Why this stays fast
DCC keeps the map layer fast by rendering a static preview instead of shipping a heavy interactive map bundle on first load.
Travelers still get immediate location clarity, one-click directions, and map-provider choice only when intent is real.

How to use this airport page
Best used for airport-to-French Quarter, airport-to-hotel, and first-night arrival decisions before a New Orleans itinerary firms up.
Airport pages are stronger than generic transport blurbs because they route the traveler into the right city, port, or cruise decision after the arrival problem is clarified.

Common airport questions
Why does DCC care about MSY beyond flight arrival?
Because the first transfer into the French Quarter or another neighborhood often shapes the whole first day in New Orleans.
What is the main next step after the MSY page?
Usually the New Orleans city guide, especially if the traveler still needs to decide neighborhood fit and timing.
Does MSY connect to cruise planning in DCC?
This first pass is mostly city-focused, but the same airport-to-hotel and airport-to-port logic can support cruise additions later.
