Airports

The main airport is Port Columbus (CMH). 

A taxi fare from the airport to OSU campus is around $20. There are also shuttle services and rental car companies available at the airport. Some of the hotels provide shuttle service as well if you make a reservation in advance.

You may also take the public bus service, called the "Capital Flyer", which runs hourly between 7am and 9pm from the airport to downtown ($5). In downtown you then have to go to High Street and take the #2 Bus north until campus ($1.25).

Airfares into Columbus for the conference dates are presently between $100 (e.g. MDW)  to $350 (e.g. SFO) from most places in the US. Occasionally cheaper airfares can be found for nearby airports. The closest larger ones are:
