Student and faculty participants who are traveling by air should schedule the transportation into and out of the Colorado Springs Airport. Direct flights to Colorado Springs from major airline hubs such as Chicago, Minneapolis, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, and Salt Lake City (among others) are available on the major airlines that most Rheology participants will use. A "commuter flight" from Denver can easily be avoided and the cost of flights routed directly in to Colorado Springs can commonly be equal or less than those requiring a connection in Denver.
Transportation from the Colorado Springs Airport to Colorado College will be provided in white vans marked with the Colorado College emblem. On this web site, a description of the site for pickup and a listing of departure times will be provided.
Participants arriving in Denver will need to make their own arrangements for ground transportation to Colorado College in Colorado Springs. A possible service to use is described at http://www.coloradoshuttle.com/.
