We will be in the french quarter (Party of 2) at the Park Plaza on Canal Street 2 nights then I'll be flying out of MSY for 12 nights. The Hotel parking is a whopping $28/night and the airport parking will be around $100.

Any free or cheap lots near either location? Should park the car upon arrival in New Orleans at a hotel near the airport that allows 14 days parking with a 1 night stay on my return and catch a shuttle from the french quarter. Any park & fly hotel suggestions? Any French Quarter to Airport Shuttle suggestions? Or do the airport hotels also offer French Quarter shuttles?
