This is the easiest, safest, most convenient option.

 Shreveport Regional Airport (Shreveport, Louisiana)

Bisese Limousine/Airport Shuttle Service

This option is more expensive, but it is convenient. The shuttle service to or from the airport can be a great option if you are traveling with a group. The service is priced per vehicle, not per person, so the cost could divided between a group of people traveling together.
