<p>Our D is graduating next month and has always flown into CVille as opposed to Richmond or DC. You simply can’t rely upon your schedule syncing up with another student’s…way too much of a hassle. Plus, it was our experience from where we are (~20 hours away by car) that flights into CVille were actually cheaper assuming you booked early. Cabs are about $50 RT (to/from campus). The one thing I would strongly suggest is to always book earlier flights out of CVille. When D was a first year, her flight was delayed out of CVille. When she finally got to Charlotte, her connecting flight had just left so she was stuck until the next morning. </p>
