The Lowdown on Flying to Clarksville

Many of the people who move to Clarksville arrive here by plane. So, before you're ready to pack up and head off to your new city, you need to know what you can expect when you're travelling here.

Here's what you need to know about flying to Clarksville:

- The closest airport isn't an option for most people

If you search for an airport in Clarksville online, you'll find a website for Clarksville Regional Airport. You'll also probably be happy to see that it only sits six miles outside the Clarksville city limits. Unfortunately, though, Clarksville Regional Airport doesn't handle any commercial flights. So, unless you have the money to charter your own flight, you won't be taking off and landing here!

- You'll have to travel through Nashville

The closest commercial airport to Clarksville is Nashville International Airport. While it may seem like a hassle to drive to a totally different city just to catch a plane, Nashville International Airport is only an hour away -- and you'll get to take I-24 virtually the entire way. So, if you're picturing yourself wandering down tiny off-beaten roads for hours on end to get to the airport, don't! Flying in and out of the Clarksville area isn't nearly that difficult!

- You'll get to enjoy state-of-the-art amenities

Once you arrive at Nashville International Airport, you'll realize this isn't an inconvenient way to travel at all. That's because Nashville International Airport offers non-stop flights to 50 different places, so once you make the drive in from Clarksville, you can sit back and let your pilot take care of the rest!

Nashville International Airport is also home to live music in the terminal, award-winning concessions, and ever-changing art exhibits. With amenities like these, you can say goodbye to those stressful trips where the airport feels like a giant bubble of anxiety!

- You can get someone else to do the driving

If you're flying into the Clarksville area for the very first time, you probably don't have a way to get from the airport into town. No problem!

Nashville International Airport is home to a special airport shuttle that travels between Clarksville and the airport 24 hours a day. All you have to do is make a reservation in advance, and you'll have a car that's ready, willing, and able to take you from the airport to your new home!

(And as an added benefit, you can use this service in reverse, so that you don't have to leave your car parked at the airport for days on end when you go on vacation!)
