Please be aware that Tallahassee only has a regional airport which results in limited flight options and frequently high airfare costs. The hosts encourage travelers to book their airline tickets early to receive the best rates. You may find a substantial savings on your airfare by flying into Jacksonville, FL and driving the 2.5 hours to Tallahassee. Note that this is a very easy drive (all interstate on I-10). There are also regional airports in Dothan, AL; Panama City, FL, and Valdosta, GA which sometimes have lower airfares than Tallahassee. Drive times range from 60 to 90 minutes from these airports to Tallahassee.
