Carnival is that season that lasts from Twelfth Night to Shrove Tuesday (more popularly known by the French Mardi Gras). Because modern travelers (and revellers) need time off from work to celebrate, Carnival as a season will be at its busiest on Saturday, February 25, 2006.
The revilers traditionally return home on the Sunday before Mardi Gras, which this year will fall on February 26. See this old press release from the New Orleans airport. The double peak of departures (on Sunday and again on Ash Wednesday) suggest that the busiest nights could be either Saturday or Tuesday.
