Location and Accommodations

Directions to Gainesville

• Air Directions to Gainesville:

  There are two major carriers in Gainesville: USAir and Delta. Delta has been replaced by the ASA short distance carrier; however, reservations can be taken by any Delta agent. The nearest hub for USAir is Charlotte, North Carolina, while the Delta hub is Atlanta, Georgia. All major flights into Gainesville from "the north" will go through one of these cities.

   

  An alternative is to fly into Jacksonville, Orlando or Tampa, but you will need to rent a car. The Jacksonville airport is roughly 1.5 hours by car and is northeast of Gainesville. The Orlando airport is roughly 2.5 hours by car and is southeast of Gainesville. The Tampa airport is roughly 2 hours southwest of Gainesville.
