- On November 6, 2019 the brand new New Orleans Armstrong International Airport officially opened its doors to the public marking an end to the old MSY airport building. This land has been operating commercially as an airport since 1946. The new MSY (which stands for Moisant Stock Yards) is a new state of the art airport terminal with a lot of amazing amenities.

Thank you for checking out this video. Be sure to subscribe for more as I post a variety of things on this channel.
Even though this new airport is a million times better than the old one the old one holds many memories from my childhood. I'll oddly miss it
Same here
Agreed :{
Agreed😪
Same
Same here
One of the most beautiful airport in the world
Thank you for showing. That’s a beautiful Airport
Badass, we finally caught up to 2009.
😂😂😂
You mean 2 tell me there's multiple Starbuck's, but no Popeye's?! No Smoothie King?!
They have a smoothie King in there, next to Cafe Du Monde. But yeah I'm surprised no Popeyes lol
Trust me, you’re not missing much. I’ve eaten the Popeyes at the old terminal and it was horrible.
@@NOLADEEJ there are multiple Popeyes I’ve seen in the airport actually right as your walking into the terminals
The City of NO ought to be very proud- this looks amazing ! I worked for Southwest Airlines for 32 years and currently with United, so this is “ my office “..... Very very awesome
Very cool
Looks spacious ... and with those looooong walks to your departure gate, you’ll be glad to sit once onboard your flight 👍🏻
Beautiful airport! Big congratulation to New Orleans. Thanks so much for sharing.
Thank you!
Man!! This looks beautiful! Possibly on of the nations most beautiful. Great tour👏
It's pretty spectacular! Thanks for checking it out!
Thank you so much for this video. It’s very helpful. 😊
You’re very welcome! I’m glad it was helpful 😁
I’m so glad I saw this video. I’m flying out of New Orleans this week as a student and I do this like twice a semester and had no idea this was happening.
Well I'm glad I could help 😁
I’m flying to New Orleans in about over a month! It’ll be my first time flying too.. I’m kinda nervous but excited to see the city!
Me: NOLA born and raised. My mom: a flight attendant NOLA born and raised. She flew there for the first time last week to bring my grandparents here to Houston for the holidays, and she literally told me that I need to take a flight back home just to see the new terminal, it was just that stunning.
Thanks for making this. I was lucky enough to be apart that project. I'm from Portland Oregon and was sent down there to Roof concourse C. It was definitely an awsome experience.
Oh that is awesome! Well it looks like you did a great job!
I wish they had an NEW ORLEANS DAIQUIRIS IN THERE
Hah, you'd think they would! Maybe in future plans
I Miss msy neworleans
The new terminal is so cool!
I was supposed to go take a tour and something came up and I couldn’t go. Glad you got to see it!
I almost missed it, lol! Found out about it the day of, haha!
Thanks bud, I know nothing about flying and didn't know what to actually expect from being in an airport in terms of layout. It makes a little more sense to me now. Appreciate it.
Sure thing!
Thanks for posting. I was wondering what the inside looked like.
It looks awesome!
They did a fantastic job!
Wow!!! My ex-husband flew from the old airport and returned at the new airport.
He worked in the Engine Room (the massive HVAC/boilers/chillers/cooling towers etc) from 1987-1995. Our first son was almost born there as I spent lots of time exploring behind the scenes
his department had the 2nd highest secimurity clearance (“Oscar” clearance was the operations and security clearance. I got to ride out on the concourses.
So many memories tfor me at the old MSY (Moisant Stock Yards)
Looks like the new MSY is more open and airy. No dark and dismal.
Last time I flew from New Orleans to Portland Oregon was 2013.
Thanks for sharing the video!!!
Oh wow!!
The new airport in Kenner, LA looks very nice.
It would appear that Concourse A is for international arrivals. It has a sterile arrivals set up directing passengers to immigration and customs, which is why it doesn't need food stands. And since the food is in the departure area, I doubt arriving passengers will linger to eat, so the food is mainly for departing passengers. But is certainly is a vast improvement on the old terminal.
