FLIGHTS
ILM is an incredibly easy airport, however you will likely need to make a connection from your hometown. Delta flies into ILM, with all flights connecting through Atlanta. American Airlines is the main carrier and connects through Charlotte, primarily, but also has limited connections through PHL, LGA, DFW, and DCA. The airport is approximately 15 minutes from the office (FEC) and an additional 10 from the Wrightsville Beach hotels below.
