TRAVEL TO BLOOMINGTON

Please note: there is no airport in Bloomington, Indiana! If you are traveling to the conference by plane, make sure your flight is booked to the Indianapolis International Airport (IND).  Some people mistakenly book tickets to the airport in Bloomington, Illinois - but that is the wrong city!! It is 3 hours away (in a different State) from Indiana Unversity, Bloomington!  Please be absolutely sure you are booking tickets to IND (Indianapolis International Airport).

You will need to arrange transportation to Bloomington from the airport in Indianapolis. There are two shuttle services that you may use: Star of America or GO Express Travel. Booking ahead of time online saves a few dollars and guarantees you a seat at a particular time, but tickets are non-refundable in the event of flight delays.
