Flight and Airport Information

Many of you all have asked (or are planning to ask) about flights and airports. The Outer Banks doesn't actually have an airport, but there are a few within driving distance.

Norfolk International Airport (code: ORF) in Norfolk, VA is your best bet. It's about an hour and forty-five minutes (been done in shorter) from the village of Duck, about an hour and a half from the Hilton Garden Inn. Southwest flies there. Those coming from Kentucky may find much better deals flying out of Louisville. I recently did a quick search for flights from Louisville to Norfolk on the Thursday/Friday before the wedding (June 11 and 12) and leaving Sunday (June 14) and found some good rates.

Newport News-Williamsburg International Airport (code: PHF) in Newport News, VA is your next best option. It's 2 hours from Duck, and my guess is that most people will find better fares flying into Norfolk, but it's worth a shot.

If you have questions about other airports, send me an email (ghcornwell@gmail.com) and I'll help you out.

MORE BEACH HOUSES

These are particularly close to the wedding site -- right in the middle of Duck and only a block or two walk from the wedding and reception. **Point of emphasis: We've done some quick calculations, and renting a house -- even if you're not there for a full week -- is generally the most affordable (and comfortable) accomodation option.**

All of these are Sunday-to-Sunday rentals. (Click on the name to link to pictures and more rental info).
