Q + A

Which airports can I fly into?

Wilmington International Airport (ILM): located in Wilmington, this airport is the most convenient with travel time ranging from 15-20 minutes to the listed hotels and venue. Myrtle Beach International Airport (MYR): tends to have cheaper flights and is just under a 2-hour drive to Wilmington; a great option if you plan to rent a car! Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU): tends to have more flights and can be cheaper than ILM; about a 2-hour drive to Wilmington.
