Airports:

• Norfolk is the closest major airport (35 minutes no traffic), but there is tunnel construction causing significant delays at times and potential beach traffic.
• Newport News airport is the closest airport but only has American Airlines flights to/from Charlotte three times per day.
• Richmond is another viable option and is about an hour drive on roads generally without traffic.
