For the deal-shoppers, check out flights to the New Orleans Airport (code MSY.) It’s about a 3 hour drive from there to The Mariner. Sometimes, you can catch a deal to make it worth your while to rent a car and enjoy the scenic drive. Add a day or two and bookend your vacation with a stroll through the French Quarter.
From Pensacola Airport – Meandering from Pensacola to Perdido Key, you will find local shopping, restaurants and the home of the Blue Angels.
From Mobile Airport – This route used to have a toll but is now toll-free, thanks to an investment from the State of Alabama.
If you have the time, consider the Mobile Bay Ferry. It’s a bit out of the way, but if you’ve been flying or driving all day, the ferry is a wonderful way to begin unwinding and start enjoying the beautiful Gulf Coast. From I10/I65, it’s about 30 miles to the loading dock, a 40 minute ferry ride across to Fort Morgan, then a 50 minute scenic drive from there to The Mariner.
