New Orleans Flight Guide

Visitors travel to New Orleans to experience a unique city with a special character that shines from every corner. The districts are very diverse and reflect the long and often painful history of New Orleans. The story of French colonialism is told in the famous French Quarter and a walk through the plantations by the Mississippi reminds travellers of slavery and racial segregation. But New Orleans is also a place with positive memories such as the birth of Jazz, colourful Carnival celebrations and the development of a truly delicious Creole cuisine. Pamper yourself with a delightful meal and enjoy the sizzling nightlife, while getting to know the multicultural locals and their relaxed lifestyle.

Almost 4 years after Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans is rebuilt and wounds are healing. It has reopened its doors to visitors and has regained its unique charm and hospitality. The various districts of New Orleans are not divided into themes like in many other cities, but are rather one whole forming one large group. By no means does this imply that every corner is the same – there is still a great diversity and variety of pubs, shopping miles and attractions throughout the city. The previously mentioned French Quarter is the heart of New Orleans featuring countless restaurants, bars, shops and an amazing Old Town.
For all lovers of architecture, a visit to the "Garden District" is a must. Many of the houses were built in the 19th century, and the lovely parks in this area are a perfect place to relax.

The Maison Dupuy Hotel is a popular place to stay in the French Quarter. For the more budget-conscious traveller, the O’Keefe Plaza Hotel is a good alternative to the numerous luxury accommodations.
The international airport of New Orleans is dedicated to Jazz legend Louis Armstrong. Several airlines, such as the Northwest airline, offer collaborations with Qantas to enable trips between New Orleans and Australia. The shortest flight time is approximately 16 hours, but it is often longer due to inconvenient connections.
