I always used Aviaport, pre-Katrina, and their service was excellent. Seemed to me that they were a lot more interested in the piston crowd than Millionair.
Aviaport has, fairly recently, reopened, in temporary facilities (like Millionair). I'd go to them first, if for no other reason than I am pulling for the little guy.
The Lakefront Airport web site (
www.lakefrontairport.com ) has an updated map of the airport that you'll want to have along to spot facilities.
Used to be the best cab driver in the world (Mr. Ford, drove a Chevy Van) wa sthe only one we'd call, I have not tried since Katrina, do not know if he is back in NOLA or not. His number is (was?) 504 881 0424. Either FBO will call a cab for you, and you should call their ARINC freq about 10 minutes out to get that lined up in advance, less waiting.
Only the long 18-36 (18L / 36R) runway is open, and no ILS available; GPS would be the preferred approach, I'd think (ILS is still published, so I suppose it's possible it's up and running again, but I suspect that it won't be until the tower is re-opened).
Oh yeah.
The tower is closed (they had a temporary one for the Sugar Bowl crowd).
The neighborhood around it is a wasteland, and if you've been there before, I expect it will make you want to cry.
Go eat at Galatoire's. It's too good to miss.
