Verified 0d ago4 · Good

MSY's current single terminal (opened 2019) has two pet relief areas: a post-security indoor room in the main terminal near Shake Shack on the way to Concourse B, and a pre-security outdoor area on Level 1 between the terminal and the short-term parking garage (exit via Baggage Claim Door 5). One security checkpoint serves all three concourses (A/B/C), so a post-security relief trip is reachable from any gate.

Post-security indoor pet relief room
Main terminal post-security, on the walkway to Concourse B, near the Shake Shack.
4
post-securityWalled room

Serves all three concourses (A, B, C — Southwest, Delta, American, United, Spirit and others) since MSY has a single post-security checkpoint. The airport's own amenities page confirms the location. UpgradedPoints (May 2026 update) describes it as a small wheelchair-accessible room with Astroturf, a spray hose, waste bags, and a sink — that's stronger construction detail than most airports publish, so this is a relatively confident 4. Door/ceiling specifics not documented by the airport — field verification recommended.

Pre-security outdoor pet relief area
Level 1, between the main terminal and the short-term parking garage. Exit through Baggage Claim Door 5 on Level 1 and walk across.
2
pre-securityOpen area

Outdoor area between the terminal and the garage. Confirmed by MSY's amenities page. High escape risk for a cat — keep carrier closed until at the spot.
