The only restaurant at the airport is the Acadiana Tap House serving American favorites, Poboys, and delicious beer. There is one ATM near the baggage claim area. Finally, the airport has a business center where you can print for a small fee or use a computer for free. Wifi is available in most areas of the airport.

Nearest gas station

There is a Shell station at 1551 SE Evangeline Thruway that is right next to the airport. It, however, has high prices.
