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.

Hi Larry-

The two closest! airports are Bradley Int'l (BDL) in Hartford, CT and JFK
airport in New York. 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.

Hope that helps-

Subject: ATEG Conference--flying suggestions?

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!

Larry
