Founded in 1971 as an upstart airline that served only Texas, Southwest has grown significantly since then. Now a budget carrier that now serves much of the continental U.S., Southwest flies into just one airport in Louisiana.
The only airport Southwest Airlines provides service to in Louisiana is Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport.
All Southwest flights arrive at and depart from Concourse B in the airport. All gates in this concourse serve Southwest Airlines.
The airport code for Louis Armstrong International is MSY. The code stands for Moisant Stock Yards, which was the name of the property before it became an airport.
Southwest offers direct or connecting flights to all the other cities it serves from New Orleans. The website for information and booking is www.southwest.com.
When making your travel plans, remember that Louis Armstrong International, as well as the entire state of Louisiana, is in the Central Time Zone.
