Flight
TF Green is Rhode Island's main airport, located ~30 minutes away from downtown Newport where our wedding festivities are being held. It's easy to Uber from TF Green to Newport so car rentals aren't necessary. American Airlines and Southwest are the main airlines serving TF Green. There are also several flights on United and Delta from major hub cities. For our Washington DC friends - From DCA, there are a few direct flights per day on American and one direct flight per day on Southwest into TF Green. From BWI, there are several direct flights per day on Southwest. Flying into Boston Logan Airport is also an option, but Boston is located ~1 hour and 30 minutes from Newport. We'd advise renting a car and leaving plenty of time for travel if Boston is the best flight option.
Train
Amtrak's Northeast Regional rail stops in Rhode Island at Kingston and Providence stops. The Acela stops in Providence only. The Kingston stop is located ~30 minutes from downtown Newport. The Providence stop is located ~45 minutes from downtown Newport. Amtrak is a great option for those coming from Boston, NYC/NJ, or Philadelphia!
Travel Note
Our hotels in Middletown (the Sonesta Select, Holiday Inn Express, and Howard Johnsons) are a short 10-15 minute drive or Uber from downtown Newport. An Uber typically costs $10-15 and there's usually plenty of Ubers available, although you may have to wait 5-10 minutes so we recommend calling early.
