Air Travel
Some of you undoubtedly have started to make travel plans for the conference. For those of you traveling by air, you may have experienced that although Williamsport has a regional airport, the flights going in and out are very limited and expensive and often dramatically lengthen your total flight time. A more sensible and cost effective approach would be to fly into one of our area airports (Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, State College, or Harrisburg) and rent a car to complete your travel to Williamsport. These airports are all within 1 ½ to 2 hours from Williamsport and have more regular service to and from the area. Call us with questions about travel 570-327-4516. [Directions to Penn College]
