TRAVEL
Gainesville is served by Gainesville Regional Airport (GNV).
There are regular flights to and from Atlanta on Delta and to and
from Charlotte, NC on USAir. GNV is about 5 miles from the Math Dept
and about 7.5 miles from the Rush Lake Motel.
For more flights and perhaps cheaper fares, you can also check the
two other regional airports. Depending on where you
are coming from and/or the size of your party, it may be less
expensive to fly into one of these airports and rent a car.
- Jacksonville (JAX) is about a 90 minute drive. If you
drive from here take care as the speed limit changes frequently
on the roads, and several towns along the way make a substantial
portion of their budget from traffic tickets.
- Orlando (MCO) is about a two hour drive. As consequence
of Disney World, etc., there are many flights into MCO and
one occasionally can get very good deals.
- JAX and MCO are both served by
Runways Transportation Company.
You need to make reservations on-line or call them at
1-800-5RUNWAYS. This is a regular service with schedules,
not an on-call airport limousine. In Gainesville
they will let you off at one
of their regular stops; They do not take you directly to your hotel.
Their prices are always changing and
depend on when you are traveling.
As of this writing the fare to Gainesville from JAX was $65 roundtrip
and $75 roundtrip Gainesville to MCO (7-day advanced purchase fare).