Yeah I believe you are right
Pray for a layover at the new Armstrong International to enjoy all that great New Orleans food.
There's a lot to choose from 😁
This place is big omg you can't go wrong with touch coffee and a live band .
Yeah it was bigger than I expected.
Nice! I'm glad to see the inside! I only saw the outside from working for Lyft.. Thanks for showing bro!
Awesome! Thanks for checking it out!
That’s actually really amazing airport
I'm gonna head that way later today to check things out. [Traffic @ Loyola and Vets] 😆
Yeah I'm curious how it'll turn out
Amazing airport I been there and I like it, it is very nice and modern I hope to soon be a pilot I’m am from New Orleans
Flying to denver and ultimately flagstaff az in a few weeks. Nice airport. Very informative. Thank you for the video! I have not flown in 3 years.
Thanks for checking it out! Safe travels!
I have been there a lot cause I pick up my cousin from that airport I live in baton rouge Louisiana so yeah even tho I miss the old version of the airport I think the new one is a lot better
Agreed, the old one was great too
@@NOLADEEJ yeah I miss the old version that airport
nice video, I have family in Louisiana so I can't wait to check it out next time I come down
Awesome!!
Watching because I'm flying into this airport
Awesome! I hope the experience is a good one
Very impressive!
It really is
Such an awesome Airport! Wasn’t too thrilled with the Lyft lines when we first arrived and the TSA lines when flying back home, but overall what a beautiful airport you guys have, got excited to get that last Cafe Du Monde fix before we left lol!
That's awesome! I know they will have some growing pains for a bit, be it eventually they'll have all the bugs worked out.
Flying to Disney world tomorrow, thanks for the great preview dude
Right on!! Have fun out there man! It's my favorite place haha
@@NOLADEEJ same hahaha
How was your airport experience? Heard there were some kinks to work out. Local here and flying out next month.
@@gavin3598 everything went great for me, just too many restaurants to choose from. Seems like a roll of the dice for what kind of experience you're gonna get there so far.
@@thepoboyboy4586 Thanks man
Deej!! 💙 what a beautiful airport!! I hope to see it some day. You look thinner!! ☺
Why thank you!!
Beautiful
I haven't even been to the old one and I only live down the street from it
Thank You ❤️. Beautiful Video 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Thank you!!
Holy cow! That’s humongous!
Good content
Thank you!
Thanks for the tour!
Thanks for checking it out!
Yes Airport is very nice I work there
Awesome! Its beautiful!!!!!
It truly is! I was very impressed!
@@NOLADEEJ , and should increase travel to Louisiana, and the greatest city in the world!!!! very proud for our state! Something good for us!!!
Thanks for the video I enjoy it
Thanks for watching!
It's a pretty, clean, modern airport and definitely an improvement over the old MSY. My only gripe is that it looks like nearly every other new airport. Other than a couple small touches (the big tree photo), it's generic and cookie cutter. I wish that it was a bit more distinct and that it featured touches and designs that made it clear this was NO not "Any City, USA"
Yeah I would like to have seen the architecture styled with a little more NOLA flair
Who cares? Its an airport. I hope you didn't spend all your time there. You can't find no other city like ours! I'm sorry that yall judge airports like that.
I won’t just be eating from the local restaurants when the plane lands, I’ll still be eating the last bite I can of local before I have to (begrudgingly) go home. Just one more bite!
Hehe there's no such that as just one more bite here ;)
It's a great airport but you still have to wait an hour for handicap transportation no wheel chairs practicly suxs
Great video,ill be there tomorrow
Have a safe trip!
MSY should have a completely covered Arrivals and Departures. Local weather can be very unforgiving. Downpoars and intense heat will beleaguer passengers .
I'm sure they'll end up adding stuff like that, they've been listening to a lot of the complaints people have had
Wow, not completely covered? I sure hope they take care of that. SOON.
Thank you Sir.
The issues with lyft and uber pickups still isn’t figured out yet
Yeah, I'm sure it'll be a while before all the kinks are worked out
Congrats New Orleans on your new airport, it's really spacious and beautiful.
