Get in
Nashville is the cheapest way, it is a 2 hour drive and has many flights all around the country. Chattanooga is another alternative and is about 1 hour away. It is a small airport with small planes flying to about 7 hubs, but that is it. Huntsville Regional is a 45 minute drive South down a few country roads.

Get around
Your best bet is to rent a car at the airport, but it is possible to walk a couple of areas.
