About Charlotte Airport 

The Charlotte Douglas International Airport is a civil-military airport located in the city of Charlotte, North Carolina. Built in 1935 and initially known as Charlotte Municipal Airport, the airport was renamed in 1982 after the city’s former mayor Ben Elbert Douglas Sr. Despite its seemingly small size compared to other airports in the country, Charlotte Airport is the second biggest American Airlines hub (second only to Dallas/Fort Worth), and is considered one of the busiest airports in the United States, serving 178 destinations, both local and international.

The airport serves as the entry point to the Queen City, which has slowly emerged as one of the country’s top destinations. This is largely because of Charlotte’s unique brand of Southern culture, as well as the number of attractions found within the city. While in Charlotte, locals and visitors alike get a taste of art, sports, culture, cuisine, and so much more. To make the most out of your time in the city, you will have to forego carrying your stuff around. Bounce will happily take the weight off your shoulders (literally!) by providing storage services via chosen partners all over Charlotte. All you have to do is find the nearest Bounce location, drop your luggage off, and move on with your plans.
