Airport
The closest airport is Huntington Tri-State, but it is a small airport with limited options.
Most locals use Yeager Airport in Charleston (capital city) because it has more options. The airlines through Yeager hub out of Chicago, Atlanta, Charlotte, and DC.
Uber/Lyft is still relatively new around here. We will begin working on coordinating groups of people to and from airports without having to rent cars. More information will come soon.
