Wi4 Transportation Tips [2]
[3]With airfare at its lowest point in nearly a decade, now is an ideal time for booksellers who haven't already booked their flights to the ABA Winter Institute [3] in Salt Lake City to shop around for the best prices. Airfares recently available via Orbitz.com [4] and other discount travel services included a $158 (plus taxes and fees) from Los Angeles, $218 from New York, and $169 from Seattle.
The cost of hopping a taxi from the Salt Lake City International Airport [5] to the Wi4 host hotel, the Salt Lake City Marriott Downtown [6] is about $15 (plus tip). Taxi service booths are located in the baggage claim areas outside Door #7 in Terminal One and Door #11 in Terminal Two. All Resort, City Cab, Ute Cab, and Yellow Cab are the major cab companies.
ABA has arranged a special rate of $8 per person with All Resort Transportation Service, and reservations can be made in advance [7]. The $8 rate is per person for a shared ride. If two or more people are traveling together, it might cost the same or less to pick up a cab at the airport.
Salt Lake features a light rail system called TRAX, and there's a "Free Fare Zone [8]," which encompasses the Downtown Marriott. Complete schedule information and other details about TRAX are available on the Utah Transportation Authority website [9]. Light rail service is not available at the airport.
Downloadable maps of the airport [10], car rental information [11], and more is available on the Salt Lake City International Airport website [5].
Parking is available at the Salt Lake Marriott Downtown at the rate of $2 per hour or $12 daily. Valet parking is $15 daily. Off-site parking is also available; details are available from the hotel.
