Transportation Tips: The San Antonio International Airport is serviced by
most airlines. It is about 10 miles north and 15 minutes away from
downtown.

Shuttle: SATRANS, a passenger van shuttle, is available at $8.00 per
passenger one way. Round trip is $14.00. SATRANS operates 7 days per week
from 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. The shuttle departs from the SATRANS kiosk
located outside both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. Shuttles leave every 10
minutes from the airport to downtown hotels and do not require a
reservation, but reservations are required for the return trip to the
airport from the hotel. The telephone number is 210-281-9900.

Taxicab: Taxi companies operate minivans as well as sedans. All cabs charge
the same rates. The average one-way fare from the airport to downtown is
$15.00 plus tip. The fare can be divided among the number of passengers in
the cab.

Driving from the airport: Take U.S. Highway 281 South to I-35 South. Exit
at Main Street and turn left under the highway. Turn left onto Pecan St.
The Adam's Mark is at the corner of Pecan and Soledad, one block from Main
Street.
