We are only five miles away from Asheville Regional Airport, which has direct flights to many popular international airports such as Washington Dulles, Newark, Charlotte Douglas, and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta. Our modest airport makes for quick check-in and security lines, and it even boasts a brand new Cinnabon.
