Travel
Asheville Regional Airport
It is only a short flight to Asheville - You can be in the Great Smoky Mountains in less than 2 hours!
There are direct flights out of LGA (Delta & American) or Newark (United & Allegiant).
Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport
There is another airport about ~1 hour from Asheville in Greer, South Carolina. If you plan on renting a car, this could offer more flexibility as there are additional direct flights from LGA & JFK. It is a really easy & smooth ride from Greer to Asheville!
Charlotte Douglas International Airport
The city of Charlotte is about 2 hours to Asheville. This airport is much bigger than the other two and has a variety of different flight options. Again, if planning to rent a car this could be a better option as it offers more flexibility!
