MSY’s “Short Term Garage” usually just means the main Short Term deck
This is the multi-level structure directly attached to Terminal 1 at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, signed simply as Short Term on airport maps and garage signage. If you see “Short Term Garage” on a third‑party site, assume it refers to this same attached deck rather than a separate product or building.
The Short Term facility connects to the terminal via covered walkways on multiple levels, with walking time to the main check-in hall typically under 5 minutes. You enter from the main airport access road that runs along Terminal Drive, following signs for Short Term Parking as opposed to Economy or Surface lots.
MSY’s official parking page groups this option under one Short Term category, without a different daily rate listed for anything called “Short Term Garage.” That means pricing here matches the standard Short Term product rather than a premium tier. Check the airport site or garage entry boards on the day you park, as posted daily maximums can shift with demand and special events.
Being attached to Terminal 1, Short Term works best for quick pick-ups, drop-offs, and same-day trips out of MSY, instead of long-term vacation parking. If you end up staying multiple days, compare your running total to the Long Term and Economy options at the airport to avoid overpaying.
Practical tip: If you’re aiming for this Short Term deck, follow the official Short Term signs only; don’t wait around hunting for a separately labeled “Short Term Garage,” because MSY doesn’t operate a distinct facility under that exact title.
