You’ll fly to Madison from another American city. The major carriers stopping here are United, Northwest, and Midwest Express. People flying to the Midwest tend to think it necessary to go through Chicago’s O’Hare airport. It isn’t, and there are some good reasons to avoid it. Weather difficulties can back traffic up there for hours. It’s often better to go via Minneapolis, Detroit, or other hubs. The Madison airport is fairly pleasant, as airports go, with a design based loosely on Frank Lloyd Wright styles. If you have time, take a look at the gallery display on the ground floor central area; there’s often something related to the University’s history. If no one is meeting you, you’ll have to take a cab. (Sorry, no buses.) Many of the cabs are mini-vans that can carry several passengers at reduced rates. Most cabs are hybrid vehicles or run on environmentally favorable fuels. By bus: You can do it all the way (check Greyhound) or part way. If you do fly to Chicago, you can save airfare by riding the Van Galder Bus (aka Coach USA), available at the exit labeled “Regional Buses.” On their website, use the pull-down menus on the left under "Scheduled Services" to find travel schedules. The bus takes about 3 hours to go from O’Hare to Madison, with a terminus at the Student Union on Langdon Street. By car: Let an atlas, Google Maps, or GPS guide you to your hotel. |
