Travel and Transportation

Airport Transportation

Please note, SABCS® does not provide transportation from airports to the meeting. However, there are a number of hotels surrounding San Antonio International Airport and in the downtown area that provide free shuttle service to and from the airport. Hotel shuttles are located outside the baggage claim area at the airport for your convenience. Please contact your hotel of choice to inquire whether they offer courtesy shuttle service.

A hotel kiosk, with courtesy phone, is available in the baggage claim area for passengers to call their hotel for specific arrival or departure times for shuttle service. We recommend advance confirmation of this service with the hotel of choice.

San Antonio International Airport is located 8.6 miles from the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center. Many companies provide taxicab service at the airport. If you need a taxi, simply follow the signs leading to outer commercial curbside at Terminal A. Taxi fare is approximately $29 USD. Additional information on taxi service is available through the San Antonio International Airport website.

VIA Metropolitan Transit is San Antonio’s public transportation agency offering service throughout the city, including service within the downtown area. To get downtown from the airport, go to the Lower Roadway (Arrivals/Baggage Level in Terminal A and B), across the marked crosswalk to the outer curb. VIA’s bus stop is located on the far West end of Terminal B, clearly marked on the column. You will board the VIA bus route 5, which operates every day.
