Charleston International is a small, well organized airport. There are two main terminals, and gates and baggage claim are easy for guests to find. Currently, six major airlines service CHS. Search for a flight and get airline information below.
Shuttle and taxi services operate in the central median just outside of baggage claim at the Charleston International Airport. Hotel shuttles, ride share transportation, and off-site rental car transport shuttles are also located in front of the Charleston International Airport terminal. Ground transportation begins in the early morning hours (typically around 5:00 am) and runs until shortly after the last flight of the day arrives (usually around 12:30 am).
A trip to Charleston is an optimal time to schedule a professional photo shoot. Visitors are already joined together with loved ones, and a more beautiful backdrop is hard to find. Photographers can meet guests on location for a traditional photo shoot, or incorporate more of a photojournalistic style in an extended shoot to document the day's activity. These Charleston photography pros can also help out with a surprise proposal shoot, engagement session, or family portraits. Call 843-633-1338 to check availability and schedule your photo shoot.
