The Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport (CHO) is served daily by the three major airlines American, Delta, and United. American offers daily nonstop flights from and to Charlotte (CLT), Chicago (ORD), and New York LaGuardia (LGA). Delta offers daily nonstop flights from and to Atlanta (ATL) and New York LaGuardia (LGA). United offers daily nonstop flights from and to Chicago (ORD) and Washington DC (IAD). If your preferred airline has flights into one of these major airports, a one-stop connection from thereon may be one of the easiest ways to get into Charlottesville.
Alternatively, you can fly into nearby airports (major airports like DCA, IAD, and BWI in Washington DC or RIC in Richmond), and get a rental car to drive into Charlottesville. It takes about 2 hours to drive from DC, and 1 hour from Richmond.
Another option is to fly into Washington DC (DCA, IAD, and BWI), transfer by bus/cab/Uber/Lyft to the DC union station, and take an AmTrak train into Charlottesville. There are direct trains by AmTrak and Grey Hound/Megabuses that connect Charlottesville with major cities on the east coast like Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Washington DC.
