There are several airport options when traveling to Charlottesville. The closest airport is Charlottesville-Albermarle Airport (CHO). However, this is a small regional airport (midwest friends, there are direct flights on United from O'Hare).
We also recommend flying into Washington - National (DCA) or Washington - Dulles (IAD). It is about a 2 hour drive from either of these airports. We would advise against flying into Washington - Baltimore (BWI) as depending on traffic can add about 1-2 more hours to the trip.
DC friends! You can take the Amtrak to Charlottesville for as little as $8. There are several lines that travel here several times a day.
We have arranged room blocks with special rates at three hotels in downtown Charlottesville, use the links below to book if you are interested in these three options.
There are also countless air-bnbs, VRBOs, and bed and breakfasts throughout the area.
