Piedmont Triad International Airport (GSO)

Overview

Piedmont Triad International Airport is a cute little airport midway between Greensboro, High Point and Winston-Salem. This means it is well connected to a number of interstates, including the I-40 and the I-85.

Piedmont Triad has a modest selection of retail outlets ranging from newsstands to a PGA Tour Shop. The airport operates close to 60 flights a day, but it is still small enough to offer passengers all the charm of a less crowded airport.

Location

The airport is nine miles (14km) west of Greensboro.
