Everything you need to know about your flight to Wilkes-Barre
Public transport is a great way to see the various sights in Luzerne County itself, and to get around Wilkes-Barre. Renting bikes is also a good option, particularly if you wish to enjoy the riverside trail. For most people, having a car of their own will be essential, however. For anyone renting a car, New York and Philadelphia are realistic day trip destinations.
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport (AVP) is around 8 miles from Wilkes-Barre. Ground transportation options at the airport include taxi firms – which will be available from just outside the baggage reclaim area. There are also more luxurious limousine rental services as well as minibuses linked to some hotels. However, many people will prefer to rent a car from one of the outlets present at the airport. Book ahead to minimise fuss.
