MSY-Latam<br />

By AnaMaría Bech<br />

Útila, Honduras<br />

Thinking about vacations always<br />

brightens our lives. With<br />

Thanksgiving and Christmas<br />

around the corner, we must start<br />

planning to return to our homeland to<br />

enjoy Latin American traditions and<br />

culture, see family, or simply explore<br />

the beautiful places our continent<br />

south of the United States offers.<br />

New Orleans has always been an<br />

essential portal to Latin America, and<br />

its airport offers everything you need<br />

to start your vacation at home. When<br />

making your itinerary, don’t forget<br />

that arriving early to the airport has<br />

advantages and that Louis Armstrong<br />

New Orleans International Airport<br />

offers you all the amenities, from<br />

Valet Parking and the VIP Lounge to<br />

delicious places where you can eat<br />

the last New Orleans dish or enjoy a<br />

delicious local coffee. You can even<br />

buy the cutest souvenirs from your<br />

city to take to Latin America.<br />

Here are some destinations that<br />

our readers have recently enjoyed<br />

with their itinerary.<br />

MSY - San Pedro Sula. Traveling<br />

to Honduras is very easy from New<br />

Orleans. Spirit’s direct flight takes<br />

you to San Pedro Sula in two and a<br />

half hours. From there, it is easy to<br />

explore the country and places like<br />

Utila and Tela, as the creative Felipe<br />

Estrada did a few months ago.<br />

MSY - Guatemala City. Traveling<br />

to Guatemala can be pretty<br />

economical. Several airlines offer<br />

the country of eternal spring as a<br />

destination, with a stopover in Texas<br />

and Florida, and in 5 and a half<br />

hours, you can enjoy the beautiful<br />

landscapes and spectacular weather<br />

of Guatemala. My family and I visited<br />

our relatives and relaxed in Antigua<br />

and Panajachel.<br />

MSY - Santiago. This destination<br />

may not be the most common flying<br />

out of New Orleans, but it’s time for<br />

it to be. Escaping the summer heat<br />

or the winter cold and enjoying the<br />

vineyards and mountains of Chile can<br />

be the best vacation of your life. A few<br />

months ago, Rey and Amairanny Rivas<br />

enjoyed good wine, snow-capped<br />

mountains, and the tallest building<br />

in South America in Santiago, Chile.<br />

Although it is a long trip, you can find<br />

reasonable prices. Their connection<br />

flight was in Houston.<br />

Where will you go on your next<br />

vacation? Let us know on social<br />
