Charleston International Airport

All passenger flights use the main terminal complex; concourses and gates are connected airside, with check-in, security and baggage claim arranged in the central terminal building. Airlines generally use assigned areas rather than a strict single-terminal split by alliance.

The airport is about a 20-30 minute drive from downtown Charleston depending on traffic. Transport options include taxis, rideshare services (Uber/Lyft), hotel shuttles and rental cars; there is limited public-bus service to nearby areas but no heavy-rail link. Taxis and rideshares are the most reliable option for most travelers.

The terminal offers a range of passenger services including car rental desks, several dining options (mix of quick-service and sit-down), duty-free/retail areas for domestic sizes, and airline/paid lounges. Free Wi‑Fi is typically available; charging points are present in seating areas and near gates. Short- and long-term parking options are on site, and airport staff can assist with accessibility requests.

There are several chain hotels within a short drive of the terminal offering airport shuttles or quick taxi rides. For brand information and bookings use the hotel groups’ websites directly (e.g. hilton.com or marriott.com).
