It takes me 25 minutes to get to the airport from my house (Uptown near State/Magazine) with no traffic at 4 AM.

Today’s (Sunday’s) return flight arrived just before 4pm, so not surprisingly the airport was more crowded and the traffic heavier than when I arrived at 1am. Consequently, today it took me 31 minutes from opening the aircraft door until I arrived home in mid city (bayou St. John).
