Flying In ?
The most convenient Airport if you can get a reasonable fare is right in Asheville, NC.( approx 20 min )  It is actually an international airport. Other airports that some people like to fly into and their approximate distances/times are : Spartanburg Sc (77 mi/1 hr 20 min),  Charlotte, NC Airport (125mi/2 hrs 10 min), Raleigh NC Airport (238 mi/4 hrs) Tri Cities Airport - Johnson City (76 Mi/ 90 minutes, Knoxville TN (125 mi/2 hrs 15 min) .  If you are arriving at the Asheville airport the Yellow cab 828-253-3311 is probably the cheaper service that you can get over to the hotel. You can call in advance and have them schedule your transfers from the airport. Tell them that you are with the Racin Connection - they may give you a discount !!
