Air Flights: The closest airport is Harrisburg, PA, but not all major airlines fly into here.  There is no shuttle service to the hotel.
Additional Airports:  Baltimore, MD (BWI) - Philadelphia, PA (PHL) - Newark, NJ (EWR), Regan Airport/Washington National (DCA).
These are about 2 - 3 1/2 hours driving distance.   Many airlines have changed their policies for flying with animals so please check all the rules/prices before making your flight reservations.  Some have weather blackouts till September 15.  Many airlines cannot fit an XL crate in the cargo area and most have restrictions on how many animals can be in cargo on one place so make sure to ask.  Most allow 2 dogs per passenger and additional dogs can be a large extra charge beyond the regular fee.
