light jet), Nassau (2h 10m, nonstop in a light jet) and Tortola (4h 00m, nonstop in a light jet). An international flight clears customs at an airport of entry and everyone needs a passport. CRAFT's card rate covers the lower 48; Caribbean, Mexico and Canada trips add repositioning at $4,000 an hour plus handling.

Where do private jets land in New Orleans?

MSY in Kenner has two FBOs on its North GA Ramp. Lakefront Airport, northeast of downtown, is a general aviation reliever that also handles charter and private flights.

When is New Orleans busiest for private flights?

Event weeks drive demand: the Sugar Bowl in January, Mardi Gras in February or early March, and Jazz Fest over two weekends in late April and early May.
