BY AIR<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"Traveling by air? Fall River is lucky to be positioned within close distance to two international airports. The T.F. Greene Airport in Warwick, Rhode Island is only a thirty five minute drive away. Its international flights are limited (only servicing the Caribbean), but the airport’s small size make it a favorite for locals, who appreciate the ease of traveling through T.F. Greene.<\/p>\n

More options can be found at Boston Logan International Airport. The airport is typically an hour drive from Fall River, depending on traffic. Its status as a major U.S. travel hub means that you can often enjoy lower fares and nearly unlimited options when it comes to destinations.<\/p>\n