It’s needs some major retail stores in it like Mac, Gucci, Tumi, maybe a nice sunglass store and a fragrance store like that’s what it’s missing and hotels around it them other hotels not doing it we still have some catching up to do
So happy & proud that we have beautiful airport again ... But can't believe they don't have a Popeye's Chicken or Copeland's bistro ... But can't wait to see it in person ... Check out folse market which is own by Chef John folse ... Nice video ..
Yeah it would have been cool to see a Copeland's name in there
I have never been to New Orleans air port and so its hard to tell how big the airport is compared to LAX ( Los Angeles) airport
I’m ready to fly reminds me of LAX
Haha I'm ready to fly too
I seen the video of the old airport.
It looked fine to me , so why did they close it ?????
I think it was an opportunity to build something better with major improvements. Still unsure what they're going to do with the old one though
Great video, thank you!
But I have to say.....
NO POPEYES???
Haha not a one!
Holy Crap, 0:44 that dude is tall. So the old one is now closed @Noladeej?
Yeah, and I believe they're tearing part of it down
I was wondering if you will be doing a video on what happened with the Hard Rock building collapse?
Probably not, it's too dangerous to get anywhere near it.
I live in LA I’m going to the new airport Wednesday
Oh awesome! Safe travels!
You mean parking will make sense?! There will actually be enough parking?! The terminals will be connected do you dont have to go through tsa again?!
It's modernization project lead us to this
Neat! Was the other terminal damaged from hurricanes or just to small to accommodate more flights. Emeril Lagasse is from my hometown of Fall River, Mass we went to the same vocational school!
No I think it was just outdated and they decided to build something new
It was so old! They didnt have enough rooms to accommodate flights. Very dank and dismal. Before I lived in Louisiana i had a connecting flight in MSY and had to go through TSA again because terminals weren't connected. Also not enough bathroomms
@@NOLADEEJ I'm living in Northwest Arkansas now and am originally from New Orleans! A new Airline, Breeze Airways, provides non-stop flights from the Northwest Arkansas National Airport, XNA, to the new Armstrong International Airport! First of all, XNA, though smaller, has an awesome terminal! When I arrived at the MSY, I couldn't get OVER the the dramatic improvement the new terminal of MSY is to the old one! And was the Round trip fare inexpensive! Northwest Arkansas is beautiful! Eureka Springs is not to be missed! No words can express the joy I feel that there's a Gateway between the city of my birth and the 7th best city in the country- Fayetteville, AR!
It's not a new airport. It's a new terminal.
Ok
Really Rick? Please. My God.
Well, it's not a new airport. I'm sorry that you cannot tell the difference.
@@gavin3598 If it was a new AIRPORT, then planes would not be taking off and landing on the same piece of real estate. They have built different terminals at DTW (Detroit) for almost 90 years, longer than any other airport in the U.S.A. , new terminals same old airport. That is like saying you built a new train station and you have a new railroad. Maybe Terminal is not in NOLADEEJ's VOCABULARY.
Facts matter DIA was a new airport, MSY isn't.. I'm retired from CLT, added a runway, added a new concourse, added two terminal expansions, expanding main terminal, added 7 level parking deck, added 2 valet parking decks , added 2, 8 lane roadways, but one thing it isn't, a new airport... So MSY aint new...
Nice video!
Thank you!
Beautiful. What kind of camera do you use?
For this video I just used a Galaxy S10
Nice airport. What was the name of the band that was playing?
I didn't get to see the name of the band unfortunately
A better comparison one can make is to compare with Berlin's latest unfinished airport. This 1 billion USD airport is about 1 11th of the cost of Beijing Daxing airport, therefore, do not compare this one with Daxing.
Needs some flower plants and greenery
No morning call?
Unfortunately no.. :(
Explore with Rick they missed the bidding deadline
Brian Murphy noooooo!
Completely finish June 2020.
They still have the flyover to finish in a few years hehe
Can't wait to visit this when I'm back in January.
