For those of you who are flying to North Carolina in June, there are three airport options. Unfortunately, each one is a forty-five minute to an hour's drive away from Shelby, where Joss In June will be held. Please accept our apologies, but know that we are unable to provide transport to and from the airports. That's just simply beyond our financial capabilities. However, car rental services such as Avis, Hertz, Enterprise, etc are represented at each airport.
The directions below will take you to the Hampton Inn Shelby, the conference hotel (for rates and to make your reservations, see the Accommodations portion of this website.) We're basically pulling these directions from Google Maps, so please make sure to double check them before you hit the road. (There's a handy Google Maps app in the lower right sidebar as well.) To get from the hotel to the LeGrand Center, where Joss In June will take place:
Turn left (North/away from Hwy 74) from the hotel/Cleveland Mall onto E. Marion St. for 1 mile, and the destination will be on your left.
The LeGrand Center
1800 E. Marion St.
Shelby, NC 28150
For those of you who are driving in, just scroll on down past the airport information, and you'll find general directions from the major interstate highways.
Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport
We highly recommend GSP International. A smaller airport than Charlotte-Douglass, and roughly equidistant from Shelby, GSP is generally easier to get in and out of, is less crowded, and flights to and from GSP are often less expensive. GSP is serviced by Delta, United, US Airways, Southwest, American Eagle, and Allegiant airlines.
Directions from GSP to Shelby (Hampton Inn Shelby)
Drive Time: approximately 1 hour.

Charlotte-Douglas is the main international airport in western North Carolina and is a hub for US Airways. Charlotte is also the largest city in North Carolina, and home to both a thriving night life and many opportunities to see live theater, symphony performances, Opra Carolina, etc. Further, Charlotte is a central location, and those wishing to make a vacation out of their Joss In June trip will find Charlotte to be an easy day trip to a variety of regional attractions. Charlotte-Douglas is served by US Airways, Delta, American, United, JetBlue, AirTran, Air Canada, Lufthansa, and Insel Air airlines.
Directions from Charlotte-Douglas to Shelby (Hampton Inn Shelby)

Asheville Regional is the smallest of the three airports, but the city of Asheville is another great destination for those of you wanting to make a vacation out of your stay in NC. Asheville is home to the Biltmore Estate, as well as the homes of Thomas Wolfe and Carl Sandburg, and the cultural and culinary scene are perhaps the finest in the state. Asheville is also conveniently located for those wishing to get away from it all and spend some time on the Appalachian Trail in our incredible Blue Ridge Mountains. Asheville Regional is served by Delta, United, US Airways, and Allegiant airlines.
