Thanks for the info. I do ahve a question though, If I want to book the Papa Noel rates do I have to call the hotel and ask for that rate? I check the online booking for several hotels and those rates did not show up.

Yes, you need to call. Papa Noel rates are limited. I%26#39;m sure they aren%26#39;t available for every room and when they sell out, they sell out!

Aww. And I also note that at least a couple of places that were listed a couple of weeks ago in last year%26#39;s list, are not participating in this year%26#39;s Papa Noel program. Curious. Perhaps some places are gradually raising prices back to pre-K days (Can%26#39;t blame them).

Or perhaps, (?), there is some off-season convention coming into town in mid-December? As I browse through the different booking sites, prices vary greatly. Even the unnamed, or obvious but ';mystery'; hotels.

Methinks I should book soon for December. Already in two weeks the airfares went from 174 to 298 and up to over 300 on most days, and very limited days and times! Of course, that reflects the greatly reduced number of flights into MSY daily.

Yes, you should go ahead and book now. I booked my room yesterday at the Bourbon Orleans Hotel for Dec. 14 - 17. It has been my experience that the later you wait to book a room in New Orleans the higher the rate will be. And if a lower rate comes avalible you can always cancel the first reservation and book the lower rate.
