I looked into flying. Oddly, there's no direct flights from Nashville to DC, so we'd be looking at 6-8 hours of travel time plus a couple hours of airport overhead. I prefer to drive anyway, and routinely drive to Phoenix and LV (5-6 hours), no big deal. I'm actually looking forward to it. I like the quirky truck stops and cafes we always seem to find along the way.

Did you check the small regional carriers?

Son lives in Bristol and has flown to Florida via a small regional carrier out of the local regional airport. I forget the name of the carrier, but they had two flights to Florida per week. And for cheap too! His last flight to Florida was less than $100 round trip. Flew out of a small airport near Bristol and landed at a small regional airport near Orlando (not the big Orlando airport).

Otherwise, the closest main airport is Charlotte, NC.
