How to get to Augusta?

Are you coming to our wedding?  That's great!  Oh, you live far away?  Well let me help you with getting to Augusta.

You can drive to Augusta, but if you're coming from far away (Kansas City, Philadelphia, Chicago, Platteville, Minneapolis etc.) there are some options.

1.  Drive the whole way here.
2.  Fly direct into Augusta (AGS) on Delta, US Air or American Airlines.  If you do, it's cheapest to fly into Augusta on the last plane and fly out on the first.  Why is this?  It's because it's cheap to keep a plane overnight in Augusta.
3. Fly into Atlanta and drive or ride to Augusta.  Atlanta's a hub for Delta and Airtran, two cheap carriers.  If you are planning on renting a car, it could be a decent deal to do this, but know that it's about a full tank of gas to go from Augusta to Atlanta and back.  Another option is the Augusta-Atlanta Shuttle.  You can fly into Atlanta on the cheapest flight you can and be picked up at the airport by the shuttle.  This could be very cheap.
4. Sign up for the Army.  If you get in the right branch, you might be stationed at Ft. Gordon.  If you're considering this option, please talk to us first.  There are probably other options that we're not listing here that will require less of your time and commitment.
