Airport

San Antonio is served by the San Antonio International Airport, located 8.6 miles from the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in downtown San Antonio. The airport serves 14 airlines flying non-stop to 45 destinations in the U.S., Mexico, and Germany. If you are flying from another country you can quickly make a connection, especially at airports in Houston and Dallas, which are just a short flight away.

Ground transportation to and from airport

Please note, SABCS^® does not provide transportation from the airport 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.

Public transportation

VIA Metropolitan Transit is San Antonio’s public transportation agency offering service throughout the city, including service within the downtown area.
