NOLA airport parking max'd out

All parking lots at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport are closed because they’re totally max’d out, officials posted in a Twitter message Saturday (July 27) morning. The message said all short-term and long-term garages, credit card lot(s) and the overflow parking lots are full. Air passengers are advised to seek alternate transportation such as taxis and ride-hailing services, officials said, and they suggested arriving two hours ahead of scheduled departures to ensure finding a rare parking spot and clearing security. There are some private parking lots nearby, but those are expected to be filled up, too. The airport hasn't announced an opening for its new terminal, which will also add parking (2,190-space short-term garage, a 2,750-space long-term garage and a surface parking lot), which officials already have been saying could support another garage in the future.
