March 4, 2026

BATON ROUGE, LA. – Travelers flying from the Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport (BTR) now have more convenience, more certainty, and more reasons than ever to choose their hometown airport.

BTR has officially launched Premium Reserved Parking, guaranteed garage reservations, covered Economy Lot reservations, and expanded EV charging amenities, all designed to eliminate parking uncertainty and streamline the travel experience from the moment guests arrive.

Importantly, guests may still drive up and park exactly as they always have. These offerings are simply new optional amenities designed to enhance flexibility, convenience, and peace of mind for those who prefer to plan ahead.

Premium Reserved Parking — The Best Spots in the House, No More Circling for a Spot

The Short-Term Parking Garage now offers Premium Reserved Parking on Level 2, featuring front-row spaces located just steps from the terminal entrance. These highly desirable spots put travelers only moments from check-in and security, ideal for business travelers, families, and anyone who values time and convenience.

With limited premium inventory available daily, travelers are encouraged to reserve early to secure the closest parking experience BTR has ever offered.

Guaranteed Garage Parking

Guests can now reserve general parking spaces within the Short-Term Garage, ensuring a space is waiting upon arrival. During holidays, LSU game weekends, and peak travel seasons, this option provides invaluable peace of mind.

Covered Economy Lot Reservations

For budget-friendly travelers seeking protection from Louisiana’s heat and weather, BTR now offers reserved covered parking spaces in the Economy Lot. This new option combines affordability with added comfort while still guaranteeing a spot.

EV Charging — Drive Up and Plug In

Electric vehicle drivers can take advantage of EV charging stations located on Levels 1 and 2 of the Short-Term Parking Garage in designated EV spaces.

No reservation is required for EV charging. Guests can simply park and plug in, making sustainable travel from BTR more convenient than ever.

Plan Ahead & Lock in Your Spot — Up to One Year in Advance

All parking reservations can be made up to one year in advance, allowing travelers to secure their preferred parking option the same day they book their flight.

By reserving ahead of time, travelers:

  • Guarantee their space
  • Save time upon arrival
  • Reduce travel-day stress
  • Secure premium proximity before spaces sell out

Book Now & Travel Smarter

Travelers are strongly encouraged to reserve their parking early, especially ahead of spring break, summer vacations, holidays, and major event weekends, as premium and covered spaces are expected to fill quickly.

With these enhancements, BTR continues investing in modern amenities that drive convenience, elevate the passenger experience, and support continued growth in the Capital Region.
