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.
