New Orleans Airport

I had a 0645 departure for Chicago which was one of many at that time. There was only one restaurant open and it was serving only hot food--not a great option for carry-on-board. If concessions are granted to suppliers they need to be open and functioning when the passengers are there - especially those that deal in food and other on-board needs. Poor marks for this.

Small airport rarely crowded. Good selection of restaurants. Baggage claim and passenger pick up area outside baggage is poorly lit at night and dirty. Taxis that pickup at the airport are usually dirty. Can carry and drink alcoholic beverages anywhere in the airport.
