From Charlotte, NC
By Car It’s a doable drive, but not an easy one. Expect a full day of nonstop driving on state and federal highways. By Plane There are multiple nonstop flights every day from Charlotte to Ithaca. This is the easiest option to get to Ithaca; however, it is also more expensive. Cheaper options can be found by flying into Rochester, Elmira, or Syracuse, but this requires car transportation to Ithaca.
