The Big Two: Don't Be a Lone Star Doofus
For most folks flying in and out of the bat capital, there are two main airports to consider:
- Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS): This is your big kahuna, the whole enchilada. Think flashing lights, international connections, and that feeling of "wow, I'm about to avoid Austin traffic for a few hours." This is where most commercial airlines land.
- Austin Executive Airport (EDC): This airport caters more to private planes and those fancy business jets. Think less crowds, more "hey, is that Matthew McConaughey's pilot?" sightings.
Basically, if you're coming in on a commercial flight, you're most likely landing at AUS.
But Wait, There's More! (Because Texas Y'all)
Now, if you start digging around the internet, you might unearth some articles claiming there are like, 27 airports in Austin. Don't get spooked, pilgrim! This likely includes smaller airstrips, helipads, and maybe even that one guy's really big backyard with a windsock. Unless you're Maverick in a stolen F-14, you can safely ignore those.
QuickTip: Skip distractions — focus on the words.
The Important Takeaway (Besides Avoiding Hangovers)
Look, here's the gist:
- Need to catch a commercial flight? Head to Austin-Bergstrom International (AUS).
- Ballin' out and flying private? Austin Executive Airport (EDC) might be your scene.
- Don't get bogged down by internet rabbit holes about a million airports. It's just the two main ones that matter.
Now you can focus on the important stuff, like planning your breakfast taco crawl and figuring out which two-step lessons you absolutely need to avoid at all costs.
