JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Got my flights last night. There was an itinerary with Southwest for $305 (Friday to Monday) from Rochester but the flight out didn't get in to after 9PM. I wanted to arrive earlier so I bit the bullet and spent the extra $70 for a morning departure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gggbills Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Thanks Diane for your usual hard work. We are coming in on Thursday and coming back on Tuesday. We had already booked our rooms at the Hotel St Marie (1/2 block from Bourbon Street on Toulouse St) and got our tickets through www.vividseats.com. We are in terrace section 607, row 20 on the Bills side. The tickets were just shy of $100 with fees as we needed to purchase 8. Southwest has a airfare sale going on and we booked flights from Orange County, CA to NO for $424 roundtrip. Posting this for information purposes only. Looking forward to a great time and seeing everyone on Bourbon Street. $424, not bad at all for a RT flight from OC to the Big Easy. I will be leaving OC as well, getting there on Friday and flying back on Monday. Booked my room at the 4 points Sheraton right on Bourbon St....balcony over looking all the fun.

gggbills Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 What did the Sheraton charge you for their balcony room on Bourbon? What did the Sheraton charge you for their balcony room on Bourbon? A lot!! I booked it the moment the schedule came out....they charged me $331.00 per night, which was their AAA rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfanmiami(oh) Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Booked flights within minutes o schedule release. My flight free on rapid rewards points, wife's was $295 RT. We leave cbus that Friday at 710 am land in NOLA @ 925 local time. Head back home Monday at 5:55 pm local time. Staying at the staybridge suites a few min away from the quarter. Free room with priority club points, guess heavy work travel has a few perks! Working on tickets now we have a pretty big group overall that seems to keep growing so will probably end up in one of the upper corners. Looks like it should be a great weekend can't wait! Hope to run into lots of Bills fans down there and looks like that wont be a problem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art in PNS Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 (edited) I'll be driving over from Pensacola on Friday and staying somewhere near boubon Can't remember where right now. Bought 2 tix from a seasons ticket holder $200 each but at least I'll be close enough for my old eyes to see the game. Staying till Monday if my liver holds out. UPDATE : Just changed my Hotel to the HI Chateau on Rue Dauphin. I was at the Hilton Garden Inn but saved $150 over the three days thanks to Aussie. GO BILLS !!!!!!!!!!!!!

plenzmd1 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Just a heads up, NEw Orleans restaurants take reservations way in advance, and most are available now on Open Table. Couchon and Boucherie you need to contact them directly though, and I would do so immediately if you want to eat at one of them. I am excited we have all that done two months before getting there, including 9 am brunch game day at Luke's. be done by 10 30 to take in the game day experience in Champions Square..or where ever the Bills tailgate be .
