What is the best airline to take from New Orleans to New York City?
AirlinesManda asked:
I want to travel with a couple of my friends in the very beginning of summer to go to NYC and I was wondering what Airline we should take. I don’t know which is one is cheaper looking. I don’t want to take a crappy airline. It’s like the 2nd time I’ve ever been on an airplane, and the first time it was against my will. That’s a long story, anyway. Thanks!
I’m deathly afraid of flying, but I desperately need to go to NYC to see Broadway!

I suggest any one of the older more prominant and better known airlines such as Delta, Continental or Northwest if those carriers fly that route. I also would suggest AirTran if available. I have found them to be a quality airline and their fares are usually pretty much in line with all the others if not less than most others. I would stay away from Southwest because even though I have flown them many times and have been happy, the latest news is negative about them saying they have had several planes grounded for safety/maintenance violations ….. kinda scary. Also I have had more than one terrible experience with Spirit and I refuse to fly Spirit again regardless of ticket price. I consider Jetblue and Virgin airways second rate to some others.

Continental, Jet Blue or Delta. They all have direct flights so you be on the plane for less amount of time. All are safe. I would just suggest looking at
for the best deal during the time you are going

JetBlue Airlines because they have comfortable planes, and personal televisions with DirecTV.

A non-stop flight is almost always better than having to change planes. From New Orleans (MSY), Jet Blue flies non-stop to JFK, Continental flies non-stop to Newark (EWR), and American flies non-stop to La Guardia (LGA).
Check the travel sites (like Expedia & Priceline) and also the airline sites for the best deals & schedules. I believe you have to buy JetBlue tickets directly from them as they don’t sell via the travel sites.
Good luck!
