My flight is booked out of NOLA at 6:30AM Wednesday, and as of right now is still "on time." Storm should be past, but worried about possible damage.

My son is playing a big concert for his birthday in LA Thurs. night...have to be there! If flight is cancelled, and can't get another out of Texas or wherever, I'm driving, lol. Anybody else in a similar situation and wanna carpool? Just planning ahead

Fly out of Houston as a backup. With Hobby and Intercontinental, you have ton of options.

We fly out of Nola at 11:50 on Wednesday. Praying roads are passable and airport is open. Possible back-up plans is to fly out of Houston or Dallas. Big concern is losing communication and not being able to cancel about seven hotel rooms if trip gets canned.

We're in a similar situation. My son and I are flying out of MSY on Wednesday evening and meeting my wife and daughter who are flying out of Jackson, MS in LA. Daughter goes to Ole Miss. If MSY has issues, my first option is also flying out of Jackson on Southwest.

Please let us know if you're able to get any info between now and then. Have family supposed to fly out of MSY to Nashville around noon on Wednesday. At this point I have serious doubts that'll happen.

MSY cancelled all flights today and at least 140 so far tomorrow. All the people who evacuated via plane still have to get back as well.

Call the airline and see if they can switch your departing city

I would assume that airport was built to withstand hurricanes and have backup power, so it should be open. Getting to it may be an issue. You can fly out of Mobile or Pensacola on Delta to Atlanta. Then direct flight to L.A.

I flew out of Pensacola

Gf and mine's flight got moved from Wednesday to Friday thru MSY so y'all make sure to stay on top of your flights. They allowed us to upgrade flights out of Houston for Wednesday, but it's still a major worry cutting it this close.
