Poconos Airports and Getting to Your Cabin Rental
This guide covers Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport (AVP), using its airlines page and ground transportation page, and Lehigh Valley International Airport (ABE), using its airline partners page and parking and transportation page, all checked on October 18, 2026. Airline routes change and some are seasonal, so treat these lists as a starting point and confirm on the airline’s site before you book.
Quick answer
Neither airport is in the Poconos, and neither publishes a drive time to the mountains, so plan that leg with your map app. AVP lists rental cars, two taxi companies and hotels with shuttles. ABE lists four airlines. BnB Search is a rental directory, so nothing here is ranked or rated.
