Travel & Transportation
Airport Transportation
Please note, SABCS does
not provide transportation from
the airport to the meeting.
However, there are a number of
hotels both 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
SAT’s baggage claim area 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 the shuttle
service. We recommend
advance confirmation of
this service with the
hotel of choice.
San Antonio
International Airport is
located 8.6 miles from
