Getting here

The closest airport is CAE (Columbia Metropolitan). There’s no hotel shuttle, but let Jennifer know in advance and she’ll try to arrange a ride. Southwest doesn’t fly into CAE; its nearest airports are Charlotte (CLT, 85 miles), Greenville-Spartanburg (GSP, 105 miles) and Charleston (CHS, 119 miles). From Charlotte, the Charlotte/Columbia Shuttle brings you straight to the hotel, with a discount for groups of 5 or more.
