Guest guest Posted August 23, 2002 Report Share Posted August 23, 2002 This trip is proving difficult to organise as the only airport I can find in New Orleans is the International and all the flight bookers I can find to get prices cannot find it and suggest I try another airport???????????? Thank you Jim for suggesting the Hilton, apparently there are two Hiltons which one do you prefer and is it near the French Quarter, as apparently that is where it 'happens' I have actually found a package which will take me there to the Ramada Plaza Hotel Inn on Bourbon, looks OK in the brochure anyone know it??? We are looking at going early March, is it hot then???? Thank you all for your helpful advice JILL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 23, 2002 Report Share Posted August 23, 2002 Gillian, the Air port code is MSY and it is in Kenner which is 16 miles from New Orleans. By the way, in the French quarter's Try " Royal Orleans " but the real deal is away from there and in up town New Orleans ie, St Street.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2002 Report Share Posted August 23, 2002 Jill, The airport code for New Orleans is MSY. I just did a quick search on my favorite internet travel tool, sidestep (www.sidestep.com) and found flights from Heathrow and Gatwick to New Orleans (all with a stop and presumably a change of planes) for between $500 and $900 USD per person. I forget where in the UK you live, but you might be able to fly out of Manchester is that is more convenient, although I didn't do the search for that. As far as hotels are concerned, Ramada is an okay chain but generally the Hilton's are nicer (and more expensive). Check the Hilton site - I think the Hilton Riverside is the one Jim mentioned: http://www.hilton.com/en/hi/hotels/index.jhtml;jsessionid=OERTIN50UEMKZJ31AO Q2JLQ?ctyhocn=MSYNHHH I've never been to New Orleans but I think there are places that you really DON'T want to stay -- from what I hear it's a wonderful city but like London, has it's bad side too. Hope this helps!

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2002 Report Share Posted August 23, 2002 Jill, Sorry only one airport. There two Hiltons. As I remember, the Ramada is very nice, but, take a look at its location. Since I don't know exactly what you need, I have included several information web sites which I hope will provide more information than you need. If you need more information, don't hesitate to contact me again. March is usually warm days and cool sweater nights. Do nor go to New Orleans while Mardi Gras is on. It ends on March fourth next year. Overall, after March fourth is a very good time to go. The garden district will be almost in full bloom, the azaleas should be glorious. If you wouldn't mind, let me know which site provided the best all round information. Remember, this is a tourist town, but the jazz is out of this world. People visiting New Orleans find they come away with very personal memories and a personal experience that was not expected. Enjoy!

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2002 Report Share Posted August 24, 2002 Jill, I can find all kinds of flights from either Gatrick (LGW) or Heathrow (LHR) to New Orleans, LA (MSY) on Yahoo (Travelocity). Flights start about $750 round trip and up (USD). Take care, Bill Werre ================================================ > > > Date: 2002/08/23 Fri PM 04:37:34 CDT > To: " Shydrager (E-mail) " shydrager > > Subject: Hilton in New Orleans > > > This trip is proving difficult to organise as the only airport I can find > in New Orleans is the International and all the flight bookers > I can find to get prices cannot find it and suggest I try another > airport???????????? > > Thank you Jim for suggesting the Hilton, apparently there are two Hiltons > which one do you prefer and is it near the French Quarter, as apparently > that is where it 'happens' > > I have actually found a package which will take me there to the Ramada > Plaza Hotel Inn on Bourbon, looks OK in the brochure > anyone know it??? > > We are looking at going early March, is it hot then???? > > Thank you all for your helpful advice > > JILL > > > If you do not wish to belong to shydrager, you may > unsubscribe by sending a blank email to > > shydrager-unsubscribe > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
