I am trying to make arrangements for flying in to the rally from far away & out of state.

Could someone tell me

1. Best airport to use (are there 2 in the area?)

2. Drive time or a recommended taxi service ( so I can call to get a price), to Capitol
Building?

Much thanks if you can provide advice!

Bradley International Airport (BDL) is about 20 minutes from where you want to end up (16 miles according to mapquest).

Try to book a big company airline, as smaller airports with smaller airlines have higher frequency/occurrence of cancellations/changes.

I wish I could be there with you guys.

If I did not receive the help I needed, I wouldn't be at work.

Northstar, if you have any more questions, just ask.

I'm going to paste this info to the 'sticky thread' at the top of this board.

If anyone has more detailed airport info -
please post it here and I will add it to the 'Final details' info.

Travelocity and priceline and the like have cheap last minute flights!

Thank you Lymester! That was the info I needed. I will do some research on cab costs or mass transit to the rally to see how it compares to one day car rental (which I really do not want to do). I will post info if I find any.

``Although you can hail an available cab if you spot one, it's always a better idea to call ahead for a taxi.''

A-1 Taxi Service - (860) 944-0911
Airport Express Livery & Taxi - (860) 836-8294
The Bill Taxi Company - (860) 559-1040
Central CT Taxi - (860) 833-6949
A City Cab - (860) 627-9320
Executive 2000 Taxi Service - (860) 635-8222/800 801-0361
Executive Cab Co., Inc. - (860) 627-5843
5 Star Taxi - (860) 527-5555
Metro-Star Taxi Company - (860) 292-6666
United Cab Co. - (860) 547-1602
Windsor Taxi - (860) 524-5000
Yellow Cab Co. - (860) 666-6666

BDL (airport) to State Capital Building
The State Capitol building is located at 210 Capitol Avenue, Hartford

Survey of 4 taxi services: all said 35.00 one way, flat rate.

IMO, United , Airport Express, and Yellow cab services had more understandable communication (due to accents) in response to inquiry.