Corridor to C concourse looks very small.
As for the A concourse, it's pretty bare-bones as you described because on the other side of that white wall is the customs facility. Still weird that they don't have any concessions in there whatsoever.
Ooh that makes sense! Yeah I would have that they'd have at least one small place to get snack at or something
@Mike F, What the full is DIA?
Cafe Du Monde in the HOUSE!
I want to go here but really I want to take the train from LA to LA(get it?!)
Hah that would be a good trip!
Do you think they would be hiring here? I am planning to move to new orleans and would like a good job there.
I'm sure they have some sort of hiring program, check their website they probably have something there
Im flying out this friday, any suggestions where to safely park my car for 4 days?
They have short term and long term parking there. I haven't looked into that much, but check their site I think the info about it is there.
I’m confused did they close the old one
Yeah, November 5th was the last day at the old one.
@@NOLADEEJ I lived in NOLA some 40 years ago; they'll have to come up with a new direct link to the airport from I-10.
If I can try to remember, I thought the old airport was something like the old LaGuardia Airport in New York.
Hurricane shutters or hurricane proof glass in all those open space windows?
I believe so, haha!
The windows can withstand 150 mph winds
Windows rated for 150 mph...
Lots of white paint.
Flying into the new airport on Tuesday night, cannot wait to see how it is, I'm sure it will be a bit of an upgrade from the junky old terminal!
Coke Cans And Winglets I’m flying in Tuesday morning from Joplin MO
@@pandaaholicc288 Nice! I am flying in on Delta from Salt Lake City.
Is it planes flying overseas or only domestic flights right now
They have international flights as well
Cool! How far is this from the city?
The airport is about 20 minutes from downtown
Around 12 miles.
What are they going to do with the old portion of the airport?
I believe they're tearing part of it down and keeping part of it.
No moving sidewalks?
No, I'm sure they will have some sort of cart or something to bring people if it's too far to walk
Not a fan of the new terminal. While it is large, it feels cramped at the gate areas. I'm flew during covid and it felt tight. When folks are back to moving around like normal, the place will make the traveler feel like a sardine.
I've yet to be in there for travel
So no more access from airport road?
Nope, you have to exit off Loyola.
Yeah for now Loyola and Veterans is the way in and out.
🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
This is the loneliest airport I have ever been to, gone is the soul of the OLD MSY. Their are no shops, just big empty nothingness. Its like someone took New Orleans, bleeched it clean and left it life less.
Sad.
The new airport is surprisingly manueverable. Whether you're a passenger travelling, or picking up/dropping off. I like it. Still wondering what they're going to do with the old airport 🤷♀️
I am too, I think they use part of it for storage
They have a shiny new building that is massively late and over budged. It will still be staffed by the same surly, eye rolling, lazy employees that infested the old terminal. Lipstick on a pig...the issues at MSY were service connected not so much facility connected...although the old facility should be an embarrassment to any city that owned that POS.
The worst airport in the USA by light years. They should castrate every single planner, traffic cop and employee so as not to infect the new airport with there stupidity. But then again ignorance is a trademark of the airport authority.
Which open house day was this?
Frikken huge.
I love the layout of it
Wow they really trust the public to waltz into an airport w out security (yes there’s no flights but u don’t know what they have when the first flight comes in)
Is this place one big restaurant or a air port? Lol
Hahaha!!
Its New Orleans, you won't ever go hungry here 🤣🤣🍽🍽
Say bro...its not "Armstrong International"... Its Louis Armstrong International. Who let u in? Do you even know who he is?
Well if you really want to be technical about it, it’s “Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport”. I figure if you’re going to correct me, at least correct me with the right name. Thanks, though! I thought for sure it was Stretch Armstrong, whew!
It is NOT a new AIRPORT. There are no new runways, taxiways, etc.. It is a new TERMINAL Building with new gates. Huge difference. Good video but wrong terminology.
Gotcha, thanks
Really Kenneth?
after seeing beijain's new airport last month. this air port is nothing.
