Airport Pick-up
Service
We can arrange transportation to
and from the airport with a cab driver who meets our guests outside
your airline's baggage claim with a "The Burgundy B&B" sign. He
charges $34 for 1
or 2 persons, $12 per person for 3rd and 4th persons.
Public Transportation from the
Airport
The
Airport Express
Bus E2 leaves the airport about every 15 minutes and costs $1.60
exact fare. It takes about 45 minutes to the Central Business
District, Elks Pl. and Tulane Ave (www.jeffersontransit.org).
[Katrina update: The E2 only goes to Carrollton and Tulane on
weekends now,
where you have to transfer to the Tulane bus to Elks Place. It
therefore takes quite a bit longer than before all in all! Also, E2
no longer runs as often. Check the web site!] From there you can
call and I can usually pick you up. If not, you would walk 2 blocks
to Canal and N. Rampart and take the St. Claude bus to St. Roch
(about 5 minutes), only 2 blocks from the B&B.
