Charlotte Douglas International Airport

The Charlotte Douglas International Airport, located near the border of North Carolina and South Carolina, is the primary airport for Charlotte, N.C., the region's largest city and hub for economic and cultural activity. The airport is located approximately five miles from Uptown Charlotte, the city's growing financial district. Often regarded as an alternative to Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson Airport, the airport provides over 500 daily departures to 120 non-stop destinations including international cities such as Frankfurt, London, Mexico City and numerous destinations in the Caribbean. The airport is served by eleven major airlines and their affiliated regional jet services. It is an important hub for US Airways, which operates out of Concourses C, D and E. Beyond the security checkpoints, you'll find The Atrium, a glass-enclosed structure with a tree-lined boulevard dotted with comfortable, white rocking chairs. The Atrium also contains a food court offering primarily fast food and coffee. Although some passengers complain about the dearth of quality dining options, overall the airport receives high marks for service and convenience.
