Transfer from New Orleans-Armstrong International Airport to Baton Rouge

The journey covers approximately 80 miles on Interstate 10, heading northwest from New Orleans toward Baton Rouge.

The drive passes through small towns and wetland areas characteristic of southeast Louisiana.

Your driver meets you at the arrivals baggage-hall exit of your landing terminal, holding a name sign. Allow 60 minutes free wait time at the airport while you collect luggage. Traffic is heaviest 7–9 AM and 4–6 PM; departures between 10 AM and 2 PM typically experience the smoothest run.
