Search Charlotte Flights

During the American Revolution, a British general characterised the city of Charlotte as a “hornet’s nest of rebellion”, giving the city its future nickname of “The Hornet’s Nest”. There’s your Charlotte history fact for today.

These days, the thumping of war drums has died down and now this onetime beehive is more known for its sports teams and museums than for ticking off the British army. Browse Wotif’s splendid Charlotte flights and say hello to North Carolina.

Getting Around Charlotte

Flights to Charlotte will land at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT), 13km outside the city centre. You can ride the CATS Sprinter Enhanced Bus straight from CLT to downtown or just hail a cab. And don’t forget about the complimentary shuttles that many of Wotif’s Charlotte hotels provide. But if you don’t feel like doing any of the above, snap up one of Wotif’s great car hire options and set off on your own.

When You Land…

If you’re arriving to “The Queen City” in the AM, that’s great—you’ll have an entire day to do stuff. After you’ve filled yourself with grits and sweet potatoes for breakfast, make your way to the NASCAR Hall of Fame and spend the afternoon among the sport’s best artefacts.

Is your flight arriving after the day has dimmed? Spend the evening in the EpiCentre (one of the most happening areas in town) and check out their nightlife.

Live Like a Local

Want to be among the local populace? Go to Time-Warner Cable Arena and catch a Bobcats basketball game. Or a Hurricanes hockey game. Or a concert. There’s always something happening here. Just think, you could see an NBA game, an NHL game and a rock show in the span of about three days.

When you’re ready to sip a cold one, look no further than The Olde Mecklenburg Brewery. The Fat Boy Baltic Porter is out-of-this-world good.

Come on. We know how badly you want to spend time in this charming Southern city. Check out Wotif’s cheap flights to Charlotte and set off immediately.

Feel like extending your trip to include another major city? Browse Wotif’s amazing offers on Chicago holidays and use the money you saved for a 945km jaunt to the shores of Lake Michigan. You’re going to want a Chicago-style hot dog.
