The Amtrak employee suggested making a left out of the driveway to avoid the cobblestone road & traffic. Leaving was easier that direction. All passengers wore masks and had window seats if you weren't with someone. A one way ticket from Union Station to Lynchburg was $29. The reservation was made two days in advance.

Lots of open farmland and barns or just empty fields. But we drove with trepidation through these mountains until we finally arrived at Humpback Covered Bridge! It was worth the drive! Some other reviews have lots of stats about this bridge which is worth looking up, so I won't repeat them here, but suffice it to say, I was enthralled with this bridge that I've been wanting to visit for years!! I love covered bridges and have a collection of them on my Yelp profile if you'd like to take a gander. And I must say, this is one of my favorites considering the structural design, the historic value, the Virginia heritage, and lovely park area with picnic tables and the LOVE sign. Covington VA is definitely on my come back list!!

A teeny tiny airport in Roanoke. You don't want to be there any longer than you have to be, because…read morethere is nothing to do there, and not too many food options. The good thing about this airport is that there were zero people in the security line when I was there on a weekday morning. I just walked right in and was done within minutes. Once you're past security, there is one restaurant / coffee shop, and a sundry store. The rest is pretty much just gates and seating and a pair of restrooms. There is a lactation station next to the women's restroom, which is nice to see. I was going to sit on the floor and do some stretching, but the carpet is not the cleanest! I guess it's fine for stepping on, but I didn't want to sit on it.

Roanoke regional airport is a small regional airport that serves the cities of Roanoke and…read moreBlacksburg, Virginia. The cities are also served by Amtrak, but better to fly in. It was my first time at this airport on a March 2026 trip. I initially flew into DCA airport and took an Amtrak to Roanoke to save money. To get home, I decided to fly out of Roanoke. It was a 15 minute drive from Tanglewood Mall/Roanoke where my hotel was via Uber. I had an 6am flight out of ROA and was up at 3:45am to check out of my hotel and at the airport by 4:25am. At the airport, foot traffic that morning was light and I quickly went through TSA security, although at the time, the 2026 government shutdown was in full affect. Still is. The wait through security was longer than I expected, especially at 4:45am on a Monday morning. Thankfully, I had to wait just about 15 extra minutes before everyone was processed and we were off to our gates for the morning flights out of ROA. The airport itself is rather small, boasting at most 6 gates for out bound and inbound flights. ROA currently serves Delta, American, United, and Allegiant airlines with various destinations on the central and eastern time zones. I had enough time to get through security that I got myself breakfast that morning at one of their small airport shops. For the most part though, it was nice to have this airport near Roanoke and not have to Amtrak it back to Washington DC or Baltimore to fly home. While it can be cost prohibitive to fly in and out of Roanoke, the fact that it's here for convenience makes it worth it especially the time commitments. ROA airport is a cute little regional airport that serves southwest Virginia. Nothing else like it! The overall experience at the Roanoke-Blacksburg regional airport was typically good and okay. I actually had time that morning, so I just sat in the ticketing area for 15 minutes before going through the tsa security checkpoint. It's always nice having the Pre check when going through that each time. It sucked when I had to wait in line when even the tsa pre check line was delayed and merged with the regular line. Ugh, the temporary standstill was blah but eventually it moved and everyone got processed. The airport itself was small enough so you can probably get to the airport within 1 hour of departure and still make it on time, but things had to be perfectly timed for that to happen. The restaurants at ROA airport were good and decent. Not much variety though, but if you are there for a morning flight, you have limited options here. If I ever fly in or out of ROA airport in the future, I may want to visit the airport bar and discover what they have. The airport itself is very clean and the airport arrival departure info is updated as frequently as it needs to be. Travel can be chaotic, but for me at ROA airport in March 2026. For the most part though, I made my experience at the airport to the best of my ability. Got to my gate with plenty of time and had time to pick up breakfast and still had time for the restroom before boarding. Small regional airports are cool like that. ROA airport is the ideal airport to fly in and out of if you need to be in the southwest Virginia area. It can be competitive with other larger airports in the area, but if you need peace of mind or a flexible schedule, you can consider ROA airport as your final destination. Roanoke-Blacksburg regional airport sits near the city of Roanoke, Virginia. Its physical address is 5212 Aviation Drive NW in Roanoke. Access to the airport is limited. Only ticketed passengers can have access to the departure gates after passing thru the tsa checkpoints. Although the traveling public has access to the ticketing lobby, its activity is limited to those who have a legitimate reason for being at the airport terminal. As far as parking goes, there are parking garages nearby for those who need parking and cellphone parking lots for people picking up their friends or family arriving into ROA airport. If you are like me, there is public transportation to and from the ROA airport. Take route 25 from the airport and it'll take you to the third street bus terminal, where you will transfer to your final destination. And there's always Uber and Lyft services at the airport for your convenience. And so, if you love flying and need to be in the Roanoke, Virginia area, consider the hometown airport for your travel needs. 5.0 stars for the overall experience. Support local! A+
