Where do you fly into to go to Savannah?

When you deplane at Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport, opportunities for a getaway full of Southern charm abound. Whether you're staying in Savannah, plan to spend your trip on Hilton Head, or want to enjoy the best both have to offer, it's most convenient with a set of wheels.



The most convenient airport for visiting Savannah, Georgia, is the Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport (SAV). Located just about 15 miles (approximately 20 minutes) northwest of the historic downtown district, it is a well-served mid-sized airport that handles flights from major carriers like Delta, American, United, and several low-cost airlines like Allegiant and JetBlue. The airport is famous for its "Savannah Square" themed terminal which provides an immediate sense of the city's charm. If you are looking for more flight options or lower fares, the next closest major hub is Jacksonville International Airport (JAX) in Florida, which is about a 2-hour drive (130 miles) south of Savannah. Alternatively, some travelers fly into Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), though it is a much longer 3.5 to 4-hour drive. For the vast majority of visitors, flying directly into SAV is the best choice, as it places you right at the doorstep of the city's historic squares, the River Street waterfront, and the nearby Tybee Island beaches without the need for a long, interstate road trip.
