Flight

Fly direct into Erie

American Airlines flies directly into the Erie International Airport via a connection in the Charlotte-Douglass airport. It's a great option, but can get expensive if you wait too long so book early! The Erie airport is about 20 minutes from the Courtyard Marriott.

Flight

Other flight options

You can fly into Cleveland, Buffalo, or Pittsburgh and rent a car at the airport to drive the rest of the way to Erie. Buffalo is our top choice for ease and shorter drive time, followed by Cleveland. Driving from Buffalo is about 1 hour 40 minutes, and driving from Cleveland is about 1 hour 50 min. The drive from the Pittsburgh airport is a little over 2-hours.

Driving to Erie

You can drive to Erie from New York City via I-80 W to I-79 N. It's a beautiful drive through the Pennsylvania mountains and takes approx. 6 1/2 to 8-hours depending on how much you stop. If you're driving from the West, you'll likely take I-90 E.
