Arriving at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport
Cincinnati's airport sits across the Ohio River in northern Kentucky, about 13 miles from downtown. Despite the distance, the drive is straightforward via I-71/I-75. The airport was formerly a Delta hub and has a spacious layout that handles current traffic volumes with ease.
Two concourses serve all flights, and the walk to baggage claim is reasonable from most gates. A landing alert helps you time the cross-river drive and avoids extended waiting at the arrivals curb.
