Flying from Charlotte Douglas International
Charlotte Douglas International is American Airlines' second-largest hub and one of the world's busiest connecting airports, about 7 miles west of uptown Charlotte. American operates the overwhelming majority of flights across the US, Caribbean and Latin America, with nonstop service to London, Frankfurt and Munich on American, British Airways and Lufthansa. The single terminal keeps connections short; the CATS Sprinter bus reaches uptown in 20-25 minutes for $2.20 versus about $25 by taxi. Because American dominates, the cheapest fares usually come from booking early or flying midweek rather than from carrier competition.
