Charlottesville is located in central Virginia, approximately 125 miles southwest of Washington, D.C. and 70 miles west of Richmond, Virginia. There is an airport in Charlottesville (CHO) but it's pretty small and there is a premium on airfare. However, if you’re short on time, it’s definitely quick, easy, and the way to go. (If you fly into CHO and are not renting a car, both the Hampton Inn and the Omni have free airport shuttles if you have a room reserved with them.) It's common to fly into Richmond or Washington, D.C. (Dulles or Reagan National). The drive from Baltimore-Washington International (BWI) Airport is is about 3+ hours. Driving time from Charlotte, North Carolina, is approximately 4.5 hours either by I-77 to I-81 to I-64 or by I-85 through Greensboro to US-29.
