Flight
This is a small airport with very limited direct flights. I've always found it worth my cost/benefit analysis to go ahead and fly in/out of CHA, even if it requires a lay over and is probably more expensive.
Flight
Chattanooga is almost exactly 2 hours north of Atlanta and 2 hours southwest of Nashville. These will have more direct flight options, and will probably be a layover if you hopped on to CHA. These are both large airports, but not difficult to fly in/out of.
Travel Note
If you fly into Atlanta or Nashville, there's a shuttle service based here in Chattanooga that goes between both airports. A round trip shuttle service from airport to Chattanooga and back to airport is around $80.
