Depending on where you live, you may be flying to your Charleston beach house here on the Isle of Palms. 

Thankfully, Charleston International Airport is one of the most pleasant airports to fly in and out of.  It’s just big enough to have good service, but not so big that it’s impersonal, rushed, or hard to navigate. 

Charleston’s legendary charm is in full display at CHS.

CHS: A class act

Not too long ago, our airport underwent a major renovation and upgrade, and it only seems to get better by the day.  Additional gates, enhanced security and baggage areas, new shopping and dining options, more convenient parking including valet service  -  they all add up to a better overall flow and visitor’s experience. 

The airport’s also an easy drive to all our Isle of Palms vacation rentals, with plenty of rideshare and rental car services available.

If you are flying here, you really can’t beat direct (non-stop) flights.  They save you stress, plus large amounts of time and energy that are much better spent on the beach with your toes in the sand.

You’re in luck.  Charleston’s brimming over with nonstop flight options...
