Charlotte is best for the western Piedmont and South Carolina border, Raleigh–Durham suits the Research Triangle and central region, while Asheville serves the Blue Ridge Mountains. Flight times to Charlotte are around 5 hours eastbound and 6 hours westbound, with one-stop options adding 2–4 hours depending on the connection."
