TRANSPORTATION

Flying
Some airlines fly directly to the Asheville Airport, but it depends on what direction you are coming from. If your airline flies to Charlotte it will most likely be necessary for you to board a connecting flight to Asheville Airport. OR rent a car from Charlotte Airport. Take I-85 West to I-26 West to Exit 40 (Airport Road) to the hotel. It has been my experience that either way from Charlotte (connecting flight or renting a car) will probably take the same amount of time unless your airline connections are perfect. If coming by air, there is a free hotel shuttle from the Asheville Airport to the hotel. Just call the hotel (828-684-1213) upon arrival and the hotel shuttle will pick you up.

Driving
Area highways are I-40 and/or I-26. Also, the Blue Ridge Parkway celebrates its 75th Anniversary in 2009, and is the most visited unit of the National Park Service. If you want a leisurely drive, depending upon what direction you are coming from, the Blue Ridge Parkway is spectacular.

Driving Directions
From I-40 East or West take Exit 46, which is the junction of I-26. Take I-26 East. Proceed about 9 miles on I-26 East to exit 40, Airport Road. The Holiday Inn Airport is at 550 Airport Road, Fletcher, NC, at the junction of I-26, (exit 40) and Airport Road.
