If you need help getting to #GPCharlotte or just a roof over your head once you’re there, Cedric Phillips has everything you need! Modern Weekend is just days away!

Welcome back to the Grand Prix Charlotte countdown blog! Yesterday, I introduced you to our featured cosplayer, Christine Sprankle, who will be joining us at Grand Prix Charlotte this weekend. So if you’re looking to get a photo with Noble Hierarch or Avacyn, the Purifier, The Queen City is the place to be on May 20-22.

Now that you know all of the reasons to attend Grand Prix Charlotte, the only thing left to do is figure out how to get there and where to lay your head at night. So let’s talk travel and lodging today, shall we?

Airports

If you’re flying to Grand Prix Charlotte, you’ve only got one airport to choose from: Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT). Charlotte Douglas International Airport, a joint civil-military public international airport, is less than eight miles from the Charlotte Convention Center with plenty of public transportation available to get to and from. I’ve flown through CLT quite a few times during my travels for the SCG Tour® and have found it fairly simple to navigate, so anyone with fears of having to navigate a complex airport can rest easy.
