Flight Information

I am scouting flight information on Expedia.com as well as southwest.com for those of us that will be flying from Chicago to New Orleans. The rates are still very reasonable ranging from 200-330 (round trip) per person depending upon when you are leaving, if you are leaving from Ohare or Midway, and if you are requesting a non-stop flight.



*Please keep in mind that the wedding rehearsal is at 6:00 PM at Bruce's house on Friday October 16th. Please ensure that your flight arrives well in advance of that time. Our goal is to be very accommodating to our guests and retrieve you from the airport. This process will go much smoother if your flights are Friday morning/afternoon or an earlier day of the week.



*Hotel check-in is at 3:00 PM. I will communicate an earlier check-in time if that is possible for all guests.



**Please also keep in mind that we (Tracy and I) are paying for the Friday and Saturday nights hotel stay for the wedding party and immediate family. If you arrive in Thursday or earlier in the week, or you stay beyond Saturday night, please know that you are financially responsible for those additional accommodations.
The rates are very reasonable, if you need to book additional nights (please mention you are with the McElveen/McNeal wedding when booking a reservation).



I can be reached at (985) 789-4120 if there are any questions.

Wedding Hotel Information-Comfort Suites

We have the hotel chosen for the wedding weekend, the Comfort Suites in New Orleans East. It's a brand new hotel. This hotel is closer to Bruce's House where the rehearsal and ceremony will be taking place, but is also very close to the French Quarters.

Tracy and Neisha are paying for rooms for the bridal party as well as immediate family. Neisha will be in contact with you to ensure that your room needs/requests are met in regards to needing two double beds or a king. All the rooms are suites, which includes an additional couch bed in the living room.

Please call Neisha at (985) 789-4120 if you need any additional details or information.

*For those that need to book additional nights please mention that you are a part of the McElveen/McNeal wedding so that you can take advantage of the wedding rate. We are paying for Friday as well as Saturday night.
