How to get from BDL to Hartford?

[Bill AA7XT]

I am looking forward to this weekend's HamSci Conference!

I am flying from DEN to BDL, arriving Friday late afternoon. Is it practical to take an Uber or Lyft from BDL to my hotel (Courtyard by Marriott Hartford Farmington)? Or are there shuttle services?

Uber's website suggests this is possible. I am just curious to know how reliable rideshare is on this route.

For what it's worth, I took an Uber from BDL to that hotel and back, and it worked fine. They didn't seem to have a shuttle.

Best,

Uber can jump in price especially if there is a surge.  Check with the taxi stand.  That is a flat rate and might be cheaper than Uber..

[J. Gordon Beattie, Jr.]

Lyft is often less expensive than Uber as well.

Safe travels to all!  I will attend virtually, except for an unfortunate period Saturday morning, when my biennial recurrent, in-person  SkyWarn training is taking place.

 

I have many friends who are likely in the air at this moment.
