Questions travelers ask
How early should I get to MSY?
Airlines set their own check-in and bag drop cutoffs, so check yours. Security opens at 3:30 a.m., and the first wave of morning flights makes early lines the busiest.
Why does the board show no flights?
If the live feed is down or not connected the board shows a notice instead of flights. Use your airline app or website for your flight until it returns.
