I live in CT. There are no trains from Hartford to Fairfield. There is probably some van services, but it's probably about 90 minutes from Bradley to Fairfield Univ. A taxi would be way too expensive. The Fairfield train station is convenient, but it's a hike to the Univ. I'd suggest the cab service (I know there are taxis there, but I can't remember the name of the cab company). By the way, the train from Grand Central to Fairfield (New Haven line) is Metro North. They have a very easy to navigate web site if you're looking for schedules. It's about $20.00 round trip (off peak, I think) and takes about an hour and 40 minutes usually. If you're hooked up with a local hotel, you might want to get their advice, too. Paul D.

I do not *think that you can get a train easily from BDL to Fairfield, but I know that if you fly into JFK and then train to Grand Central Station, you can pick up the Shoreline East Commuter train which takes you to Fairfield station.

I'm hoping to attend the ATEG conference this July but have to investigate the transportation (and cost) options. From what I can tell, there is no airport in Fairfield, CT. Does anyone have any suggestions on what airports are best to fly into--especially one that might near a train that goes to Fairfield? I know it'll depend on where I'm flying in from (Mobile AL, probably), but I'd be interested in hearing general suggestions as well. Maybe others would also. I didn't see any specifics on the web site for Fairfield University. Thanks!
