New Orleans Flights

In Southern Louisiana, in the Mississippi River Delta, is the heady, sprawling blend of French and African-American histories, music and food that is New Orleans. The cool jazz and hot Creole spills into the humid air and a stroll down Bourbon Street lets you live the local motto about rolling good times.

The Popular French Quarter

New Orleans has the oldest continuously-operating streetcar in the world and is a great way to see some of this popular city. Famous for its festivals, particularly Mardi Gras, New Orleans Jazz Fest, and Voodoo Fest, there's always something going on and a stranger willing to talk to you.

Here's a quick guide to New Orleans' districts:

• French Quarter – the oldest, and most-visited, hub of the city with bars, restaurants, antiques and a charm all its own
• Central Business District – includes high-rise hotels, restaurants and many museums
• Downriver – includes the authentic music district of Frenchmen Street and the areas still struggling post-Katrina, though there are still attractions here
• Uptown – the St. Charles Avenue streetcar runs through here and the beautiful old architecture is worth a visit itself, then you can lose yourself in blocks of art galleries, designer studios and clothing stores
