💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors know to call ahead for after-hours arrivals and fuel, since UOX can be quiet outside staffed hours; on Ole Miss home football weekends, book ground transportation and lodging well in advance.
🚖 Getting There
The airport is a short drive from downtown Oxford and Ole Miss, so a car, taxi, or rideshare is the most practical option. There is no scheduled public transit directly to the terminal, and rental cars may need to be arranged ahead through the FBO or a local agency. If you are flying in for an Ole Miss event, allow extra time for campus-area traffic and parking.
