Nonstop from New Orleans, LA

52 cities you can reach without a layover, 49 in the U.S. and 3 abroad, grouped by how long you'd be in the air.

New Orleans is the least American-feeling city in America, and the reason is that it spent its formative century under French and Spanish rule rather than British. The street grid, the courtyards, the Catholicism, the food and even the civil law are all downstream of that. Stay in or near the French Quarter, but understand that Bourbon Street is six blocks of a much larger neighborhood and you can simply walk around it. The Garden District, the Marigny, and the streetcar up St. Charles are where a long weekend takes its shape. Anything from October to May is comfortable. Summer is genuinely oppressive, and a fair number of the best kitchens close for part of it.

Advisor tip

Casamento's shuts for June, July and August, and opens Thursday to Sunday the rest of the year. Dooky Chase's is mostly lunch. Commander's Palace wants a reservation and a jacket at dinner. New Orleans rewards booking the meals first and letting the rest of the trip arrange itself around them.
