Baton Rouge (BTR) airport

BTR is served by three major legacy carriers: American Airlines (with nonstop service to Charlotte, Dallas-Fort Worth, and Washington D.C.), Delta Air Lines (flying nonstop to Atlanta), and United Airlines (flying nonstop to Houston Intercontinental).

Yes, the terminal building never closes and remains open 24/7. However, the TSA security checkpoint is closed overnight between 7:30 p.m. and 4:00 a.m., so overnight passengers must stay in the ground-floor pre-security public area.

You can ride CATS public buses, request an Uber or Lyft at the designated ground-level pickup curb, or hail an authorized taxicab located immediately outside the baggage claim exit.

Rental car service counters (Avis, Budget, Enterprise, Hertz, and National) are located on the ground level right past baggage claim. Vehicles are picked up and returned on foot in the adjacent rental parking garage without needing shuttle buses.

While there are no hotels inside the terminal, nearby properties within 1 mile (1.6 km) such as the Hilton Garden Inn Baton Rouge Airport and SpringHill Suites by Marriott offer free airport shuttle transfers.

Parking is managed via a ticketless, license-plate-recognition system (Metropolis). The first 30 minutes are free. Daily parking options include a covered Garage (USD 16/day) and an outdoor Economy lot (USD 13/day), alongside reserved premium options.
