The Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport has announced a new baggage check-in service for Southwest Airlines customers at the economy garage. Located at 900 Airline Drive, the garage is open 24/7 and offers 2,438 parking spaces. However, as of 10:10 a.m. on Friday, only 111 spaces were available due to the busy Fourth of July holiday weekend, with all other parking lots at full capacity.
The economy garage is specifically designed for Southwest Airlines customers and provides them with an easy and efficient way to handle their checked luggage. By offering baggage check-in at the economy garage, the airport aims to improve the overall experience for passengers flying with Southwest Airlines. Passengers are required to check their bags at least two hours prior to their flight.
Despite the high demand for parking during the holiday weekend, passengers are encouraged to arrive early to secure a spot at the economy garage. The airport’s website reports that all other parking lots were at capacity, highlighting the importance of planning ahead when it comes to parking at the airport.
Overall, this new service will provide Southwest Airlines customers with a convenient and efficient way to handle their checked luggage before their flights.
