Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport

CHO has upgraded its data feed for the web page display of current arrivals, current departures, and flight tracking.  Current arrival and departure information provides more detail than "on time" or "delayed" or "cancelled", while flight tracking allows drilling for even greater detail regarding a particular flight, including visual depiction of where the aircraft is on a map.  All of this information is available at www.GoCHO.com.  In addition, all of this great information is also available en espanol.

It is now more important than ever for passengers to arrive at CHO at least an hour and a half in advance of their scheduled departure. The Transportation Security Administration has implemented a new screening procedure for checked bags that is designed to enhance security, but may take longer to process baggage. Passengers arriving late may risk missing their flight if there is not enough time to process their luggage. It is recommended that passengers allow adequate time for check in, baggage inspection, and the checkpoint processing. Airlines advise that passengers should arrive at the gate area at least 30 minutes before boarding. Although the check in procedure at CHO is usually short, there are times during the day that lines may occur.

With warm weather right around the corner, now is a good time to book your trip for Spring. A search this morning found nice deals to fabulous destinations in March. Roundtrip fares from CHO to Fort Lauderdale and Miami were found for $150. Even a ticket for San Juan, Puerto Rico was found for $350 roundtrip.  These prices may change as airlines fill aircraft, so book early for great travel deals.

Delta states that it was able to add the routes because its combination with Northwest allows them to bring new service to markets that previously did not have the demand to sustain nonstop flights. Follow the link for the press release.
