Getting to Fort Collins

Fly into Denver International Airport (DEN).

• DEN is served by all major US Airlines
• Major hub for United Airlines, Frontier Airlines and Southwest Airlines
• Major international airlines such as British Airways, Lufthansa, Air France, Air Canada, Turkish Airlines and Icelandair, have direct flights into Denver from their respective hubs.

From the airport you have two options:

Rent a car and drive

A 1 hr. – 1.5 hrs. drive depending on traffic. Almost all major car rental companies have a presence at the airport.

Take the airport shuttle

Both services run every hour and require an advance reservation.

• Groome Transportation provides door-to-door service from/to the airport to/from the hotel every hour. Need to make advance reservation at the website.
• Landline offers a shuttle service to and from Denver International Airport and the CSU Transit Center, every hour, reaching the campus directly. Need to make advance reservation.

The CSU Transit Center is at the north end of the Lory Student Center, 1101 Center Ave — the conference venue itself, so there is no onward connection to make. The shuttle back to Denver International Airport leaves from the same place.
