Flight

Gainesville Airport

This is definitely the closest airport as it is the only one in town, however, the prices are more expensive, there are less options, and direct flights to this airport are only available for a small subset of starting airports.

Flight

Jacksonville Airport

Jacksonville is the next closest airport besides the Gainesville airport, but it is still about an hour and a half away driving time. The flights are less than Gainesville and they offer a bigger selection.

Flight

Orlando Airport

While this airport is 2 hours away by car, it offers lower costs flights and more options than Jacksonville or Gainesville.

Flight

Tampa Airport

This airport is very similar to the Orlando airport. It is about 2 hours away by car, but has lower prices and more choices of flights than Jacksonville and Gainesville.
