Whether you're taking the short flight from the Baltimore–Washington International Airport (BWI) to Charlotte, North Carolina, for business or pleasure, you are sure to enjoy your time in the Queen City.

One of the biggest cities in the South, Charlotte has tons of places to shop, eat and enjoy a night out on the town. If you are in the mood for something less cosmopolitan, you can try some famous Carolina-style barbecue, or go see one of Charlotte's professional sports teams play.

Key Facts

Located just seven miles west of downtown, the Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) provides easy access to the city via car. A short 15-minute drive will put you at the center of the city, where you can explore all that Charlotte has to offer. The best bet for arriving visitors is to rent a car so that you can effortlessly make your way through the city, without having to worry about scheduling their trip.

Hints and Tips

Luckily for travelers making their way from BWI to CLT, almost all flights are nonstop. At just an hour and a half flight time, you will be in Charlotte before you know it. Because it is such a big airport, plan for a bit of a delay getting off the plane, finding your luggage, and getting to your rental car.
