Wanderlust World Wanderlust World If you need to fly to or from another country, you'll need to use an international airport. The international airports in South Carolina are among the best choices because of their proximity to desired entertainment and business locations, and because of their history of passenger satisfaction. As of February 2010, none of the international airports in South Carolina operate direct flights to or from any international destinations. However, each offers connecting flights to several international locations.
The Charleston International Airport is the largest of South Carolina's three major international airports. It accommodates nearly 2 million passengers per year, completing about 116 flights to 14 destinations every day. The Charleston airport is adjacent to the Charleston Air Force Base, so security tends to be excellent despite the large number of people served.
