Crystal's Transportation

[csoul]

Hey all.....this is last minute, but if anyone is looking for dependable transportation from a New Orleans native, don't forget about Crystal's Transportation. The owner is a personal friend of mine and she is a hard working, honest local lady. She is the only transportation I ever use to & from the Fairgrounds each day and to and from the airport. Her number is 504-258-0454. Tell her CSoul sent ya'.

Hey Csoul, nice tip. What are her rates?

[csoul]

Hey, Eze.....
I had to text her to get her rates, cuz honestly, I didn't remember. She charges $16.00 round trip to the Fairgrounds. Her airport rates are $26.00 round trip or $15.00 one way. Honestly, I don't know how that compares, because as I said, she's the only one I've ever used. But I'll tell you this, knowing she'll be sitting there waiting for us when we walk out of the gates and that we won't have to stand in line makes it worth every penny. Plus, she's a wonderful person and has taught us alot about the city. (One year her sister even gave us passes to JF......a little Lagniappe.....just cuz)

And I just realized, I spelled it wrong.....it's Cristal's not Crystal's......between spelling & ADD it's a wonder I can function on here at all!!

Thanks for the Tip. If I call her in advance will she be waiting at the airport? I want to get to my hotel ASAP and then over to the Patry.
How does she avoid the cab line system at the airport?

a cab that has been specifically called can bypass the line to get you - i found that out one year when we walked out and this United Cab called us over to the middle island saying 'you called for me, right?". we hadnt called, but they dont let you pick your cabs in the line, so we went with the United dude.

Hmmm.....again....only transportation we've ever used. I send her my flight info and she is waiting for us when we get there. Give her a call. She'll give you the details. Could be what Barb said. Have fun at the patry....so jealous!

Thanks so much for the tip on Cristal's Transportation. I have the same type of biz here in the Westside suburbs of Cleveland, and I would prefer to 'pay it forward' using her service. I am a virgin fest'r , and you all have been so very helpful throughout this site. Picked up lots of info ! Looking forward to meeting some of y'all along the way.
