Air Travel to North Florida
The Gainesville Regional Airport is served mainly by Atlantic Southeast
Airlines and US Air Express, the commuter partners of Delta
and US Airways, respectively.
This means you will have to go through either Atlanta (on Delta) or
Charlotte (on US Airways).
It is a short cab ride from the airport to the university (6 miles).
If you want a direct flight, you can fly to
Jacksonville International Airport
(1.5 hour drive) or
Orlando International Airport
(2 hour drive) and drive to Gainesville.
A postscript map of north Florida with directions
to Gainesville from these two
airports is available. If you are driving from Jacksonville, do not
speed between I-10 and Gainesville, you will be ticketed
with high probability. If you are driving from Orlando, the turnpike and
I-75 is the fastest, but US 441 is a nicer drive.
