International Travel Options
Our office highly recommends you fly into Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Airport (airport code MDT) if possible. Other options in the region include New York, Philadelphia, or Washington, D.C. While nearby, airports other than Harrisburg will require transferring by bus or train. Please consider factors such as the total cost of transfers, the total travel time, the possibility of travel mishaps (missed departures, late arrivals, lost luggage), and the physical toll of jet lag.
