Charleston International Airport continues to be in the news, as new nonstop Charleston to Florida flights have been announced. CHS, as our lovely airport is known, has experienced tremendous growth in the last several years. It underwent a massive renovation and expansion, to the tune of around $200 million. If you flew here before the reno, the charges are notable. There’s a snazzy light-filled central atrium. More user-friendly flow from check-in through arrival. More gates and baggage carousels. Better dining and shopping options. Redesigned security area. Lowcountry-themed art throughout the facility. Added parking. Basically, it’s better in just about every way. The improved facility has rapidly attracted more and better carriers and flights. JetBlue and Southwest have added a slew of flights, many nonstop and at great fares. And in a major coup, this spring British Airways began offering nonstop service from Charleston to London Heathrow.
