Why Fly Private
Augusta Regional Airport (KAGS) is a small regional airport with limited commercial service. During Masters week, commercial options are essentially nonexistent or priced at a premium that rivals charter.
FBO slots at KAGS fill weeks in advance. Brokers and operators who know the Augusta market can secure landing slots that disappear fast. Ground time at a private terminal is measured in minutes, not hours.
The drive from Atlanta to Augusta is 2.5 hours each way — and during Masters week, traffic on I-20 is significantly worse. A 25-minute flight from KATL or KPDK eliminates the round trip entirely.

Insider Tips
Book your FBO slot at KAGS at least 4-6 weeks before the tournament. Ramp space is limited and priority goes to larger aircraft and repeat clients.
Daniel Field (KDNL) is closer to the course but has a shorter runway (3,700 ft). Light jets and turboprops can use it; midsize and above need KAGS.
Ground transportation from KAGS to the course takes 15-20 minutes. Pre-arrange a car — ride-share availability during the tournament is unpredictable.
If flying in for a single day, consider a same-day round trip. Many patrons fly in Thursday or Friday morning and return the same evening.
