Complimentary airport shuttle service for the Holiday Inn is available from 8:00 AM until 10:00 PM US Central Standard Time.

The shuttle leaves the hotel on the hour, arrives at the airport by 20 minutes past the hour and returns to the hotel on the next hour. 

The first airport pickup is at 8.30am and the last is at 9.30pm.  Before and after these times you will need to take a taxi. Approximate

fare will be $22.00. On arrival at the hotel please verify the day/time you wish to depart so that shuttle arrangements can be confirmed for departure.

We are working on, but cannot guarantee, a shuttle service from Doubletree (3 miles or 7 minutes from campus) to the FedEx Institute of

Technology. Conference participants should consider arranging their own transport. There is, however, airport shuttle service at Doubletree.
