Morning or evening flight on CLT–MSY?
Operators schedule evening departures around 20:00 from CLT. Earlier flights typically land before destination-airport delays accumulate later in the day; check the MSY delay card to confirm conditions when you'd arrive.

Great-circle distance is 1,047 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 104–120 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does CLT–MSY fly?
American Airlines runs the route with about 25 flights a week (daily). Since one carrier owns the route, a single disruption tends to ripple through the day.
