Visitors may use:
- Uber or Lyft
- Taxis or airport shuttle services
- Rental cars
Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY)
Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport offers additional flight options and is approximately 70 miles from LSU. Travel to the Baton Rouge campus generally takes 75–90 minutes by car.

returning to MSY. Ground-transportation information is available through the airport’s
pages for ride apps, taxis and shuttles.
