Top tips for finding a cheap flight from Philadelphia to New Orleans

  • Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) is a rather large airport, with seven different terminals. There are free shuttle buses running from Terminal F (Gate F-14) to Gate C-16 (which gives access to Terminals C, B, and D) and Gate A-1 (which provides access to Terminals A-East and A-West).
  • Passengers who wish to leave their car at the airport will find that parking is available in all the different Garages (Terminals A-East, A-West, B, C, D, E, and F). International airlines operate from Terminal A-West, and different domestic airlines operate from different terminals, so make sure to check your departure information before heading to the airport – particularly if flying with American Airlines, as their flights don’t always depart from the same terminal.

  • Passengers at MSY who have lost any items during or after their flight can head to the Lost And Found office, which is located on the Upper Level in the Concourse C Lobby, right by the Airport Police station. It is open Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. If you need to kill some time at the airport, MSY also offers free wi-fi across all terminals.
