Keven,
Just got back from New Orleans again (Sunday) and it was great as usual. You and the missus will have a good Valentine's Day.
I have always landed at Lakefront (NEW) and used GAC as the FBO. The name has now changed to Atlantic and, if anything, the service is even better.
However, on this trip, U.S. Customs refused to send an inspector to NEW so I had to amend my flight plan and land at MSY. First time there. I still used GAC (same as DeSantis recommended) but again, the name has changed to Atlantic. This FBO was very good, clean and the service was excellent. Gas was $2.80 as I recall. Gas at Lakefront is a bit more expensive.
Lakefront gets lots of military trainers and is generally fairly calm and laid back. Facilities at the FBO there (Atlantic) are older but adequate. MSY is a busy international place with lots of commercial airliner traffic. The tower guy could talk faster than I can read but ground control was very helpful in guiding me around.
It's a toss-up. They're both good, just different.
