How far is airport in NOLA from the port?

[Peyton6]

Trying to figure out how long we need to give ourselves to get to the airport after our cruise. Anyone have info about any airport shuttles, or is it best to just take a cab?

Thanks!

[B]My Take[/B]
We just got off the Conquest last week. Here was our experience. We took a cab instead of the airport shuttle because we did not want to stop at other hotels for people on our shuttle along the way. The cab was the same money...$12 a person (6 people) and we had 2 cabs. Got to our hotel 6 blocks from the pier in about 20 minutes. From what I hear the ride can be much longer...45 minutes....during rush hour times.
