Arriving at TYS

McGhee Tyson (TYS) serves Knoxville. Your chauffeur parks and meets you inside at baggage claim with a name sign, rather than waiting on the arrivals road.

McGhee Tyson is about 20 minutes south of Downtown, and the drive out to Gatlinburg and the Smokies takes around an hour.

What is included

Flight tracking on every pickup, so a delayed landing moves the pickup with it at no charge. International arrivals include 60 minutes of waiting from touchdown and domestic arrivals 30.

Your chauffeur carries your bags to the car. The meeting point for your terminal is written in the confirmation email.

Getting into Knoxville

Most journeys from TYS run to Downtown Knoxville, Old City, Bearden, West Knoxville and the rest of the metro.

Game days at Neyland Stadium bring more than a hundred thousand people into the city, and pickup points move accordingly.

What to send when you book

The flight number, the arrival date and time, passenger count, luggage, and any child seats. For departures from TYS, tell us the check-in time you are aiming for and we will work back from it.
