My son lives in Jersey City, and with me in Charleston, we need to figure the logistics of flying out of New York or Atlanta. Seems like starting in Stuttgart and making our way to the Nurburgring is our first step. From there, driving is 5.5 to 6 hours to Paris.

What are your thoughts on flying or not flying on certain airlines? Doing a Google search for flights, brought up airlines I’ve never heard of. Any to avoid

The non-stop flight from Charlotte to Frankfurt on American works well. It can be pricey though. I just wouldn't do a connecting flight to get to Europe if possible. Last time we went we home-based out of Mainz. A smaller, more quaint city near Frankfurt and took the train to Stuttgart and other locations across Europe. Something to know is that once you're there in Europe, airfare once on the continent is stupid cheap. Like bus fare prices to fly to Greece or Finland. The trains are just a great way to see the sights and are pretty reasonably priced.
