We are now 3 1/2 months and counting from the wedding, which means people are starting to make plans for travel to and from the Norfolk area (at least people who are more responsible than me - I generally wait until the last minute to do everything).
With that in mind, I thought now might be a good time to answer some questions we've been getting a lot lately.
For example...
Q: What is the best airport to fly into for the wedding?
A: There are two main airports to consider, Norfolk (ORF) and Newport News (PHF). Norfolk is where the wedding is, and the airport is fairly close to where the festivities will take place. Unfortunately (at least this is the case from Atlanta, but maybe - hopefully? - it's different elsewhere), it's also typically pretty expensive. Newport News is usually much cheaper - we often fly there roundtrip from Atlanta for 150 dollars - but requires about a 25-30 minute drive once you get there. So you can save money to fly there, but you'll then possibly need a rental car.
Q: Which airlines fly to which places?
A: I'll break this down by location:
Norfolk: Delta, Northwest, United, American, Southwest
Newport News: Delta, Airtran, United
Q: Do I need to rent a car?
A: Well, we hope not. We have chosen our wedding location to host every single event - the Friday night dinner, the ceremony and reception on Saturday night, and a Sunday brunch. Once you are at the hotel, you will have no need of a car. According to this taxicab site, it is roughly a $20-25 cab ride from Norfolk airport, so I think that is probably the way to go (and we will look into shuttle options as well). From Newport News, it may make more sense to go the rental car route, but we'll keep investigating on that front.
Any further questions? Feel free to email us at hilaryandmicah@gmail.com and we'll get back to you pronto!
