| When
flying into Northeastern Pennsylvania, allow yourself plenty of time to
reach your destination. Although rush hour traffic is slight, accidents
on interstate highways can close roads for hours. Also, the distance you
must travel between hotels, courthouses and offices is much greater than
in the city.
Consider renting a car upon your arrival at the airport, as public transportation is limited. Even if your hotel offers a shuttle to and from the airport, make sure to inquire as to whether they also offer one to and from downtown areas. County courthouses are not always located in city centers, however, so check out our Maps and Directions Guide or MapQuest for more information. Please note that regional airports like Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, Harrisburg and Lehigh Valley do not offer many direct flights, but provide connecting flights to larger cities like Atlanta, Chicago, New York and Boston. If you require a connecting flight, it is recommended that you allow yourself additional time to reach your destination. If you plan on driving to Hazleton, Wilkes-Barre or Scranton from New York or Philadelphia, consider staying overnight unless you plan on taking very, very short depositions. See our Maps & Directions Guide for driving directions, distances and travel times. |

PHILADELPHIA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT Unless you plan to do some sightseeing, if you are traveling to Northeastern Pennsylvania from the Philadelphia International Airport it is strongly advised that you avoid traveling through the City of Philadelphia. To save time, head south on I-95 toward Wilmington, DE about five miles, then head north on the Blue Route toward I-476 / Northeast Extension of the Pennsylvania Turnpike. See our directions page for further instructions. Without any traffic, it will take you about two and a half hours if you're driving to Hazleton, three hours to Wilkes-Barre and three and a half hours to Scranton. Try catching a connecting flight to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport or fly directly into the Lehigh Valley International Airport instead.

WILKES-BARRE/SCRANTON The
Wyoming Valley is home to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport.
The airport itself, however, is neither in Wilkes-Barre nor Scranton.
It is actually located midway between the two near Avoca, PA. That is
why it is often referred to locally as the Avoca Airport. Back
