Shannon, I don't know about parking since we fly into NOLA, but shuttle service from the airport is very reasonable. The Wingate is very reasonable at the airport. We are sailing May 1 and are paying $59.00 for the night and breakfast in the morning. You might check with them for longterm parking. Check with the pier for parking also. Priceline is doing a good job for hotels. If you put in garden district, 4 star hotel and a bid of about $50.00 you should be okay.. If I see something in my surfing travels I'll let you know. By the way, when are you sailing. That could alter amounts.
